like that and in just more of our story and our truth being told, becoming really part of the american narrative the american narrative has been dominated by white voices for, you know, over 200 years -- over 300 years, and and i'm interested in everyone's story being told. and i hope to help others tell their story. yeah. >> hi. my name's antonio, thanks for coming. like you, i'm a stanford -- i have stanford and harvard degrees. i also went to west point for undergrad. and i run a private school here, and i really appreciate your first book. that's how i found out about you. >> okay. >> but my other passion is police brutality, and i got into that -- >> you mean anti-police brutality? >> yes. [laughter] anti-police, anti-prison, anti-police brutality. >> yeah. >> and, you know, i got into that not on purpose. i had a run-in with a cop and had a really bad experience, and that sort of opened my eyes to a lot of the issues that, you know, black lives matter has been pushing, other people have been pushing for generations, quite frankly. >> yeah. >> but the thing that happened after i had my run-

the american narrative is being re-evaluated. history is not written by the victors.it's written by the victims. and during the course of time, if that history allows for those who were disenfranchised or confined or discriminated against or powerless to rise up within that society, in those positions of power they begin to re-evaluate that narrative. women over the last 50, 60 years have experienced unprecedented wealth and education and upward mobility. 60% of college enrollment today is women. 40% is male. so, there's new female power clash that has emerged and they are re-evaluating the social norms that we used to turn away from, tush a blind eye to and they are saying we will step forward and begin to rewrite this narrative going to the future. the problem, because it's a double-edged sword is if it becomes so large and credibility to suspicion. and that's the greatest concern that i see happening with all of this. >> dr. carson? >> well, you know, things between men and women have been going on since there were men and women, you know. in terms of whether it's,

it's hard now to recall how maligned the decade, but the 50s take on the narrative of american history was unrecognizable now. not to be to stick figure he but yes, there were blocks in american history. there was george washington carver who did peanuts and there were the slaves who were happy. there were more or less women , nancy ross sewing the american flag. there was some significant violence because there were no significant engines across class, race, ethnic lines. the view about the us position in world affairs was totally benign. it was all plus. and then came the civil rights movement. the civil rights movement was calling for a transformation of black position in contemporary society . and it had a component that at the same time people wanted to change the present, they began to think about changing the past, read people in the past which was so limited in its definition of membership. the histories written about the united states focused on the great white guys and the affairs of state and the affairs of business, social history and economichistory was by the boards . so

what is the american islamic narrative. that's where we are today. i see that as an opportunity that will alleviate the fears of many of our fellow americans, but more importantly, present hope for the future for our future generatio generations and young leaders of american muslims. >> thanks for having me, you know, and on the question of fixing our national security again, as i said earlier, i believe there are domestic roots to our national security and so for me, being an american is about the idea of e pluribus unum, out of many, one. in a sense we're already healing our security through the elections in alabama, through the elections in new jersey and so, it's that journey of american democracy that will shape our national security. i've already heard from folks across the world that they kind of woke up, took note in those elections and recognized that in a way to a rebuke of the president's policies, so, in a way, they're already discounting this president's actions because of the sort of domestic responses. so, again, e pluribus unum, out of

the allegations. >> it played into the narrative, absolutely. >> for the african-american voters who came out in the droves, again, showing that they will not be swayed by that kind of narrative -- >> he was a bad candidate. at the end of the day -- >> beyond that, it's beyond that. there is something happening with liberals. there is something happening with the left. you had people staying home, but we had people showing up. this was a imiracle. what happened tonight was not supposed to happen. you saw women and black women pulling alabama into the 21st century. it was amazing. >> jones did not talk about donald trump in his victory speech or roy moore. he did not talk about steve bannon. >> this entire race has been about dignity and respect. this campaign has been about the rule of law. this campaign -- [ applause ] this campaign has been about common courtesy and decency. >> it was also about a whole lot more than that for the democrats. the dnc poured about $1 million into alabama. progressive groups were also there. mo, this puts the democrats on the offensive for the midterm elections. it ch

the sort. this goes out to the narrative perp perpetuating that donald trump is racist. the americanle are sick of this when they haven't seen anything that has shown anything of the sort. >> wait a minute. is it a perpetuation when there has already been an established pattern going back to housing discrimination which there were settlements involved in that to the president's remarks about these young men in new york. they later were exonerated. to leading the birtherism movement of the first president of the united states who is african-american. there is that pattern. so there is that reference point when people look at these quotes now that seem in step with some precedence. >> i think that's the important thing. seem in step to perpeduate the narrati narrative. with the birther movement not because he was the first african-american president which his father is from africa and my parents are as well. it's coming down to the facts. what people need to know is the facts. what this whole security system when it comes to this ban. it's not a muslim ban and it's a travel ban. it's t

everybody in the media jumps on these stories and continues this false narrative so it tells the american people something is going on. then on page 8 there is a d on page 98 there is a correction and nobody ever hears about that. he tells the american people the truth and he talks directly to them. jesse: i don't know why they keep getting the russia story wrong. i don't know if it's sloppiness, i don't know if sources are lying to them or they are over the tips of their skis and they end up getting egg on their face. let's listen to some more trump from pensacola just ripping. president trump: hispanic unemployment is the lowest ever recorded. any hispanics? you guys were great. remember, they weren't going to vote for me because i'm going to build a wall? but they want the wall, too, they want security. oh, we are going to have the wall, don't worry.

the american republic. so we tell a story. the core narrative is about1760, but we carry you through to the present day, to explore the legacies of the american revolution. but first we have to step back to 1776 and we actually start with a re-creation of the moment on july 9th, when a group of soldiers and sailors first heard the words of the declaration of independence tore down an equestrian statue of king george iii really marking the war of the independence, the american revolution. and so this is really our first gallery displaying objects from the period. we call this rural britannia. after you've been in that moment of 1776, we take you back 15 years, really to the end of what was known as the 7 years war or the french and indian war, the asession of the new king george iii. >> britain wins the victory. this vastly expanded britain's territories from india, africa. and north america, more than double the territory that britain laid claim over in the case behind us, we have a collection of objects owned and used by colonial americans that

years ago, the president of the american historical association, talked about it is time to reassemble the narrative. i am not sure we have managed to do that. if we're going to answer this effectively, it seems to me a lot of it has to do not only with the way in which history is understood but the way in which it is presented. that is an open question for anyone. >> it won't be a surprise that i agree we need to find ways to tell the stories. we need to tell it through the people who are affected, the people who benefited, the people who were hurt. it is one extra step in the research but it is a giant one and well worth it. there is no doubt i agree with that. how do you market history as vital to who we are? i do have a concern that goes deeper than that and that is what is our default knowledge about who we are? i don't think there are any of us who find this surprising that we have seen a deterioration in the knowledge of that ever since something as simple as civics died in junior high and high school. we do not take civics. if's there even a textbook out there published anymore that has a ca

they think that president trump and the current american administration has bought into the israeli narrative denied the palestinians they are right to the city. the palestinians, as you know, demand that their capital should be in eastjerusalem, which was ca ptu red in eastjerusalem, which was captured by israel in 1967, and they believe the annexation ofjerusalem and therefore the recognition of the city ofjerusalem as the capital of israel is against international law. we have heard so many condemnations, state m e nts we have heard so many condemnations, statements from various leaders here in the palestinian authority, and in neighbouring countries. president a bass of the palestinian authority travelled to jordan to bass of the palestinian authority travelled tojordan to talk bass of the palestinian authority travelled to jordan to talk to the king. on saturday, there is a meeting in istanbul for the organisation of islamic states. thank you forjoining us again. that is the view in easternjerusalem. later in the hour, we will be talking to a diplomat representative of the israeli embass

the risk is that china is such a large market and many american firms are so eager to get access to china, and china has such a compelling interest in shaping the narrativehat it creates a perfect storm of bad incentives for american corporations who have potential business before the chinese government. not just for what happens on the internet within china, but for what happens on the internet across the entire world. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: an exclusive new hospital opens in dubai and all its patients are camels! after eight months on the run, saddam hussein has been tracked down and captured by american forces. saddam hussein is finished because he killed our people, our women, our children. the signatures took only a few minutes but they brought a formal end to 3.5 years of conflict, a conflict that has claimed over 200,000 lives. before an audience of world leaders, the presidents of bosnia, serbia and croatia put their names to the peace agreement. the romanian border was sealed and silent today. romania has cut itself off from the outside world in order to prevent the details of the presumed massacre in timisoara from leaking out

generation or two been created by historians who, challengedeally have the old narratives is now very, very widespread. how good many y american history text books are in colleges used and high schools. they are very candid about the istory of slavery, the history of segregation. the history of labor conflict and other things which used to really ignored or downplayed in text books. the practical consequences of that are, it's mpossible to say, but i'm actually more upbeat about the history inowledge of the country, despite many contrary, i'll certainly admit. >> i would conquer with what heard.just i'm old enough to remember when he nation was mesmerized by a tv show on commercial tv called "roots." everyone watched it. i'm impressed with the work civil war and on vietnam and on baseball and on jazz. and i'm also very impressed, and make this point very forcefully, if i can, with the ork that you've seen by the historians on this panel in through lobal stories the experiences of individuals. murdered in front of his child.nd the erson who goes through trauma of growth and leaving a city, leaving a part of the country. story,

about don jr., just getting a date wrong the problem is, everyone else in media you jumps on stories continues this false narrative so that it tells the americaneople something is going on, then on page you know 98, they say oh there is a correction nobody ever hears about that that is why the president letting trump be trump part of that is, giving the president the reins so he runs his ship this is type of thing he does tells the american people, the truth and he talks directly to them. >> i don't know why they get the russia story wrong a lot of fake news stories out there i think 75 or fake ones have to do with russia i don't know if sloppiness i don't know if sources are lying to them, or they are totally over the tips of their skis and ended you will up getting egg on face i don't know what it is lessen to more trump from pensacola, here is what he said just listen. >> hispanic unemployment is the lowest ever recorded. any hispanics here? any hispanics you are great, remember weren't going to vote for me i'm going to build a wall they want the wall they want security. >> oh we are going to have the wall. don't worry. >> build the wall, b

the party exchange narratives with chuck schumer and others harking on on the debt. that's one of the reasons senator corker was so opposed. but i think the narrative they are trying to present to the american people it will in te effect pay for itself. that's the goal. but republicans feel they absolutely need to pass something because of the great failure not being able to pass some reform of the affordable care act this year. so more about the political game and they want to say they cut taxes and most important things for the republicans. >> you talked about a narrative. let me ask you, the bill would cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. pra president obama wanted to cut to 28 so this is quite the cut. isn't the logic the same? >> i think the republicans obviously are all about tax cuts and they always have been. ideological mission for them. but this bill cuts rates on corporations and the middle class people. but the middle class tax cuts expire in 2025. so when you remove the individual mandate, and you increase middle class taxes in 2025, people don't have health insurance, and now they are paying more in taxes. >> let me pick up on that. i think that's a good point. so repub

and will believe the public affairs is a part of it because we wanted to do it like in this situation, we wanted mexican americans and latinos to tell the stories. tell our own narrative to be inclusive. the printedat population today in the united -- prison population today and the united states, 19% of the prison population in the u.s. is latino. a lot of our communities are in need. the highest dropout rate from high school continue to be latinos in the united states. and, yet, you see the figures how we are significant and projected to go even larger. that to happen. we have been able to document some of the stories and some of the other media have not. that's been the case of an indigenous woman living in the her childwas denied at birth because she could not communicate in english or spanish. because she spoke a native language from my home state, i -- oazxaca. it is in that kind of case where some community folks from, i think, it was alabama called our station and told us the story and we broke it and pick it up and it drew coverage. that is the kind of story we cover. right now, what is happening, there is a lot of fear among our families about deportation. a

the obama administration entered into negotiations with iran over this nuclear deal. >> ben rhodes whose only major experience was major creative writing. ben rhodes lied to americans. he lied to reporters. because he sent out this narrativehe media ran with it. that's one of the reasons americans have a huge distrust in the media outlets. no one knows what to believe anymore. but this puts americans at risk. you just had dr. marc siegel on talking about the drug crisis in our country. how many lives were lost? >> it means our southern border per more vulnerable than we thought and an easy way for iran to slip in operatives into our country as well. we watched as the obama administration negotiated with iran over this deal it was obviously iran pushed for a stronger and stronger deal for themselves. our president at the time bent over backwards. is it far-fetched some people in the administration may have slowed down the investigation? "politico" isn't exactly a right-leaning organization. the way they reported it sounds like they are pretty sure. they have testimony from close allies with obama. people within his own treasury department testifying. there was testimony in court that was just jeff looked. it reads -- that

this is the administration that never got up to three percent economic growth. this is a jobs bill. the narrative is corporations are wealthy. american people own the corporations. what we are doing with the cuts in the corporations and small business is allowing to have more capital to create more jobs to be able to expand. i have some very poor counties in my district. i have good businesses there. they are very excited about getting money back so they can expand. that expansion will bring more jobs in areas we need jobs. >> i'm saying to you that this is a jobs bill. >>. >> all americans own stock in corporations. >> american people do. >> some american people do. >> also sitting on $2.3 trillion in cash. >> in all due respect -- >> why would you say i need more of those corporations to have more money? why not give it directly to the folks. why not do job creation by giving the money to the middle class and lower class so they can reinvest in themselves? >> i understand your narrative. that is the concept of socialism. all you do is transfer welt from one person to the other. >> it's a tax cut. if you are doing tax cuts they are

themselves as conducted in a bipartisan way, it's unclear whether there will be a comprehensive narrative for the americane threat is of russian intelligence meddling in elections going forward. >> even so, agreeing on a set of facts across party lines doesn't seem like a complicated notion. but these days, it is. and if they can get there, that's pretty good. carrie cordero, thanks for joining me, i appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> ahead, china is calling for calm this morning after north korea calls the latest round of u.n. sanctions an act of war. are you taking the tissue test? yep, and my teeth are yellow. time for whitestrips. crest glamorous white whitestrips are the only ada-accepted whitening strips proven to be safe and effective. and they whiten 25x better than a leading whitening toothpaste. crest. healthy, beautiful smiles for life. you or joints. something for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. ♪ ♪ give a

process to hire a superintendent at the top of my mind was putting somebody in place that can completely transform the narrative that we've seen around african american students. i believe it's someone that went to mac ateer high school, one of the schools that was shutdown by this board, to come back and lead the district, that we would have the right leadership and be honest about the situation that we're in. the pronoun of we is very appropriate. i appreciate all of the impassioned public comment. there are people in this room that didn't speak that are going to go back into schools tomorrow, knowing and feeling like they're doing the hard work every day, and, like, the comments today were reflective of the passion and the drive and how much they've been working hard to push against what we know to be the case in our schools. school principals that are on this list, the principal at mlk, prince at carver, excellent leaders that are as dissatisfied as we are here to see the results as they exist, so you know, we've been about the work, we've been about the action, that action, and that's why -- i mean, that's why i ran for this board when i was run

the story i thought was the narrative, i thought was can happen. but it is a very different and unique narrative, at the same time. irony being japanese-americans understanding that legacy of immigration that affected my family when we arrived from japan, and understanding isifornia agriculture that swirling and turning and growing, expanding, all at the same time. immigrantsissue of and immigration are part of the fabric of agriculture. a continues today, so the workers we have are part of this whole new definition of what does it mean to be an american, and an immigrant. and they are all part of the food system that we have. i hope people take away from my stories and my books, a sense of authenticity. this is the real world. journalist who spends one summer on a farm and writes about food. , my family hasis been part of this for generations. this is what i live and breathe, and heard from at the same time. because i try to lie -- i try to write about that authentic life of farming and being a family the same time, and the struggles and challenges we have within forces,k, economic environmental, climate change, prices, shifting weather, those

we've got to find out whether the whole fake phony narrative about the president and russia was created to distract the american people and distract congress from the very real connection that you had with the dnc and the clinton campaign and russia. gregg: i'm out of time but you have absolutely no confidence in the fair objectivity of robert mueller and his team? >> the american people don't have confidence. that's the harvard poll that shows 54% of americans believe there's a conflict of interest. it's time for the attorney general to step up, end the investigation and call it the sham it is. gregg: and appoint a special counsel to investigate comey, clinton, and mccabe, the whole lot of them. >> that's what has to happen. if it doesn't, this could happen again in the future with another presidential candidate, another political figure. they could get treatment that wouldn't be afforded any other american if we don't not have a special counsel. what this entire experience has proven is that transparency is the greatant dote to the lies that have been told about the clinton administration, the obama administr

the democratic narrative, how truthful is it? our middle-class americans and lower income americans actually not getting a tax cut? >> 91% of the middle class are getting some kind of tax break. i think bernie sanders is upset he can't write off all three of his houses on this bill. unless the left has an enemy, class warfare going on in the name of socialism, they aren't going to be happy about any of this. you heard the argument that corporations have permanent tax break while individuals do not. that's true. however. the reason is because you need 60 votes to have permanent individual tax cuts and the way you do that is getting democrats on board. bernie sanders refused to step up. he didn't write his own bill and here we are with the individual tax rate being temporary. >> health care proved to be much more difficult for republicans then tax reform. that's frustrating for the part party. this is however a big victory and could have a great economic impact. what would it take for democrats to acknowledge tax cuts are good for the economy? >> all democra

the press, white house press corps focused on omarosa. seems the narrative is being lost. polling shows americans are not being really, they're not really sold on tax reform. maybe this is not a good pr machine in washington right now on it? >> i would say look, the white house could have done a far better job selling this but i would also say we're not factoring in two things. one is the democrats extreme dem goingry on this. "wall street journal" james freeman talks about this all the time. we talked about how low the american people think about the tax bill. remember in 1981 ronald reagan was only 18%. trish: we've got to run. really quick. session lows on stocks on rubio news. we'll explain that. we'll come right back. liberty mutual saved us almost eight hundred dollars when we switched our auto and home insurance. with liberty, we could afford a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey. oh. that's my robe. is it? you could save seven hundred eighty two dollars when liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance. cheryl: so under the new gop tax plan the house and senate agreed to sla

generation or two, has been who reallyhistorians have challenged the old narratives is now very widespread. eye and impressed by how good many american history textbooks are now that are used in colleges and high schools. they are very candid about the history of slavery, the history of segregation, the history of labor conflict, and other things which used to be really ignored or downplayed in textbooks. what the practical consequences of that bar is impossible to say, but i am actually more upbeat about the level of knowledge of history in the country despite many examples to the contrary, i will certainly admit. i concur, and i am old enough to remember when the country was mesmerized by a tv program called "roots." i am impressed with the work of ken burns on the civil war and jazz,m and baseball and and i am also very impressed -- and i want to make this point very forcefully if i can -- with the work you have seen by his the historians on this panel in telling global stories through the experiences of individuals. one man murdered in front of his and child. one person who goes through the and it leavingh a city, leaving a part

the most vocal elements have been fashioning a new american narrative replacing pride with guilt, common identity with treble grievance, pragmatism with utopian expectation and a fear of power with the conviction that if only the wise and virtuous, the graduates of harvard the williams and their wannabes could have their way all would be made right. how long before they have their way with us? i said in the first instance, because our educational system stands behind our educational system stands and intelligentsia, which fits it very well, it has come to the totalitarian temptation. i could talk about why i think that has happened but my time doesn't allow for that. perhaps later in the discussion. how did american conservatism allow the political culture to change? they didn't allow to change by listening to me, since i have made my career railing on the points i have advanced here. apart from that, what? despite the considerable historical savvy of many conservatives. we took too much of our institutions and principles for granted. as far as the united states was concerned. we thought

the bill that many people will actually benefit from. but certainly for lower and middle income americans not only is it just minimally impactful on their lives, the sense over all and the narrative in the public has been this is a big giveaway to trump and to wealthy members of congress who benefit personally. they have done a terrible job with this as they did with health care. a terrible job selling it to the american people. that is the down side of rushing through the legislative process to get the supposed victory. i don't know how much of a victory it will be when 2018 rolls around. >> the optics are not good. >> terrible. >> the white house still had this big tax celebration. it morphed into a love fest for the he president this week. i want to play you some of that. >> it's been a year of extraordinary accomplishment for the trump administration. >> something this profound could not have been done without exquisite presidential leadership. >> we will make this the greatest presidency we have seen not only in generations but maybe ever. >> we would not be standing here today if it wasn't for you. >> i would say to the american people, president trump has been making histo

the american republican. so we tell a story. the core narrative is about 1760 to 1790 but then we carry you through to the present day for . the legacies of the american revolution.te but first we have to step back and actually start with a a recreation of the moment on july 9th, 1776 when a group of soldiers and sailors in new york city first heard the words of d the declaration of independencer and gathered down at the bowline green, which is now near the b raging bull on wall street, the landmark familiar to many r viewers, and tore down an equestrian statue of king george, ii, marking the beginning of the war of independence, the beginning of the american revolution.ll and so this is really our first gallery displaying object from the period. we call this gallery rule britannica. after you've been in that moment of 1776, we take you back 15 years really to the end of what was known as the seven years' w war, the obsession of the view of king george, iii, british monarch. w this is the period in which britain wins this incredible victory, what
