as of the 2010 census, there were nearly 5.6 million asian-americans, about 290,000 pacific islanders in the state of california making up about 15% and one percent of the state's population respectively. asian-american and pacific island communities in california are growing proportionately between 2000 and 2010, the state's asian-american population grew by 34%. pacific islanders grew 29%. by comparison, latinos, a healthy rate of growth, 28%, native americans at 15, african-americans at 17. in contrast, the nonhispanic white population decreased 5% over the past decade. so while asian-americans are geographically disbursed throughout the states, they're more concentrated in urban centers. over one quarter of california's asian-american population, nearly 1.5 million foekts, live in los angeles county alone. yet asian-americans in other counties are growing at much faster rates. among the ten counties with the largest asian-american pom lagses, asian-americans are growing fastest in places like riverside, sacramento, contra costa, orange and san diego counties. while asian-american communities i

, but on the other hand the fact that china holds so much american debt means they want to maintain a good relationship with the united states. >> what's the downside? >> the downside for the trade figures is the loss of jobs in the united states and that's really hitting american workers quite hard, but americans are workers and consumers, the advantage of the united states is cheap goods made in china. i think walmart is the single biggest trading partner with china. >> 60% of what they buy at least comes from china? >> the trade relationship between walmart and china is bigger than the trade relationships with most country. it's quite extraordinary. that's a down side. the other down side is that the chinese will continue to try to get into the american market and continue to try to protect their own and a trade imbalance that side i think will always lead to political tensions. >> what about them owning $349 billion of our debt? >> well, the fact that they own so much of your debt means in a way that they have a vested interest in seeing a healthy united states. and what they don't want is that debt they hold to become w

the ones we face today. but very few americans know the story of the hundreds of thousand of tribal members who have served in the united states military as far back as the revolutionary war. as a veteran myself, i want to thank colonel huntinghorse and the 24,000 active duty american indian alaskan soldiers serving to day to protect the united states and the tribal nations of north america. thank you.

centered on a new period of the state in which experts administered government can have the outcome, by becoming responsible for the subordination to that purpose, the american state will in effect be making itself responsible for a morally and desirable distribution of wealth. so, teddy roosevelt is looking for a new philosophy and he finds it. when out in the safaris of africa when reading it and gobbling it up. the material progress and prosperity of the nation so far as they lead the moral and material welfare of all good citizens. the initial draft was written by crowley himself, progress and welfare apply to the naturalization of politics. a break in the -- they now play an interventionist role with real democracy because if we do not have the right kind of law and the right kind of administration, the law cannot go forward. so in his own osowatomee speech, they are on the progressive mantle and not nowhere near as high minded as they are in the first place, but he does it nonetheless. he does elude the beginning when hard work pays off and they can mick it if they try, but that was the argument of his earlier generation. his basic bargain is so eroded

the program. so without further ado, dr. magness. >> thank you. john willis menard is a familiar name for those who know a bit about history of african-american representation in the united states house of representatives. his main claim to fame is that he was the first african-american elected to the house of representatives. but he was denied his seat in 1869. we'll get into a bit of the reasons behind that. but i'm here to talk about some of his life, his background, his history up until this point, because he was actually a very accomplished individual, who sat at the crossroads of two major events in american history, and international history. they were related events, the american civil war had a front-row seat to this right here in washington, d.c. but also, shortly after the war, he migrated to jamaica, and was a participant in a major event internationally in 1865. both of these events had the connection of being tied to the end of slavery, and establishment of greater freedom, civil rights for the african population, both in the british empire and the united states. so he had a front-row seat to two intersecting events at a very tumultuous time in history. we don't k

views, but somebody who was so influential did not really hold any of the highest positions in the american state department. the highest efficiency rose to her and passenger ships to the osco and to belgrade, both unsuccessful. and apart from that, that was set apart from direct the policy planning. the part of this is the very difficulty of working with george kennan. this is what his colleague felt a great friend of his for years, but also felt this. anybody who ever tried to deal with kennan found the experience to be treated. to personalize things on the tendency to be emotional at the same time you're been brilliant, kind of lacked the capacity to breathe brilliant, but the task is a very important quality would not do that. and so, as a result of this, george himself made it difficult to work with themselves and bureaucracies. and so after a while, the word got around that maybe church of the be better placed somewhere else. maybe george should become a professor in which none of this would create any problems. >> host: it's interesting this notion that he understood himself to be perhaps

during and after the american revolution, it led the states both along the path towards an elected government and to a convention which drafted the american constitution in much the same way the national transitional government has represented the libyan movement during and after the uprising, and would also guide the upcoming election of the national assembly in june. the national assembly will oversee the drafting of the constitution, which will serve as a bedrock, as the bedrock for our democracy, and insurance peaceful transitions between elected governments. it will define the rights and responsibilities of all libyans. george washington once said, and i quote, the constitution is the guide that i will never abandon. and libyans too embrace this idea as we move forward with our democratic transition. libyans also fought for human rights, and as interim government, we must pave the way so that human rights are respected and guaranteed in the new libya. as i explained in the 19th session of the human rights council in geneva, less than a week ago, several concrete steps towards ensuring th

the united states district court that the supreme court began to restrict the state's power to wire tap without limits. sectly, i think we need to try to find a way to assess american's attitudes. it's always difficult to assess public sentiment about issues at any given time. americans, of course, do not generally know about the nixon administration secret anti-dissent policy until the investigation of the watergate but this tells us something about how americans felt about civil disorder and especially street heat. civil unrest, urban revolt and protests, an overwhelming majority of americans polled in 1970, 76% said they did not support the first amendment right to government policies. blaming the press for sensationalizing protests and this disorder, a majority of those polls polled did not support the freedom of the press. nixon's anti-dissent rhetoric did not seem to offend the americans who elected him by a landslide in 1972 when he earned a greater margin of the popular vote than he had four years before. now, to explore these questions is not to evolve richard nixon of his role in anti-dissent policy. but we need to acknowledge that the nixon white house for

who funded all of the investigations that led to paula jones on and on and the articles in the american stateheater. but nothing compared to the money and the organization that we have seen on charles david polk. who bar the heads of coke industries, they are at the third and fourth richest man in america and the people of america, both men. and we know about locates and warren buffett. these are number three and number four. combined wealth of $50 billion. they have put more money -- by the way, i have to say this. they do some good things, particularly david cook was the wealthiest man in new york city. he thought michael bloomberg was. no, it's david cÔte. but he funds the master poets and not try. the metropolitan museum of art, cancer research centers around the country. but most of their money goes into political activities. and they are everywhere. the heritage foundation in washington d.c., coke brothers. the cato institute when it started, coke others. some of you may know that the cato when it's done independently in the coat others are now suing the cato institute to get it back to

the american self image, you can read hundreds of u.s. textbooks and say that the basic form policy of the united states is isolationism. then there has been times of the world has required us to depart from that isolationist tradition. the we go back to our basic isolation. my reading of american history is the contrary. the united states has never been isolationism. >> i want to go back to 1995. a man you will be familiar with talking about why he dedicated his book to a couple people you know. let's run this. >> bob and fred are my two sons. bob is the older. he is a very interesting fellow who went to yale. then he went to the school of government at harvard. then he went into the government. he put in years working mostly in the state department. >> a political job? >> yes. for president reagan. he has taught me so very much that i would never have known otherwise. as a practitioner in the world of international relations, foreign affairs, he has brought the real world home to me. he taught me an amazing amount. i wanted to express my gratitude. >> is it fair to say that the kagan's write a lot about war? if so, why

only these, i believe, can hold the modern american state in balance with human values and as well as in foreign adventures and trade. the reagan administration's concept of a family impact statement frail, frail approximation. the proper role to the played by such a shared national identity. but it did not go far enough. what language about family and community might be fit for 21st century americans? these qualities at least. affirmation of the family is the natural and irreplaceable human community. one defined as a man and woman living in marriage for the purposes of propagating and rearing children, sharing int macy and resources and conserving lineage, property and tradition. recognition that men and women should be equal in legal, political and property rights, but are different in reproductive, economic and social functions. differences ought to be accommodated in policy and law. encouragement for the industrialization and return of vital functions to the family circle, with home schooling as the most practical and successful recent motto. respect for the ancient and still mos

the historical status quo was the american state and the federal government offered catholic church largeo its good works of drug rehabilitation, providing health care, education. in light of its teachings. if you don't like that, there are other institutions that did it a different way. that was the status quo. these conscientious things were protected with the plan of 1993. obama was on the initiative. he was changing the rules. the republicans were on the defensive saying we're going to defend the way things have always been. you can do that without insulting anybody. and it is an example of how although people talk about limbaugh as a republican spokesman, he has his own agenda. it is not good for him if the republicans win in 2012. his business has been better since 2008. >> better in the opposition. >> way better. >> he has put this front and center now in our politics. of course what happens every candidate gets asked about it. scott brown sends out a tweet. wolf blitzer asked rick santorum, he said this. >> being absurd. an entertainer can be absurd. he's taking the ash suffered s

the purple -- the first reddish bar is the united states' average and the purple bar is the 2,200 is the average african-american incarceration rate and the top bar, almost 4,000, the african-american incarceration in the top ten states. now the united states rate at over 700 per 100,000 is not only the highest in the world, but it's also above that which a few research centers show is counter productive. any rate over 350 per 100,000 gives you diminishing returns and anything over 500 becomes counterproductive. you can see how far off base we are. other statistics indicate the pipeline is expensive. the cost for prisons have gone from $9 billion in 1982 to over $65 billion this year and the rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than the rate of increase for higher education. now evidence is clear that if we want to reduce crime, we need to invest in research-based programs for at-risk youth. programs such as teen pregnancy prevention, prenatal care, nurse home visits, head start, and other early childhood education programs, quality education, after school programs, summer recreation and jobs,
