this guy took power 22 years ago in the nation of gambia, the gambia. nobody quite new how long he was going to stay on as president in that country once he took over 22 years ago in a coupe but he proclaimed in partnership with god his plan was that he would be the president of gambia for one billion years. that's how long he said he would be president. take that, fdr. well, early last month on december 1 his time in power was ended. roughly one billion years early if we're rounding to the nearest billion because on december 1, last month, he lost the presidential election in his country after 22 years in power. part of the reason we know he lost that election is that he conceded defeat on live national television the night of the election he said "you won, it was all on tv." very quickly. a few days later he changed his mind and said despite the election results he's decided he's going to stay on as president. he made a public statement that actually it turns out he remembered only god can deny him victory so so he's not going to go. yesterday he decl

security is strengthened when we're at the table at the united nations and the united nations more effective when american leadership and values are on display. in a time where the world is in turmoil, it is the interest of the american people from the united states to support and maintain cultural alliances and institutions that create stability, more important today than ever before. we already have seen that instability and unrest bringing crisis to our own doors. in the 20th century, europe has been divided by wars and rivalries. today, europe faces its challenges but the progress in creating a stable and free europe with such institutions as nato, the eu, the organization for security and cooperation in europe has contributed to european peace, stability and prosperity and to the american strength, well-being and leadership in the world as well. the vitality and endurance of these institutions serve the interests of the united states. so let me just mention one last point. i was particularly disturbed by president-elect trump's comments over the weekend about nato, as bei

what we do know is that this doesn't make the nation safer. national security experts recognize that it does exactly the opposite. by signing this executive order, the president has betrayed the most fundamental values and principles antagonizing 1.6 billion citizens in the world and has given our enemies, given our enemies ammunition for their thoughts and narrative that america is at war with islam. because that is exactly what they've used to recruit. that is what they do to increase import fuel on the fire to persuade people to attackally america. they basically handed to them this argument, this false narrative and put the nation at risk. what we have done now is probably because less safe today than we were friday morning before this happened because we are now living the worst is narrative possible that there is undying anisunderlying entity bm and the west. i share the view.uo it sends a message to the community they are facingss discrimination in isolation. and that message will feed the narrative that the united states is at war with

i think the governor talked about that. our nation is craving leadership and collaboration and working together in order to propel us and the 50 states and our nation forward. this is our moment to come together to protect our union and promote the general welfare of these citizens of these united states. ladies and gentlemen, it truly is a privilege to serve as the vice chair of the national governors association. i appreciate your attendance today. i know that you come from many different places, with regard to the media and administration, and your respective interests. i know that i speak for the governor when i tell all of you that we truly do mean it when we talk about collaboration and flexibility and working together. i do believe that the national governors association will be the go-two entity, and all of us as the governors of this amazing country look forward to doing that. and making this continue to be the greatest nation on earth. thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

suffered from the national security advisor himself. perhaps, the best example of strategic planning coming out of this process we have been discussing was henry kissinger and the opening to china and all the rest and that was basically out of kissinger and nixon's head. so, we will see whether this national security advisor has that capacity. but, i don't think it's generated upward to any significance extent by the nsc staff. >> when henry kissinger was national security adviser he'd invited a political scientist named bob osgood to join his staff basically to do long-term planning. he treated osgood unlike a lot of his other staff, as with the utmost respect and difference and osgood-- i remember interviewing him and, i mean,-- and i think the reason is really a process that is overheard to come. issues-- the national security advisor gets his or her leverage from the day to day issues, managing them for the president and these are urgent and if you have a president who is deeply involved in foreign policy as most, not all have been,

that's not what the nations policy is about. then we know how to make investments in now to support these long lead investments going forward. >> let me jump into there. the first thing i should point out from the perspective of the labs, we work for the federal government and, therefore, the federal government suggests, sets the agenda and we deliver on that. but you should understand that the balance between sustainability and manufacturing has actually tilted over the past few years. i would argue that what's actually happening and parts of the market now particularly about electoral storage with electrical vehicles is that fat fast moving into a situation where people choose this because i want one. because they want one of those, then the technology needs to be there. so it isn't just i think driven by regulation or a view of the market. another point to come back in sort of a historical public-private partnership goes all the way back to the founding of argonne. in 1946 argonne was founded to produce nuclear power, to creat

in addition, many of the challenges. it's a national industries and jobs rendered obsolete by the isolation. they are ones we also face here in the. so let me say from the outset it is in our interest to try to solve problems with russia. the dialogue between us is absolutely imperative. having said that, anyone knows that i and my government had serious concerns about the aggressive and destabilizing actions. the argument i want to make goew beyond any particular action that russia has taken this broad strategy and what that means for the security of the united states and the american people. today i will set out how the government under president putin is taking steps that are weakening the order that we have benefited from for decades. our values, securities, prosperity and our very way of life are tied to this order. anv and we, the united states and our closest partners must come together to prevent russia from succeeding in weakening that order. this means better understanding and educating the public about how russia is challengi

audience with regard to model the national security advisor -- i worked for him and let me just say how did brent do the job? first of all, the national security adviser has to have a close relationship with the president and has to have a temperament that is congenial to the president. he he doesn't necessarily have to know the president when he takes his position with national security advisor, henry kissinger had one five-minute meeting with richard nixon at a cocktail party before he was offered the job. but he certainly, over over time has to have that relationship. seconds and we will assume he has to be very smart. second, it is a big management job. get in before their president decisions he needs to make and then being sure the decision he makes are implemented is a big management job. some of the nfc advisers who have not done all that will have it because they concentrated on their vice to the president at the expense of the management role. third, and this might be the most important, he has to have a temperament,

if we will unite and focus, utah can be at the top of the nation in student achievement. and we have already come quite some distance. since 2009, utah's high school graduation rate has climbed from 75 to 85 percent, the 4th largest such increase in the nation. in the most recent national assessment of educational progress -- known as the nation's report card -- utah's fourth graders ranked 8th in the nation in math, 7th in reading and 5th in science. and utah's eighth graders ranked 8th in math, 6th in reading and were ranked 1st in the nation in science. thanks to the dedication and hard work of utah's teachers, parents and students we can confidently say that utah is getting a superior return on its investment in education. i am gratified by our progress, but we still have work to do. our strong aggregate statistics mask the challenges faced by some of our students. but i remain hopeful because i know of utah's innovative and can-do spirit. therefore, i truly believe that utah can be number one in the nation on meaningful, measurable milestones of student achievement. i

he has been very generous to the national archives. he bought ross perot's copy of the 1297 magna carta. just months before i arrived on the scene, he was the first person to welcome me to washington. his office is close by. he graduated from duke university, where i was the librarian. he checked with the president to make sure that i was a credible person to be taking care of his magna carta. he has been incredibly supportive ever since. but never pressure in terms of how we displayed more making decisions for us. susan: what has a simple donor like that made to the smithsonian? >> final talk about the more general case. my colleagues can agree that philanthropic fundraising is a bit of a dance. you bring together someone with , and a passion for something or other. you try to match that up with a priority that the institution has. one thing about david rubenstein is that he has a broad range of things he is interested in. he is very interested in history. not only historical documents, but he is a voracious reader of history. he knows

that was the "national enquirer's" election eve special. that's what they put in supermarke across the country as people are going to vote. you get a sense of how they tweeted clinton. but it was also at the same time this. did you know donald trump did release his tax returns? he did because the "national enquirer" has them. the documents america has been waiting to see. you might have heard that donald trump didn't release his tax returns but that's just a hillary ugly smear campaign that has now fallen apart because the "national enquirer" is publishing his tax returns. and incidentally he really is worth $10 billion. donald trump tax returns, the "national enquirer's" world exclusives. supermarket tabloids being weird or outrageous or fantastically false is, you know, it's like reporting the sun rises in the east. i know. >> but with the "national enquirer" specifically, there's something going on here, right? i mean, all that stuff that i just showed you was leading up to the election. right up through election eve. since the election i

in the rotunda of the national archives. it was shut down for a year or two, and new work was done to protect the documents and encase them in a certain way. but you point out that a million people a year go and look at it. but as i think about that and think about the north carolina story for the bill of rights, it seems to me at least it's worth discussing and thinking about, and that is this. .. hours are by the public and i think it is debatable that this public veneration of the documents didn't come about until after world war ii but it carries so you might disagree with me and i might lose the argument but i would argue south carolina wanted the bill of rights in the first half of the 20th century they would have fought for it. it was after world war ii, even the cold war had something to do with it when we began to think these documents deserve or are merited the veneration we give them. what do you think of that? what is your reaction to that? >> has anyone been to the national archives and seen the way those documen

someone writes what is the difference between the library of congress and the national archive. we been referring to this. the library of congress was established early in our republic, and it is a library that in modern times, throughout the 20th century, the copyright law specified that everything published, everything that's copyright, library of congress got two copies. so it's a library and the true sense of being a library, in everything published or every other things from other works, but also manuscripts. they have all the manuscripts of the founding fathers, most all of them. there's a trend away from that but they have manuscripts of american history, and it's just an amazing institution. the national archives was established to take government records, equally important to our government and our culture and those that need to be preserved forever. >> i think the other thing i would add is that the library of congress, one of the reasons that it wasn't moved, there was almost a 20 year gap is that there was a tremendous turf battle between the library of congress and t

the d.c. national guard is represented here as well as the fire chief gregory dean. i am thankful as well to the federal partners who have joined us, and you will hear from the special agent in charge of the washington dc office for the asted states secret service, well as police representatives and representatives from the federal emergency management agency, or fema. them for theall of work that they have been doing in preparation for the inauguration. course in washington dc we are the capital of the united states of america, and the seat of our federal government. over year -- over the years our federal government works to keep save during the peaceful transition of power. since april my administration has been working closely with local and regional and private sector partners to ensure the seamless oversight. and the management of this event and the security event. media, we arethe so grateful to see so many of at local and international outlets. a key role in helping residents and business owner

i'm joined by the national communications director. re you making this complaint filing this complaint? >> well, we're making the complaint based on constitutional grounds. we believe it is a violation of the establishment clause of the constitution that says you can't favor one religion over another. you can't discriminate against people based on their religion. it will be based on that because taken in its entirety, it's clear that this is a muslim ban. more than a year ago then candidate trump said he wanted to ban all muslims from entering the united states and nothing he said since that time would indicate that he's changed his mind. in fact, we believe the author of this latest iteration of the muslim ban is this white supremacist steve bannon who is on the national security council. it is disturbing we would violate the constitution by singling out people based on their faith. the president said it himself within the last couple days. he said syrians and others who are christians will come in. syrians who are muslims will not com

the nation unified yet. some historians don't argue there's not a nation until feeling a common national feeling. so, we historians like to make the smooth places rough. so, here's an example. right. of you know, how do you sort that out. when you're asking this question was america founded as a christian nation. two more points then i'll stop on. after everything i've just said, let me now assert to you point four, that the founders were champions to a man, champions of religious freedom. in other words, every founding father defends the right of human beings to worship god in the way they saw fit or not worship god at all. so, here we have the 1786 virginia statute of religious liberty, which many could perceive to be one of the greatest statement on religious liberty ever made, ever written, written by thomas jefferson. we just talked about the context of that statement. 1790. george washington, the new president writes a letter to the jewish congregation in newport, rhode island. the oldest synagogue, in

audience would regard the model for national security advisor as scowcroft. and i worked for brent and let me say how did brent do the job? well, first of all the national security advisor obviously has to have a close relationship with the president. has to have a temperment that is congenial to the president. he doesn't necessarily by the way, have to know the president when he takes his position as national security advisor. curiously henry kissinger had one--minute meeting with richard nixon at a cocktail party before he was offered the job. so, but he certainly over time has to have that relationship. second we assume you have to be very smart, but second, it is a big management job because getting getting before the president he needs to make and making sure the decisions he makes are implemented is a big management job and some of the nsc advisors who haven't done all well haven't, because they concentrated on their substantive advice to the president at the expense of their management role. and third, and this may even be the most important

i neglected to mention the d.c. national guard is also -- will also be deployed in downtown washington and will lead a group of gaurtsmen and women from 42 states and have 5,000 guardsmen in downtown washington that help us with the perimeter. >> is that new? >> no, i just neglected to mention it. where's my park police officer? thank you. >> no problem. deputy chief bucs with the united states park service. at this point, that's still an ongoing investigation, but right now we have no reason to believe it has any nexus to terrorism or linkage to the inaugural events. thank you. >> [ inaudible ]. >> there's a microphone. >> i just want to know how many security people or law enforcement people will be involved in overall inauguration day? >> sure. as i mentioned as in all of the inaugurations we put out a call early in the year for police officers to augment the d.c. police force and we expect an additional 3,000 police officers. and we will also have the assistance of the national guard and we expect 5,000 guardsmen to help

ambassador of the united nations need. you can learn the details but you have ability to persuade people, ability to transform organization or you don't. i have seen her persuade people who have dug in for sen tris. now is the time to move the confederate flag. i seen her bring international concerns to our state by engaging in a fashion to convince them that all of the place you could do business in the world, south carolina is where you need to be. bottom line, america's voice in the united nations need to be strong, and needs to be somebody what can be bring people together, it needs to be a voice that understands what america is all about. i think nikki haley, our governor in south carolina is the right person at the right time. she represents a combination of intellect, determination and brace and understanding of the america that the world needs to hear. if she is ambassador for our country, the united would be bett better off and our country would be in good hands. >> thank you, so much. senator scott who is brief am

and the national welfare of the future.ood judgment seeks progress, and lack of it finds imbalance and frustration. the record of many decades proves that the people and their government have remain and understood these truths and responded to them well in the face of threat and stress. but threats, new in kind or degree, constantly arise. of these i mention. and for us to keep the peace, our arms must be mighty and ready for instant action so no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. the military organization today bears little relation of that known to my of any predecessors in peacetime or to the fighting men of world war ii or korea. until the latest of our world conflicts the united states has no armaments industry. american makerers of plow sharers could with time and as are required make stwords as well. but we can no longer risk emergency provization and armaments of vast proportions. how to do this? 3.5 million men and women are engaged in the defense establishment. we annually spend on mil
