congress and asked for this to be designated as the national museum. because of the scope of the collection, the significance and amongst other museums in the world, congress designated in 2004 the museum as the national museum. and then in 2014 the congress again in a bicameral bipartisan bill named the memorial as the national memorial for effectively carrying both congressional designations as the national museum and national memorial. it is quite a fitting tribute for a citizen initiated museum and memorial to honor those who served in world war i and marked a turning point of the nation and the impact that it had in the united states, the founding cou catastrophes of the 20th century, that moment that launched the american century captured then here in this museum and memorial with national designation. so now let's go on up to the memorial and talk about some of the architectural features of this extraordinary landmark. behind us is this extraordinary memorial tower dedicated in 1926, but the foundation stones laid in 1921 when vice president calv

that's the problem with the national ocean policy. again, i would encourage the supporters of this, and who knows, i might be one of them, to bring it to congress. let's debate it. let's have a good healthy debate on this floor. go through the committee process. go through the regular order. and then it's something that we might be able to support in the appropriations process. other than that, i would urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment -- ms. pingree: mr. chair. the chair: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from ohio seek recognition? ms. kaptur: mr. chair, i rise as the designee of ranking member lowey to strike the last word. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized for five minutes. ms. kaptur: yes. i rise in support of the gentlewoman's amendment to support the growth of vibrant coastal economies and creation of fisheries and agriculture -- aqua culture jobs. the national ocean policy is helping agencies and states col

the national road also has many different names. we can get a lot of different meanings from these names. in the late 19th century, there is a historian named jacob brown from maryland who notes that technically it was called the cumberland road, but popularly it was known as the national road. the cumberland road is a sort of the official name in government documents, it makes sense, it starts in cumberland, maryland. that is really the only point they had figured out at that point when they started tilting the road, so it makes since it has been name. but that is really the only place you see it in used, within government documents or call for contracts to build the road. you start seeing national road teams ind early on by many places as the popular name for the road. other than it being federally funded, it means people among are connected -- people along it are connected to the nation at large. they can be coming up into this national identity, they are participating in nationbuilding. other names. united states road, depending

the social capital. upon which one bases a national idea. to have common glories in the past and have a common will in the present. to perform great deeds together to wish to perform still more these are the essential conditions for being a people. a nation is therefore large scale solidarity, constituted by the feeling of the sacrifice. that one has made in the past. and of those that one is prepared to make in the future." interesting. sacrifices of the past by one self and others is so centrally important. the ballast of the past is similarly indispensable to the sense of american natural identity. it forms a strain in our patriotism that is far less articulate than the strength burns identifies. it conflicts with assertions of american universalism to some extent. it's intellectual base is less well defined. it is a very particular force. our nation's particular triumphs and sacrifices and suffering, and the memories of those draw and hold us together because they are the sacrifices and suffering, not of all humanity, but of us. one may h

because of the curfew, the michigan state police arriving and then the national guard arriving, some of those people were arrested on curfew violations for trying to protect stores and others refused to get off the street so they did not get in the crossfire of the national guard or michigan state police. and then a lot of the fires and looting began, but it was initially because of the discontent that african-americans had with a lot particularly the police brutality, and that is how it all began. this neighborhood, 12th street neighborhood, was full of businesses. all of the green space you see around here now would have been filled with restaurants, stores, shops -- all the things a neighborhood would need to be a true neighborhood, a true community. those things are just about gone now and they have been gone for the most part since 1967. >> can you tell us the story of black jesus? >> on the morning of the second day of the uprising, also known as the riot or rebellion -- i generally use the term rebellion -- joe nelson, a house painter who had been driving past their -- there ev

we have dramatic photography that shows the state of affairs and nationally. this photograph in particular is very poignant. this is a photograph of new york's central park in in the 1932. foreground, you see a shantytown, one of many that have sprouted up around the nation. many of them are nicknamed hoovervilles. they are in the shadow of the metropolitan museum of arts. this is a reminder of the scale of human suffering in the year 1932 when franklin roosevelt is running for president. the 1932 democratic convention was held in chicago. when roosevelt was nominated, he received word of the nomination in albany. and then he did something unprecedented in american politics and quite dramatic. he flew out to the convention to accept the nomination in person. up to that point, when an american presidential candidate received the nomination of their party, they would receive a delegation formally at their home or at a political site in their home state. they did not go to the convention or deliver a speech. roosevelt broke with that convention in a dramatic way.

going to the nationals game at 11:00. d be just fine much this will be more like later this afternoon there we are at 6:00 o'clock tonight. starting to pop notice the scattered nature of the storm. just not quiet shore exactly where they'll set up. but i can guarantee that we of the makings inn ingredients of showers and storms in the forecast this afternoon. there we are at 11:00 o'clock tonight. keep the threat of a few showers around right through fireworks time. again much of the area won't get much of anything here. but enough of a threat want to let you know about it. then we'll do it again tomorroww really no friday. before we can get a front through here on friday that will give us a drier weekend next couple days very humid. let me mention the humidity as well. high temps 99 with storms. erin has arrived and then uncle sam will be joining us shortly. >> kevin mccarthy looking good. i called down to please take a photo with me kevin. looking good today.ve he can brg all morning long. fatal crash train collided with

reconstruction being brought back into the nation. if we blow this up a little -- i'm sorry -- we can see it is by racial everett. both blacks and whites are reconstructing the southern nation. he is imagining this in 67. the nation needs a freedmen's bureau. this is the freedmen's bureau, which will help africans americans -- african-americans one state. of that congress had passed the 14th needednt, even though it to be ratified and that leads to civil rights and civil rights, education is so crucial in the schoolyard. african-americans, children, and white together. that is the image of civil rights. it is more than civil rights. universal suffrage. not only male suffrage. it's also women's suffrage. this is what reconstruction was going to bring about. and as i said, it was endorsed by all of the great people, about 200 of them in the nation, all interesting this. this is the figure of peace. figure of peace, of jesus. you can see the figures closest again -- lincoln, washington, andrew jackson. there is madison and john adams. in

the article is titled "the national enquirer's fervor for trump." jeff, we could spend the next two hours talking about your article about the national enquirer, which the timing could not be more kind of amazing. it's fascinating on multiple levels. just explain the relationship between president trump and the publication. >> david pecker is the chief executive of american media, the parent company of "the national enquirer." and pecker and trump have been very close friends for decades, going back to when pecker ran a sort of a publication for trump called "trump style." and in a very open way, pecker told me when i was reporting my story that he believes "the national enquirer" is going to support trump because trump is a close friend of his, and because he thinks that's what his readers want. >> the fact that it's now merged as a flashpoint between trump and mika brzezinski and joe scarborough, does that surprise you? >> well, everything surprises me, anderson. but it does not surprise me that when "the national enquirer" was getting ready to wri

that represented the 40 nations in the united nations coalition fighting the axis powers. this represents of the idea of what becomes the u.n. general assembly. in the center is executive committee. this is really the full-time staff of what will become the united nations. the secretariat -- and the last circle, which is marked four police is roosevelt's conception , of what became the security council of the united nations. the four police that roosevelt had in mind were the united states, great britain, the soviet union, and the fourth country was going to be china, which he felt was an up-and-coming power and deserving of being among the four policeman, or the security council of the united nations. so, they are in rod strokes, the ideas that he is kicking in his mind for this postwar organization. i think it is very telling that roosevelt is thinking so far ahead. this is 1943 and the war is far from over, but he is our -- already thinking about the horizon and what comes after the war. in 1944, in the midst of world war ii, fdr runs for an unprecedented fourth term as

people come from all over the nation and really all over the world to be here. and not too longing a there were thousands upon thousands of people out here, but as is the casey think every year as soon as the fireworks are over people are getting out of here quickly. i literally saw people running across the run as the finally was going on. maybe i saw a few people rushing to get home. there were obviously a lot more people here not so long ago. a great fireworks show. we'll give you a look everything really went perfectly this year. if you remember, last year it was a lot more rainy and cloudy, so it was kind tough to see the fireworks at some points, but tonight we definitely got a much better show, nice clear skies. even though the weather was questionable at some points we did see a bit of rain today, there was even a tiny drizzle as the fireworks were ending, but over all the weather cooperated thankfully. tonight, also the annual capital fourth concert. we'll show you some of that. early in the morning we'll be starting out. our next performers, the beach

the fact that it has rejected international cooperation, with -- nations finding the paris signing the paris agreements, with 153 benefit case in's sends a negative message to many other nations. while these decisions give theory,o the isolation or the view that it is waning, i do not subscribe to other. the relative economic and military power of the united states and other powers have shifted in recent years. the fact is, the united states remains the dominant world power on virtually all measures. senioriscussions with members of the trump administration, it is clear that they are well aware of the importance of continuing economic growth in this region to the world economy at large. peace and prosperity, and a system of international rules by which both can be maintained. our intention is to prosper. this is clearly in the national interest of the united states. much of the economic growth in our region is driven by the united states as an engine of innovation. a provider of the main reserve currency, and with the deepest .f financial markets such dominance will not be challenged,

that was a year of tremendous crisis for the nation and the world. the country was in the third year of the great depression. in 1929, the depression began and unemployment in the u.s. was at three point 2%. at the time he was running for president in 1932, it is almost 25%. of the election in 1932 was a nation in a state of disarray and fear. this gallery really point that out. we have dramatic photography that shows the state of affairs and nationally. this photograph in particular is very poignant. this is of central park. in the foreground, you see a shantytown, one of many that have sprouted up around the country. many of them are nicknamed over towns. this particular one -- ho over towns. they are in the shadow of the metropolitan museum of arts. this is a reminder of the scale of human suffering in the year 1932 when franklin roosevelt is running for president. the 1932 democratic convention was held in chicago. when roosevelt was nominated, he received word of the nomination in albany. he did something unprecedented in american politics and q

the national guard and cybercommand can work together. he stressed to you will of a us governors that we are at the forefront. he cannot do his job as head of the national security agency if we in the states are no doing our part. we held a joint governor/senator meeting on cybersecurity priorities and challenges of the united states congress. we had great group of governors to meet, governor sand value and i met with the leadership of the house and senate. we have implored the congress to have a cybersecurity committee. one does not exist today in the congress. it is spread among many different committees. and there is jurisdictional territories where people have not wanted to give up some of the jurisdiction. we once again as governors tall are call upon the congress to put together a national can committee to deal with the issue and put punning in so we can do our jobs. lastly we put together 18 documents that highlighted the recommendations and best practices of the national guard, cybersecurity response plans and workforce development

battles over the peculiar institution and its place in the american nation. from the missouri crisis of 19 -- 1819 to the dred scott issues, from lincoln to the essential rights of the enslaved, during the same -- during the same lincoln douglas debates, to the idea that the confederate nation was founded on the belief of inherent black inferiority, the elements of a seven decades long divisive battle over slavery and race in america first emerged in the house of representatives at the inaugural meeting of congress. thank you. >> [applause] >> what was at stake? the petition was not a bill that could have accomplished anything. prof. polgar: these were resolutions. these resolutions expressed the feelings of one congress interpreting the constitution at one given moment in time. having said that, the constitution says that the slave trade cannot be ended before 1808 but does give congress the power to regulate the slave trade. in fact there was a bill passed a few years later regulating the slave trade. taxes could be applied to foreign slaves. there was that

the united nations has also become too reliant on one player on one major funder. on one major funding just because that is what we call assist contributions which amongst all the members do you know according to an accepted scheme of assessment but for me every contributor is important and i think our budgets sort of dropped by the general assembly in which only the countries are indeed represented i come every second year to a better because they believe that russian federation and the permanent member of the security company have the really critical role to play in shipping of the member and it very quickly ruled to play as the final ensued of the opposition. and finally a very important role to play into a bigger. and a drug when it comes to. the general assembly home absolutely but i think. the russian suspicion and perhaps also the chinese suspicion would be that this is devised that this coming from this capitals is not always deemed as valuable as the advice coming for example from washington a western capitals and. one thing that i think many observers note
