at the same time, he would reflect on the nation's mood. in the country a growing restlessness. although more was being done n at anypeople that had any time in history, questioning voices were being heard. this was, too, part of the state of the union and must be part of the message. perhaps at the core of it. it was time to return to washington. ♪ it was january 15, and in two days, the president would deliver the message. until the very moment he stepped into the house chamber, he would continue to double-check the facts and figures, personally write and rewrite the carefully constructed passages until a precise meaning was unmistakably clear. it would take him less than one hour to deliver the address, but its preparation had taken almost a year. the state of the union message is far more than a speech. beyond the pages of typing, beyond the hundreds of yards of teleprompter copy lies the presidential program, a target for the nation to aim for, a series of human goals, each designed to make life better for everyone. and in so doing, st

if you think about the navy the nation needs, an ellipsis at the end, dot dot, the nation needs to full full the maritime responsibility in the defense strategy. so we have one strategy for the department, the mds and this can be seen as part of the maritime component of that strategy. so we're using the tagline the nation the navy needs. so as i said, we'll get through a quick discussion of the security environment and then we'll get to questions. so i thought i would throw up a couple of charts. i don't want to get too heavy in the charts. the room looked bigger in the pictures. if you look at the map of the world. this isn't an uncommon format for that depiction. so you see, you know, a lot of geography. most of the political maps that you see are maps that focus on the land part of the globe. and so you've got both the political and geographic things represented here. cities, towns, roads, those sorts of features. not as uncommon as i said. and this blue stuff connects it. this is kind of how i see t. i start with the blue. in fact that's not that, that's just the template i see it.

he did offer it to the national government in 1970, and they were not interested. and so he sold the property, and sold eleanor roosevelt's furniture at public auction. it was in 1975 that a grass roots movement here in hyde park started the movement to save val kill and make it into a national historic site. eleanor roosevelt's story is not just the story of a first lady, but it is a woman activist who really devoted her life to improving the world. she had always hoped that there would be world peace one day, and she is an inspiration to the women, and woman of great courage who spoke out against issues that really needed to be addressed like civil rights. and she made a difference in the wor world, and she was incredible role model for women even today. she was a woman who was way ahead of her time. and she was a woman who was very important to the 20th century, but the ideas in the 21st century still ring loud today. >>> coming up today on c-span3's american history tv. next, efforts to save slave house, and then we will take you to the harriet tubman undergroun

however, both the president's national security strategy and the department's national failed to noteylimate change as a threats. i am perplexed by that and, certainly ask why was that omitted, but as these changes occur, how will you ensure the department is prepared to respond. what steps will the department take to mitigate the challenges to ensure america's emission resiliency? sec. mattis: on a military level, every base we have has what we call extreme weather plans. we acknowledge any type of environmental impacts from the weather. whether it be drainage systems or whatever we need to keep the base operating. airfield, seaport, marshall in -- marshaling bases for deployment. this is a normal part of what the military does. under any strategy, it is part and parcel. >> i find it perplexing that it was left out of the national defense strategy. general silva, let me turn to part of your testimony. you say nuclear weapons boast the only existential military threat to our nation. i would add cyber weapons as also posing and existential and asymmetric threat to our nation as well. in

we want money to defend the nation. we believe general mattis made a case to the public that we need more money to defend the nation against things like the threats from the north koreans. we were hoping that we could sit down figure out way to get additional funds to the military to respond to these threats. publicly democrats said they wanted to fund defense department. privately what they said they would not give us single additional dollar for defense. >> garrett: you knew they were going to say that. >> publicly they were thought saying that. they wanted to defend the nation. they say democrats care as much about defense as republicans do. but when rubber meets the road they don't. they held the defense department hostage and we had to pay that ransom. >> garrett: congressman mulvaney, we vote for this? >> i'm much closer to mr. meadows who you're going to have on the show in a little bit when i was member of congress. my job as director of the office of management and budget to try to get the president's agenda pas

that is why the national popular vote interstate compact is the best way to a jv i national popular vote. >> let's be clear. you werethe case talking about, reviewing what michigan did. the court said, there is no constitutional issue that has been raised about the implication of way the allegations happen. the court has repeatedly since then said, even though ours complete plenary power, it is .ubject to constitutional >> there will be great arguments made. i look forward to watching it. >> last question. information and correct but it is set up in aner to safeguard against elected president from not working in the best interest of the country. someone who is either inept or corrupt, they certainly fail this time around. it seems to me it is not the function that is the problem, but the execution of the college. somewhere along the line, perhaps because of state corruption or self interest, the function became bastardized. value in trying to hold onto it? always made the people know what is best for the country. choice you think of rank voting? >> those are two completely separate topic

here, you can see uncle sam representing the nation. ands announcing the results saying to the house, it's about time to measure yourselves again . interestingly, the house never reorganize itself after the 14th census. areas representing rural were concerned about migration to urban areas. congress later passed a law that established how the house seats would be apportioned. cartoonsalso drew many that related to global issues and talked about america's place in the world. called open for business was published the day the pana mocon out first opened for business on august 15 in 1914 -- panama canal first opened for business on august 15, 1914. you can see the president welcoming ships into the canal. and again, the teddy bear welcoming people. the panama canal opened during the first weeks of world war i. the administration declared the can now would remain neutral and be open to all european nations -- the canal would remain neutral and be open to all european nations. this cartoon was published in the years leading up to world war ii

the nation needs to fulfill the maritime responsibilities in the national defense strategy. so we have one strategy for the department, that is the mds, and this could be seen almost as part of the maritime component of that strategy. so we're using the tag line, the nation the navy needs. so, as i said we'll get through a quick discussion of the security environment and then get to questions. so i thought i would throw up a couple of charts. don't want to get too heavy into the charts. this really looks a lot bigger on the pictures so an intimate setting. don't feel too bad on a couple of charts. if you look at a map of the world, this is an uncommon format for that depiction and you see a lot of geography, right? most of the political map you see are maps that focus on the land part of the globe, so you've got both the political and geographic things represented here. cities, towns, roads, those sort of featured. and then there's this blue stuff that connects it, and this is kind of how i see it. so i start with the blue. in fact, it's not that. that's just the template whi

the national constitution center this cohostitute of a day minute event. greg's we are presenting this town hall. this town hall is the first --nt of a three-year project a library outreach project in which we will present programs that invite the community to talk about the founding era and how it might resonate for programs and issues people are talking about today. the project is founded by the national endowment for the humanities, the largest grant awarded in the last year for which we are eternally grateful. i thought i would tell you a few words about the institute and what we do and how we came to do this project. the gilder lehrman institute is rather young. it was founded in 1994. the mission is to promote the knowledge and understanding of american history through programs and resources. at the present time, we have 65,000 documents in the gilder lehrman collection which is the core of our programming. the collection is drawn upon to do programs, outreach, to contribute to a website visited by 7 million people, and also to support a network of 65

is he really protecting the national s and? if we screen a whole country which has newman house you'rist groups, do we have to justify members of the groups who raise their hand and say i'm a member? i mean, these are judgments of the executive exercising sovereign power vis-a-vis other countries and they're not the subject of court review as we're seeming to want to conduct and you seem to want to conduct. seems to me if on its face there's logic co herein -- coherency -- -- based on identified data that some muslim countries are subject to rieckss and some not -- snowsways not and it's almost all muslim and it's huge in terms of population. the suggestion has a background noise that is driving your argument and that background noise is? subjective views of the president expressed during the campaign. >> but, your honor, there are two potentials i would make in response. in fact, though the president does have great power in matter-of-national security and immigration, he is subject to the constraints that congress has put on h

because of this commitment, israel was accepted at the united nations. these resolutions have yet to be implemented. and 194. israel is acting like a state above the law. it has transformed into a situation of colonization. territories in 1967. it was supposed to be temporary. it became permanent. it occupied all the areas it will take, including jerusalem. how can this happen? door here,t shut the we must reaffirm that our problem is not with the followers of judaism. judaism is a monotheistic -- as is as our christianity. those denying our independence and freedom. they disregard our religion. we met with the president of the united states, mr. donald trump, four times in 2017. absolutexpressed our readiness to reach a historic peace agreement. we repeatedly reaffirmed. this administration has not clarified its position. in a dangerous, precedented manner, this administration -- on president to manner -- to remove the issue of jerusalem. without any reason. it decided to recognize the city of israel and to transfer its embassy to the city of jerusalem.

that's why the national popular vote interstate compact is the best way to achieve a national popular vote for president. if you want your vote in south dakota to matter as much as a vote in ft. lauderdale, florida. >> let's be clear about something. that was the case he was talking about, the blacker case that was reviewing what michigan had done. and in that case, the court explicitly said there is no constitutional issue that's been raised about the implication of the way the allocation has happened and the court has repeatedly said since then, the plenary power is subject to constitutional restrictions. >> i think there's going to be great arguments made for sure. i look forward to watching it. >> this is the last question. sadly. >> i may have my information incorrect, but it's my understanding that the electoral college was set up in order to safeguard against an elected president from not working in the best interest of the country, someone who was either inept or corrupt. they certainly failed this time around. however, it seems to me that it's not the function that's the prob

as a gloroup we decided is the national popular vote. it's the best solution and most achievable solution at this time. you know, the problems that people are ignored during campaigns and as pat said that extends to policy outcomes after the election. we think one of the best ways to demonstrate the problem is to think about how things would be different under a national popular vote. think of a policy that is of interest to you. and a majority of the country thinks needs to billion acted on and isn't going anywhere now. how that would be resolved more productively with presidential leadership on that issue. we've come up with three general examples. first, with presidential leadership, you would see a nationwide focus on infrastructure. the government would fix roads and bridges and dams everywhere. and repair the damage from hurricanes and floods and fires all over the country and it wouldn't just focus on battleground states, which is what tends to happen now. second, you would see a national focus on health care. the government would

the united nations for a third day diplomats worked frantically to get a resolution for a cease fire on syria ambassador he got an agreement with the russians now. today we're going to see if russia has a conscience the russian ambassador conferred with his syrian counterpart who's government has continued without rest by the bombardment of eastern even as the negotiations dragged on diplomats have been working around the clock exhausted frustrated and in some cases angry most of the discussions focusing on the exact wording of one paragraph in the end they agreed to a place an immediate cease fire with one that comes into force without delay it meant they could vote it was unanimous but there didn't seem to be much unity in the chamber. every minute the council waited on russia the human suffering group getting to a vote became a moral responsibility for everyone but not for russia not for syria not for iran i have to ask why as they dragged out the negotiation the bombs from assad's fighter jets continued to fall in the three days it took us to adopt this resolution how many mothers

the sky? he wanted a national observatory and people went, what? the federal government is not supposed to do anything like that. and today the federal government does things like that. julie: just to reiterate that is why this is important, that's why it is important to study history, to understand why we got to this moment. it is not just about the greedy people who want power in government, although that is also a dimension of it. there's also a public expectation for what the federal government will provide and protect. that is a part of the story, that is why the narrative and individual voices that are brought out through this reader are so important. and like i said you cannot , understand january 10, 2018, and less you understand the larger arc of history and how we got here. nothing is preordained. and if you would like to see more power given back to the states, you, anyone here, watching at home, you have the power to organize and help see that happen. you have the tools to do it. get off your but and do it, don't just complain about it.

the peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of nations has been the victim. so, likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. it leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained and by exciting jealousy, ill will, and a disposition to retaliate in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld; and it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country without odium, sometimes even with popularity, gilding with the appearances of a virtuou

he said, america is the greatest nation on earth, the greatest nation that has ever been. he said, whenever there is war on the planet, the nation that wins takes land from the nation that loses, because land is the source of value on our planet. he said, one nation in history has laid down the lives of hundreds of thousands of its sons and daughters and taken no land. the only land america has ever taken is enough land to bury our dead. america is a great nation because it is strong and it is good. russia may be strong, russia under putin is not good, and will not have the capacity of being a great nation. we're a good nation, a great nation. utah is a good and strong and great state. i hope to be able to honor this state by being a member of the senate and represent you there and fight for the values that have made this state all that it is. thank you so much. good to be with you this evening. thank you.

the united states constitution. history proves it. every time in every nation in which this political disease rises to power, its citizens are repressed. their freedoms are destroyed. their firearms are banned and confiscated. it's all backed by the social engineering and the billions of people like george soros, michael bloomberg, tom steyer and more and gleefully promoted by those that have risen to power in the so-called national news media, and seize control of social media to spread their propaganda. they doesn't tell us news. you all know it. people know it all over the united states. they say it to me every day. they don't tell us news. they tell us what we need to think. that's the way it is these days. on college campuses, the communist manifesto is one of the most frequently assigned texts. carl marks is the most assigned economist. there are over 100 chapters of young democratic socialists of america and students are earning academic credit for promoting socialist causes. in too many classrooms all over the united states, and i know you think about t

i'm here to talk about elections security of the national security issue. i'm here to talk about things we have been doing in partnership and support of the state and local elections community to take and elevate the importance of your security of elections in the face of a national security challenge. this is something that we talked about a lot collectively over the last couple of years but let me just start with and take you backwards for a second. clearly, what we saw in the department of homeland security in the spring of 2016 what we saw working with the u.s. intelligence community, the fbi, other folks involved in national security. there was an elevated threat to your election system. in 2016 we were not fully aware of where the threat was coming from and what else was going on but we saw during that period there was an elevated threat to the election system. during the run up to the 2016 elections working with others and the intelligence community and the fbi worked hard to get out as much information as we could. that's when the partnership with th

a word from the african national congress as to the outcome of this meeting held by the national executive committee the top decision making body of the a.n.c. but we do understand based on reports from the national broadcaster the s a b c that as well as the secretary general of the a.n.c. met with jacob zuma to relay a message from the a.n.c. and according to the state broadcaster that was jacob zuma has a day or potentially to to resign as president of the country now the n.c. has been meeting throughout the day in fact so rob returned to the ne see so it would appear that the conversation they're having isn't entirely over yet jacob zuma is certainly under pressure all indications are given his behavior in the last ten days or so he is resistant he's resisting this resignation he doesn't want to step down and if that continues to be the case the a.n.c. would then have to institute proceedings for a motion of no confidence to be debated in the parliament now the opposition parties in south africa have done exactly that expected to debate a motion of no confidence next week they want to

nationalism matter? it's in part where the setting of national parks comes from. setting aside these landscapes to keep the symbolic scenery pretty and powerful and not sort of messed up the way niagara got messed up with these little shops and trinkets and so forth. interestingly, it's a little hard to see this map. the pink outline here is more or less the -- it's actually a little smaller than the current yosemite national park. the park that's labeled in green is the original reservation that was set aside, signed by lincoln in 1864. and as you can see, hopefully, from that map, all that was protected -- the original protected area was very small. it was just the valley. and literally sort of the view shed of the valley. so if you're standing on the valley floor like where i took those photographs earlier by the merced river, and you're looking up at the granite walls, the boundary of the protected area is the top of those walls. we don't care about the ecosystem, we don't care about the forest, we don't care about the overall sort of mountains and sort of larg

he needed to accuse the other side of vagueness. he needed to create a national political organization of the kind he had claimed would preclude from ever coming into existence. he believed he was doing this in his second wife because the threat that his federalist meant to the united states was nothing less than the death of the republic and the death of the constitution. that was how serious the threat had to be for him to justify breaking from his deep belief that political parties were terrible and create a vertical party that would end all political parties. it sort of did. we can come back to that. and then, in his last life, he spent 16 years running u.s. foreign policy. he was secretary of state under jefferson for eight years and he was president for eight years, and in not extraordinary 16 year period, he tried to do for foreign-policy what he had done for the constitution, that is create a unique republican version of form policy based around the question, how do you make other countries do the stuff your country wants whether you believe as an absolut

the second point is on 1152, nationality. the point of that statute, legislative history makes clear the national origins quota was not to restrict the ability of the president to determine national security policy that makes people in eligible. that is the solution and the explanation for why the cuban order wasn't invalid and the iranian order wasn't invalid. and it is not that there is a made-up emergency in the statute but the statute is about issuance of immigrant visas, not people who aren't eligible to enter the country in the first place but even if we thought there was a made-up emergency exception this proclamation should satisfy just as much the cuban proclamation. the cuban proclamation involves diplomatic dispute that was 15 months early. the agencies recommend to the president that there are identified visa actions today and in response to that this is far easier to justify than the cuban proclamation even on their own rationale. >> you have two minutes. >> my rebuttal time is limited to cross appeal, we are cros

it was a time in her life when she was first lady of new york state, then the nation. her official duties kept her extremely busy. but her committed -- commitment to her community and val-kill industries never wavered. however, the great depression came along, the furniture was all handmade and pretty pricey. a little table would have cost you about $145, which was a small fortune during the great depression years. mrs. roosevelt used to say that she ended up being the best customer the val-kill industries ever had. when it became too much for her to keep on going with it financially, she then with great reluctance in 1936 shut down the val-kill industries and remodel this building into her home. she called her cottage of 20 rooms. the outside the building pretty much looks like a furniture factory. it is stucco over cement block and as one child described it, it looks like a whole lot of houses bunched together. the building was built in several stages, to separate -- two separate factory buildings and then additions are added on for showroom and pewter forge and so fo
