the national park service is not a new agency. so the national park service centennial. its they have not managed historic sites. think about some of the early park service sites. they managed historic sites including gettysburg. .hey get control of 2000 acres and unlike today, the national park service does not have a uniform management philosophy. so much of how a park like gettysburg is managed depended on the local superintendent. james mcconaughey -- he is a harvard graduate. he has a degree in landscape architecture. so when he comes to gettysburg, his management philosophy is to manage the park, preserve the battlefield as a beautiful landscape. the park is encouraging visitors to come to gettysburg to look at flowers. beautiful spring foliage. come to round top and look at the beautiful fall foliage. mcconaughey thinks that the monuments are an impediment to these beautiful flowers. today in the 20 century, that makes a strange, that is procedureark service in those days. all of it's the great depression, and there's lots to memorize, the tva, the w.p.a., this is

with campaign 2020 now fully underway, the nation's pollsters and pundits turn to a handful of states critical to any candidate's presidential hopes, including pennsylvania. since 1992, pennsylvania's electoral college votes have gone to the democratic candidate. until 2016 when the political ground shifted as the keystone state chose donald trump. one county that flipped from blue to red is erie in the far northwestern corner of the state. that's where special contributor joie chen met with voters as part of our matter of fact listening tour in pennsylvania. joie: the orange vanilla twist at sara's is everything here. >> this is real erie? >> erie. joie: it is also a trait that captures the flavor of erie politics. sharp contrasts twisted together. do you think the rest of the country understands erie's politics? >> no, but i think that's why erie was one of the top counties that changed their mind to go and the rest of the country needs to catch up. joie: we asked 71-year-old judy phelps, a life-long democrat turned die-hard "trumper," to join us. she brought along friends from the

nfl the president directed the second of defense to deploy as many as 4,000 national guard troops to the southern border. today approximately 2,300 national guard troops remain deployed in texas and arizona to support 16,000 border patrol agents. in early october of 2019 there were more reports of another caravan originating in central america. despite advanced warning and ample time to plan and scale their response. c.d.p. did not prepare for the arrival, nor did the department ask congress to increase its capacity so that it could more effective process families. no such request was made of congress until earlier this year. instead the president preferred a show of force and requested the employment of 5,200 active duty military personnel to the southern border a week before the 2018 midterm elections. most of these personnel were tasked with hardening ports of entry, providing airline surveillance as well as providing medical care, transportation and other services to support border atrol paine-mile of border barrier in california. personally it's difficult to believe the administr

in february, the president declared a national emergency after a 35-day government shutdown which was caused over fundamental disagrement over the necessity of a border wall. after congress denied this funding request, the president sought to divert bolves dollars in previously appropriated defense funds to build this wall. and now it seems the administration is planning a multiyear deployment of active duty soldiers to the southern border. taken together, these actions point to a steep escalation in the d.o.d.'s role at our southern border. these policy decisions will have consequences and long-term effects. broad kes -- broad questions remain about whether the actions this administration has taken are an appropriate use of d.o.d. and d.h.s. resources. continued reliance by d.h.s. on the d.o.d. for handling the southern border will likely have ramifications on both departments' ability to carry out their respective missions. both departments are accountable to the american people through congress -- both departments are accountable to the american people through congress. i ask that

every year to learn about the nation's history. and if we come in the springtime they can also see these trees that go all the way around the tidal basin. they were a gift from the people of japan to the people of the united states in 1912. they are carved into the marble stone and people come from all over to find the names of their loved ones. when i think of the pledge of allegiance, i think of the flag and all of the important things the flag and pledge to stand for like freedom, justice and equality but then i realized we don't get these on our own there are people that fight for us to be free everyda every day like e soldiers from world war ii that raised the flag at hiroshima. before we got home there was one more place to go. we headed to the flagstones of the full jurors were given their lives to protect the country and all the freedoms we enjoy. today we learned about the rights and liberties we have as americans. we also learned that it's okay to have different opinions even when we disagree we are still indivisible with

that slavery is protected in the national capital. they are particularly interested in that because the capital had been in philadelphia for a long time before the continental congress. philadelphia was becoming increasingly hostile to slavery because there is a large quaker population that was against the institution. in the 1770's and 1780's in particular. became what is known as washington, d.c. how did that work out for slave owners? were there obstacles that got in their way? prof. musgrove: they were able to work out deals where they could sell their land to the federal government. they were also able to rent their slaves to the people who were building the national capital. there were slaves that were rented out to build the capital, the white house and other public improvements. slavery in the area was not faring well altogether. the freed the slaves or sold them into the slave trade ahead. >> the city of alexandria, at what point was that a part of the federal district. tell me about that decision. alexandria was one of the la

the united nations onslaught is smashing ahead on many fronts. re in rome, general clark watched his men march into the city. the allies were able to view the work of their mighty air support. some of these rail yards were bombed months ago, but repairs for the germans were out of the question. this is the same devastation now being wrought to nazi transport throughout the whole of europe. in their triumphal entry, the united nations troops moved past monuments of antiquity. the long history of the ancient city has seen few more joyous events. the liberators were acclaimed with fervor. rome is the first great capital to be freed from the enemy. the flags of united nations were unfurled at once, heralding the end of four years of nazi tyranny for the people of rome. and here is the balcony where mussolini once haranged his people. but suddenly there is excitement in the square. a bomb has been thrown into the former german headquarters. the italian people discover that some were hiding inside. and soon they smashed their way in. the traitors who co

the notion that it will divide the nation is something that was prognosticated. i would love to have the country in unity. i believe in unity. and i think you can have unity without uniformity. we don't all have to do the same thing all the time to have unity on certain issues. but there is no constitutional requirement that we have the minority support what the majority can do. and that the senate be aligned with the house before the house can act. no constitutional requirement for such a thing. next we have the notion that impeachment can benefit the chief executive officer. impeachment will benefit the chief executive officer. it is hard to imagine a chief executive officer wanting to be impeached. i have seen and heard statements from the chief executive officer that would give me reason to believe that the chief executive officer really does not want to be impeached. there is something called very verse -- reverse psychology that we're all familiar with. say that you want the thing that you don't want to the extent that you convince the people that can have t

in 19 47, the national security act is passed. in addition to creating the air force as a separate branch of military and the office of secretary of defense, not the department, that came in 1949, and establishing the national security council, the national security act also created the cia. find anlanguage, you interesting dynamic here. interpret a law, i would suggest that you look at the verbs, the action words, because those are the words that the stove -- bestow authority and power, potentially. and if they are strong, precise, empowering words, then you know that you are going to be able to do something. but if they are vague, weasel words that don't really mean much, that you cannot really get your arms around, then you know you are probably going to be in some kind of trouble somewhere along the line. this is exactly what you have with the national security act. givenhe agency is authority to perform its core missions, which are to collect secrets and protect secrets, that is espionage and counterintelligence, it is pretty

the national defense strategy acknowledge this reality. that's the thing i talked about a few minutes ago. that we have the national defense strategy as a blueprint for what we have been doing in our defense authorization committee. and, we have been if you're that. so, the nda a takes into account in support all of the aspects. now, the triad we have had people recently say we don't need to spend the amount of money on a triad system, the triad obviously needs train forces to defend for a nuclear division. but when you stop and think about the three different ways one thing can come in to the united states, it can come in on an icbm, it can come on a submarine, working come in on -- so that's what they mean by triad. so soma said we don't need three approach we only need one. if we knew in advance what weapon was coming in and what weapon they would use to be delivered than i would agree with that. but we can agree with that. we can't lop off a layer or two in the triad or the whole thing will collapse. each provides a different type of pr

history of the nation began here. ccessorshe modern to something that they explored -- when they found in 1499. the indians were living in houses on stilts, as some do today. , forthis came venezuela little venice. nearby on the lakeshore, oil seeps to the surface. indians were using it for medicinal purposes. it was to be more than four centuries before development of those oil resources really began. in the last early years, creole and other companies have built vast installations to tap the oil of the lake. to anchor its wells and waters as deep as 100 feet, this company developed its own underwater techniques, techniques which were later adapted along the north american coast. new platforms are built and wells are drilled on a regular schedule. according to the best conservation practices to avoid the waste of the waters near the lake. simple maintenance and operation require a virtual navy. a fleet of nearly 300 small boats were transporting personnel and supplies. repair facilities. even dry docks for the larger

you are the pride of our nation. you are the glory of our republic. we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. >> a heartfelt thanks from the president of the united states as leaders, the warriors themselves and those who will never forget gathered, they saw much more, lou, than monuments to men. they saw the power of promise, the certainty of light over darkness and a thankful people ever hopeful for a future together. >> i'm ready, mr. president of the united states of america. dear donald trump. the people of france are ready. ready to renew this friendship between our nations that has contributed so much to the history of the humanity. >> it was a sight to see, i must say, lou. even as the president prepares to come home, as you pointed out, this trip, the sights, the sounds, most of all the people and their stories will travel with him forever, even as we solemnly remember those who never came home. what a day over at normandy. obviously here in the emerald isle, a subdued night for the president of the united states. if he plans to step in fro

in an announcement to the nation prime. it has to be a made safe security forces were in full control off amar state. you wanting. to the people of ethiopia don't believe in silencing killing and claiming power by spilling the blood of their brothers and sisters on especially. american and. they believe power should be obtained only through democratic means unity and sacrifice that. young man has played don't accept totalitarian regimes when it could have shown that through a common struggle coach as we've built them ocracy in past years they have rejected these efforts to silence people with a unified voice and under siege. and across the whole market so what do these developments mean for the country we've invited william davison senior ethiopia analyst at crisis group to give us some context william was ethiopia correspondent for 7 years and he's joining us now from brussels welcome to day debi africa with him would you say if the opiah isn't a political crisis. yes there's certainly an element of crisis about this and it

the near act is a national proposal with a very special connection. people in my district, the eighth congressional district of florida, understand in a very deep way the economic and environmental importance of the ocean and our estuary. my district is on the east by the indian river lagoon which is the most diverse estuary. as the name implies, our name is a lagoon. it's an estuary separated by the ocean by barrier islands. the exchange of water makes it an estuary. the lagoon is 156 miles long but it's only half mile to five miles wide and averages just three feet in depth. our lagoon is a wondrous area for sea life but it makes it especially vulnerable to environmental threats. unfortunately, the indian river lagoon and other valuable estuaries throughout our country are being threatened by ocean acidification along with other stressors. e.p.a. tells us that when carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere about one third of that carbon dioxide is be a -- is absorbed by sea water. we've seen it in the ocean but this process is now seemingly to o

they represent the national interests. stead, they are clearly led by multi-nationalists, big business and wall street and the lobbies that represent those multi-nationals and business interests. in fact, the senators are afraid the president will do exactly what he was voted in to do and what he set out to do; that is, to shut down illegal immigration and secure our southern border. to force mexico to stop the illegal immigration that the chamber of horrors desires for its members. the chamber's demands of the senate prove just how afraid big business really is of president trump as tonight he is on the verge of winning both the trade war and resolving the national emergency that he declared only four months ago. the republican party in the senate appears, to me, to be on the verge of committing absolute suicide. the tragedy is it may well take this great republic down with them. tonight president trump stands between them and the making of what will surely be a national disaster if these gop senators in the senate have th
