the president revived the national space council after it laid dormant for 25 years. rought together the best minds in and out of the government to revive the american space enterprise. we reformed the national space traffic management system. we streamlined regulation for the commercial use of space. in 2017, president trump made it the policy of the u.s. to return to the moon by 2024 and ensure the next man and next woman to set foot on the moon would be american astronauts. [applause] and we are on hour away. at the president's direction, we won't just go back to the moon. mission artemis is going to take us to the moon and then america will make the next giant leap and we will land american astronauts on mars.

we are going to put the vice the chairman of the national space council. at theare going to secretary of defense and the secretary of commerce and transportation and director of national intelligence and so many others. here is what we have done. as a nation, america is again leading in space. we are proud. america is leaving again in space. and i can tell you when the vice president got the role of chairman of the national space like a, he took to it duck to water. we've had meeting after meeting about how to make america preeminent in space and i have entertained phone call after phone call about this mission. the vice president is a very real space enthusiast. he has been very supportive of what is now the largest budget in nasa's history in dollars and at the kennedy space center we are seeing the benefit of that today. a human landing system funded to go back to the surface of the moon and we have contracts for that. one of those partners is spacex. for partnering with us yet again. it is my pleasure and honor to introduce to you the chairman of the na

we are the national council membership organization of women in prison or formerly incarcerated. i want to make the point that we are on the front line and directly in contact with women who are still there. thank you again for allowing us to address this forum. for months, we have been juggling numerous calls per day from family members who do not understand why the bop will not let their elderly or ill family members come home. we have been inundated with countless stories from the women in federal prison that there scores have gone from low to high for no reason making them ineligible for release under the attorney general barr's directive. we have received countless emails saying that women are being quarantined in spaces that are not designed to house people such as visiting rooms and a kitchen. i'm tired of reading statistics like the one from danbury prison about the 159 reviewed for home confinement, only 21 have been given permission to go home. i'm tired of the work we have to do to determine whether they have actually been released. regardless of what congress has legis

as we continue at the national council to be on the front lines in the fight to protect the human beings who are incarcerated during this pandemic, we will continue to be at the receiving end 40 phone calls from the families and documenting the desperate pleas from the women themselves and we will continue to do all we can to provide them with the support i need notwithstanding our overstretched staffing capacity and budget but we need help. congress can help to fix this when we believe congress has a moral responsibility to do so. thank you again for this opportunity. caldwell? >> thank you. this past march when covid-19 started hitting the united states, people started asking when they would be going to school, whether their offices would be shut down, whether they would lose their jobs. my family started asking if we would lose our father. my dad's name is thomas. he is incarcerated at a prison camp just outside of el paso, texas. it is a minimal security facility with mostly elderly, nonviolent first-time offenders. there isn't even a fence around the campus. the inmates are all extr

let's start, if we may, with susan rice and their interest in the national -- in the obama administration in the national security councilnew something, many things that they had done were wrong, unlawful, and susan rice was trying to cover up as quickly as she could with a self-serving, nonsensical memo to self. your thoughts. >> look, that memo that she wrote to herself just a few minutes before she walked out the door and a few minutes before general flynn and i walked into the door of the west wing, it's like the 13th chime of a clock, lou. it's extraordinary in and of itself, and it calls into question all which preceded it. she would never is are written that memo to the record unless they knew they had something -- they'd done a lot of things wrong, and they were trying to cover up. at one point she says president obama's questioning the fbi director should, is in any reason we should not share with general flynn and the new team any information on russia. and they're acting as if, well, this has just come up. so when general flynn and i met with susan rice four weeks before that and met several times with susan r

survey of providers by the national council for behavioral health show that more than 60% of mental health providers have already been forced to close one or more programs. 60%. and 62%ee of providers could not survive more than three months without emergency financial assistance. as we continue working to help the american people through this difficult time, we cannot forget those who are suffering in silence. madam president, we have a big job ahead of us, that is why it is so important we are here, doing our job on behalf of the 330 million people in this country. i return back to the senate with a long list of ideas and feedback from the texans who have been generous enough to spend time talking with me over the past few weeks. i know all 100 members of the senate are in a similar position, i hope we can retain the same sense of bipartisanship that is guided us through the legislation we passed so far. we are going to win this fight, and we will, it won't be because of a republican idea or democrat one. it will be because every single person in this chamber, checked their political pri

well, anyway, now president trump has the national security council he needs which is very good becauseery president should have a national security council that suits his needs. president trump, unlike a lot of other presidents, he makes the decisions himself. he doesn't just pick option one, two or three that are sort of spoon fed him by the bureaucracy. is so i think now he's got the right people in the right places, and i do think that american foreign policy and national security policy will really quickly be able to implement president trump's objectives. lou: give us your sense though the -- what is being projected from the white house right now. because there is an incredible, i think an unprecedented number of crises that are contemporaneous, whether it is the wuhan virus, whether it is an intense disinformation and propaganda campaign by one of the principal powers of the world, and that is china. at the same time, taking over hong kong because that's what it is, we all know it, and we all might as well use plain english when we say it. and there is here president that needs a

>> y served in president obama's cabinet as national security adviser and ambassador to the you were alsos. in president clinton's national security council. anbecause of the covid pandemic that continues, we are practicing social distancing. thank you for joining me fr your home. >> good to be with you. >> you are also the co-chair of the reopen d.c. advisory group, and you are focusing on how to reopen the economy in our nation's capital. how aryou thinking about balancing the urgent need to reopenhe economy with the nd to curtail the spread of the virus? >> well, we are adsing the mayor, muriel bowser, and we're thinking aboutis ery simply. the simple point is that the health and safety of the residents of the district of columbia is paramount and we can't successfully reopen the economy without preserving and protecting to the greateste extent possi help the people of the district. and so the mayor has been quite cautious. and obviously we all have an interest in getting the economy back going in a sustainableay. but we recognize that if make a false start, if we come out of the bo too fast and too soon, we risk a major setback. d.c.,

national security advisor, general. somewhat of an honor risk general but he really invented the role of national security adviser. he defined the purposes of the national security council and brought a military ethos. eisenhower said again and again, the meetings of the national security council was the most important meetings of a government. in fact, he said that to john kennedy when they were meeting during the handover. kennedy said yeah, whatever, i-got bobby, i'll be fine. he didn't pay attention to the n.f.c. and it reflected very much a military operation, a staff system. real quickly, george martial. what the relationship was with -- >> that's a lecture in itself but martial made eisenhower. we owe eizenhower to general marshall. and it's a story with some pathos to it. of course, martin brought eizenhower up, promoted him from. war plans to running the european theater to getting the command at normandy which martial probably wanted and the president said i'm going with ike. during the campaign of 195, george martial had been criticized for many, many months by senator march commark think. hey, he was over there when the problems began. there must be a connec

consultation with the national security council, general abrams and my other thators, i have concluded the actions of the enemy in the last 100 days clearly endanger the lives of americans in vietnam right now and would constitute an unacceptable risk to those who would be there after withdrawal of another 150,000. to protect our men who are in vietnam and to guarantee the continued success of our withdrawal programs, i have >> tonight, in april 30, 1970 address from president richard nixon and announcing that u.s. and south vietnamese forces would attack north vietnamese basis in cambodia. a newnnouncement led to wave of antiwar protests on campuses. >> next on american history tv, the national constitution center in philadelphia hosts a virtual town hall about george washington's influence in shaping the constitution after the revolutionary war, and as president, his role in making it work. the center's jeffrey rosen moderates the conversation with white house historical association historian lindsay chervinsky and pulitzer prize-winning author edward larson. this and other constitut

national security adviser, general. he was not -- somewhat of an honoristic general. i think robert cutler invented the role of national security adviser. he defined the purposes of the national security counciland, indeed, brought a military ethos to running the nsc. eisenhower said again and again the meetings of the national security council were the most important meetings of the government. he said that to john kennedy when they were meeting during the handover, during the transition. you have to understand the nsc, what it's all about. this is where everything happens. he said yeah, yeah, i've got bobby. i'll be fine. he didn't use it the same way eisenhower had done. bobby cutler was the man who implemented it. >> real quickly, george marshall, what the relationship with -- >> that's a lecture in itself, but marshall made eisenhower. we owe eisenhower to general marshall. and it's a story with some to it. marshall brought ike up, promoted him, gave him the biggest jobs of the war, running the european theater, getting xand in normandy, which marshall probably wanted and said mr. president, it's not up to me. roosevelt said okay, i'm going with ike. during the campaign of 1952, george m

after full consultation with the national security council, general abrams, and my other advisors, i have concluded that the actions of the enemy in the last 10 days clearly endanger the lives of americans who are in vietnam now, and what constitute an unacceptable risk to those who will be there after withdrawal of another 150,000. to protect our men who were in vietnam, and to guarantee the continued success of our withdrawal and vietnam's asian programs, i have concluded that the time has come for action. tonight, i shall describe the actions of the enemy, the actions i have order to deal with the situation, and the reasons for my decision. cambodia, a small country of 7 million people, has been a neutral nation since the geneva agreement of 1954, an agreement signed by the government of vietnam. american policy since then has been to scrupulously respect the neutrality of the cambodian people. we have maintained a skeleton diplomatic mission of fewer than 15 in cambodia's capital, and that only since last august. ,or the previous four years 1965 to 1969, we did not have any diplom

it was developed by the career staff in the national security council, asked -- i asked along with the national security adviser, we asked our staff to prepare that playbook for the next team. why? we wanted them to have the benefit of the lessons we learned during ebola and zika. 69 page playbook, it was pretty much a paint by numbers aapproach to how in the national security council, in the white house, you should respond to a pandemic outbreak. we also -- that playbook, by the way, was, of course, ignored. the obama administration left a preparedness office, staffed by career professionals whose job it was to spend 24/7 thinking and planning and preparing for exactly the scenario. what happened to that office? it was disbanded in 2018. we left a program called predict. yes it was called predict. its job, out of the cdc, was to work overseas including in china to stop epidemics before they become pandemics and to stop them before they get here. what happened to that program? it was defunded. and finally, alisyn, the fact is i spent hours in an exercise during the transition along wit
