aspect of these state of the union addresses. this beginning with harry truman, they are televised and lyndon johnson brings them into prime time, we imagine or have pictures in our minds of what these states -- stages or the setting of the seat of the union address is going to look like. as viewers watched the state of the union address, it is to consider how we compare what biden does to previous instances of the state of the union address, it is not a significant that biden is -- insignificant that biden has become this hollowed sanctum of democracy. we can imagine fdr standing behind the podium and responded to the attacks on pearl harbor. or we can think again most recently about the address that biden delivered last april. the last time we spoke to a joint session of congress. a small number of members of the congress were invited to sit socially distanced and masked because of covid. we think about how biden will deliver this address in this particular time, in this place that has held so many shared memories or visuals of

so it goes behind the union. army all the way down. and then swings back up from below to the other side and back to richmond. he basically circumnavigates the entire union force. and he is a hero. this is a daring act it gets fully exactly the intelligence and information that he wanted. i copied down some of the things that the newspapers were saying at the time they were saying and this is from confederate newspapers in the south magnificent achievement. brilliant reconnaissance unparalleled maneuver now steward is being recognized. okay. he's getting fame and people are starting to look toward him. he's also starting to put on the outfits that you think of in having the plumes hat and starts to put on more of a theatrical atmosphere. that reaches an interesting point because not long after his ride around mcclellan. mcclellan leaves, john pope will be heard about takes an army and starts to head down into the area where lee is and of course stuart starts recognoitering starts block into the federals. he ends up setting up one day h

soviet union and the soviet union was very fearful of the united statesere were times in the 1980s when the cold war might have gotten hot and we avoided that. if we hadn't avoided that we wouldn't be here today. so reagan wanted to send a very clear message. now, again, he thought he could mobilize the evangelicals because the soviet union is officially -- was officially atheistic and wanted to drive that point home to them. and engage them against the idea of moral equivalence. we're going to see that in the clip that we're going to show right now. this is paul kanger giving a talk about the speech. >> so here is the third and final clip. >> yes, let us pray for the salvation for those who live in the totalitarian darkness and pray they know god and until they do, while they preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over men who predicted the dominance of all peoples on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world. it was c.s. lewis who in his screw tape letters wrote, the greatest evil is not done now in those sordid dens

many who fought for the union. if the confederacy won, the noble american experiment in government by the citizen we would have failed. lincoln added in his address it was to be a democracy free of slavery. u.s. soldiers had given the last full measure of devotion that the nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom and the government of the people and by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. he wouldn't have emphasized the prepositions there, which people who often quote gettysburg, of the people, by the people. by the what? it's the people. have you read the preamble to the constitution? that's what lincoln is puling into his treatment here. it's all about the people. the people and self-government nabs. i believe we have read these words so many times they don't really register. but if we think about them carefully, we have viftly before us the essence of what was at stake in the war. modern day americans have ample reason to visit. these journeys yield rich dividends to the reward

no one wants a three-hour state of the union speech. k you guys do. >> that was the white house press secretary jen psaki speaking to us about how president biden plans to approach tomorrow night's state of the union address, his first. >> we want to bring in jennifer palmary, who knows a thing or two about it. she's also co-host of showtime's "the circus." >> reporter: you were in the white house when russia annexed crimea. given that experience, if you were running the biden communication shop, how much would ukraine factor into the president's speech tomorrow? >> when you're giving the state of the union in a moment of crisis, it's not necessarily a moment you would have picked for the state of the union, but you are in a crisis, you have to ask what is required in the president of the united states in this moment when it comes to leadership and what is going to put him in the best position to lead the american people at this time of crisis. i think if you look at it through that very clear and relatively narrow lens, unequivocally th

they attempted to secede from the union. drawing language if you can believe it from the declaration of independence. in doing so they modeled also their constitution after the united states constitution with of course some key changes. james thornwell of south carolina insisted that secessionists were quote upholding the great principles which our fathers bequeathed. and the very liberty for which washington bled and which the heroes of the revolution achieved and so the election of 1860 was essentially a referendum on who's interpretation of the american founders was correct. near the start of that election year lincoln exhorted americans to have faith. that right makes might and he hoped to position the republican party as the true heirs of the founding. now you can't talk in you can't talk about the founding without talking about the founder and that means george, washington. so in my book i start with the influence that washington had on lincoln washington's character his piety and his indispensable role as a conceiver d

how that we should remain within the, the european union. the wilson talks are going on between the government and the you to try and out problems with implementing the protocol. you don't have much faith in these talks to, you know, i don't because of course he has years and years. northern ireland, right? the school withdrawal processed, they have talked about the importance of protecting the single market, even though only 4 percent of the trade between 2 goes to the european union, very small percentage. only 5 percent of the firms in northern ireland actually treated with the irish republic. and so the chances of leakage and to the european single markets from northern ireland were very, very remote. and then they would let me you here. but you seem to forget that the british governments fingerprints are on every page of that protocol, the government was forced into the protocol kicking and screaming. it signed it, sealed it and hailed it or the one before chapman didn't it on the and i don't, i don't. and anyway, try to the mirror from

or destroy the union. these are extraordinarily. earth-shaking decisions that no man. no woman could take easily and you see that as part of his stress as well. so when the war began when lincoln came in office civil war began he put so much effort into preserving the union, but he understood that the real core. issue was slavery and he knew he had to take measures against slavery. of course. that was a controversial sadly a controversial thing to do one of my favorite areas of our museum shows his initial reading of the emancipation proclamation to his very strong cabinet in july of 1862 and you see a variety of of reactions to that some happy some not happy at all because they feared that the emancipation proclamation would drop particularly the border states into the confederacy and that would have been probably fatal to the union but lincoln knew at that point that from a principal point of view. it was important. he had the authority it was a wartime measure only as commander in chief to free those slaves in rebel territory taken by the union armies, but also he kn

the seceded states back into the union. o a tyrant who violated civil liberties with unprecedented abandon, right? those two violations of the constitution made it easier for lincoln to make his final complete and total violation of the constitution the emancipation proclamation. every step of that argument i think is mistaken. every single step. [ applause ] >> i got the crooked path earlier this fall. and read it in two nights. it is a fantastic book and i cannot commend it enough. please join us again after lunch. and please, again, join me in thanking our speaker. [ applause ] >>> cold war historian victoria philips explored the trading cards that the bubble gum company released in 1941. here is a excerpt. >> that are a group activity, they're also individualistic, they foster competitive spirit, they teach capitalism, buying and selling, they include that all important sweet treat, and embed the idea of religion and in god we trust. which becomes an american motto. so the first thing that the boys would do would go into

the african union, amber employ, a to the horn of africa. i was given a sandra as well as the kenyan presidents, are in addis ababa. they had, they repeatedly tried to start negotiations between the warring parties. well, we have to see and you know, whether a significant step will be taking in this direction. and it's unlikely that the african union summit will address it in a direct way. i have not the idea of in crisis and what other issues are on the agenda this way can particularly issues that men besides will be disagreeing on well considering discrepancies. one major discrepancy could be the accreditation of the state of israel to become an observer country to the african union. this is a decision that was made last year by the president of the african union commission . was that back? he's backed by several countries. this is morocco and the d r. c, but he's also facing strong oppositions. opposition from countries such as a south africa and algeria. traditionally, the african is a pro supporter of palestine and has called for the wi

the year of emancipation. union soldiers and sailors were now charged by the president to protect the freedom of over 3 million black people. freed black people. what lincoln called a new earth of freedom was directly tied to an old birth. the original birth of freedom. our, if you will, first emancipation proclamation, the declaration of independence. its central idea that all men are created equal described the natural condition or state of every human being throughout time. so at gettysburg lincoln did not announce a new principle of freedom but affirmed an old one. one he learned from the founders when they declared independence. lincoln never sought to discover new rights for a new age. he never spoke of a living constitution, one where a visionary few would discern what would benefit the many. instead, he spoke of what? the unfinished work to which the living, all of the american people, could dedicate themselves. in this way, they could honor the men who fought and the men who died at gettysburg, those who ga

is strong. >> the state of our union is confident and strong. >> the state of our union is strong. our people are strong. >> my fellow americans, the state of our union is strong. >> the state of the union will remain sound and strong. >> the state of our union is stronger than a year ago and growing stronger each day. >> the state of our union is sound. >> i must say to you that the state of the union is not good. >> that one discord note, gerald ford a few months after watergate put him into office. joining me, katherine lucy, reporter for the "wall street journal." thank you for taking time to join us here. let me first ask you, how much has the planning for this very important speech, again, this is the chance for the white house to sort of set its terms for the 2022 midterms. how much has the planning for this speech been changed by everything that's happened in the last few days in ukraine? how much of a different speech are we going to get on tuesday than the white house initially set out to provide to the country? >> this is one of the big marquee moments, right? and steve,

and yet, it's oddly enough, the judge me to the face not active union have been chance even though the comment on legal argument was that it had chance back of union. that's why the p s. should not be considered. did. um maurice johnson lie to your party about the protocol. well he, he's a certainly, before he actually had the season himself made promises that he would do the things which teresa may done them conveniently because he needed to get a withdrawal agreement. he accept the cm terms as treason a hadn't tried to push through the height of comment on which he was against. so yes, he did not. he and he was not truthful on this. and that's why we're saying he ny has an obligation. if he wants to keep the united kingdom together, if he wants to ensure that the people of northern ireland options differently from people in other parts united kingdom, he must them on day the protocol. and don't forget, i mean, you talk with breaking the law that breaking law, the protocol itself actually has probation for changes. we made the political declaration which accompany nathan, it's not rev

that was a model for the four slave states that had remained in the union. in the first half of 1862 he signed off on a raft of congressional bills that implemented the project. those laws made it a crime for anyone in the us military to participate in the capture and return of fugitive slaves abolished slavery in washington dc required west virginia to abolish slavery as a condition for admission to the union and banned slavery from the western territories. in his first year as president lincoln negotiated a treaty with great britain that led within a few years to the end of the 350 year old atlantic slave trade. they were building the cordon of freedom. as the crisis moved into its second year federal anti-slavery policy became more and more aggressive until with the emancipation proclamation war became revolution. in the early months of 1862 lincoln had begun to warn the loyal border states that emancipation would soon lead to abolition. his famous proclamation of january 1st, 1863 declared emancipation universal in all the disloyal parts of the south and

the european union stands with ukraine and its people. we will continue to support them . ukraine will prevail. thank you. these are among the dark cuz our for europe sees the end of world war 2. and major nuclear power has attack and neighbor country. and he's threatening reprisals of any other state than may come to the rescue. this is not all lead to great. this violation of international law. it's a violation of the basic principles of human coexistence. it's costing many lives with unknown consequences ahead of us the to be in union will respond in the strongest possible terms. bradley then or do to be and gone till regina michelle has called for a meeting of you to be an conceal this evening. and they will agree and provide political guidance to up the stronger package. they're harsh. it baggage of sanctions. we have ever implemented as had, are present at the for the, for dang, are 1st and security policy. would it be a union? i will be in touch with our partners around the world to ensure the international community will be fully g

i sat through 8 state of the union addresses, you can tell a lot about the state of the union about whatrolling the house and white house must pick a date, congress must be in session with few other matters competing, before the address, members announced their guest, each member allowed one guest, they figured out they could get attention by inviting high profile or provocative guests. to get all of the attention you could get, someone must be chosen to deliver the responses to the state of the union, usually an aspiring politic, now there are multiple responses to the state of the union. the progressive picked rashida tlaib to give her response, i can't wait to hear it, i will be tuning in to learn where unabomber and el chapo, where man who killed 9 black christians in a change and the 3 men who killed ahmaud arbery, and others will be going in 10 years, when she closes the prisons. what a perfect time to tell us whose community they will be released into. state of the union will show you how car congress has fallen, member of floor take hours to get their seats on center aisle. the e

k. government to get the most of the effects in the d, u. b unionism generally, and the b u p in particular, thrown themselves at the feet of the british prime minister. and the bar us thrown them on the bus a couple of times already and will do so again, you know, bar assign a bar us. and we know how unprincipled is we basically, if you start from self and the union, mr. and chris thought he would play them along when a suit someone's needs them that i think the problem i have is that, that the d u. p in particular, are trying to cling to a version of the british empire that exists at a 100 years ago. 1920 or even before it undocked, there's tempting to recreate that on that can't be recreated the word just moved on . and that's the difficulty we hear that. a lot of these people are refusing to recognise the 21st century. and the koreans problem far as the long term because until they wake up and smell the coffee at the 21st century, we're all at a loss. we're all at a significant stage. this will tell us what would be a greatest fear for noise. and i

the european union announces — country. the european union announces that _ country. e european union announces that it _ country. the european union announces that it will- country. the european union announces that it will ship i announces that it will ship arms to ukraine calling the move a watershed moment for the eu. ., , eu. for the first time ever, the european _ eu. for the first time ever, the european union - eu. for the first time ever, the european union will. eu. for the first time ever, - the european union will finance the european union will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and other equipment to a country that is under attack. and searching for a safe haven. poland said at least 200,000 people seeking refuge have now crossed from ukraine. hello and welcome to bbc news. russia's strategic nuclear forces have been placed on high alert copy the us for the move and unacceptable escalation stopping the european union has announced groundbreaking sanctions and decided to send arms to ukraine stopping more on all of that in a moment but firstly, o

that conflicted with the 1800 acts of union. that was thrown out and that's not the decision of the court. that was a local court made up the decision made by him judge. she made the season regarding the checks only a couple of weeks ago. and i would say that there was a much a political and put in that the system as her was a legal and put into the the fact of the matter is that the government, the self hasn't met. and it's keith and court was that changed the constitution of northern ireland by default, when it allowed checks to occur between northern ireland and she paid, the government said that the active union was actually imply of the change. and yet, oddly enough, the judge with the face no doc union have been changed even though the comments on legal argument was that had had chance of getting. and that's why the p. s. should not be considered. gum maurice johnson lie to your party about the protocol? well he, he's a certainly, before he actually had the season himself made promises that he would do the things which tere

that's what the state of the union is. projecting the pain, but the passion of what makes us americans. i'm thinking about the people in ukraine. the grandmothers with the ak-40s. george, i don't even know what that looks like. the fact that they're fighting, they're defiant, that's what this moment is about. i think the president can project that tuesday. >> jon, there's no question the president's speech is going to be transformed by ukraine, by the fact that the war is going on as he's speaking. >> absolutely. extraordinary moment, george. we see the aggression by russia. we see a threat to the world order like we have not seen since world war ii. this will have in a sense the feeling of a wartime speech and in face of this aggression, this would be a moment of unity you would expect, yet you see the previous president coming out, donald trump, as you mentioned in your interview with tom cotton, essentially praising vladimir putin, condemning the president of the united states. this is not normal. it's not right. it's no

now ukraine is aspiring to join the european union. that's part of what all this conflict is about, assuming that ukraine retains its independence. christine, what are its prospects of actually becoming a new member? stay well in, in, in, in the days and after the invasion and began have some e u member states l opened up their conversation they, they made public remarks expressing that ukraine should be granted a path to accession into the european union. poland for example, slovakia are for example, the polish president just this weekend. and also this weekend we heard are from the commission president was to live on the line, she said, and i quote, they are one of us referring to ukraine and we want them in of what else as she, she put a caviar to that to say down the line you might know, terry, that in 2008 the ukrainians did apply for e u membership. add that an application was unsuccessful for a number of reasons and as put by the european union, they cited the corruption and the need for the reforms. there are some countries alre

it is called the state of the union. time to remind americans how far we have come but all the work that we're going to be able to accomplish under his helm and under his administration. that will be the critical message biden has to deliver. he has to remind americans there is a reason why he was elected to lead this country, all the accomplishments that david mentioned. and the idea that we need to focus on how to get things better and how to get us back on track. so all of that whining and all of that from the gop makes no sense to focus on if you are president biden. >> all right. our all star panel, a real pleasure. thank you guys for joining us tonight. >>> coming up, the all-out effort to shame putin on the international stage. a member of the house foreign affairs committee joins us next. affairs committee joins us next. >>> so vladimir putin hasn't responded to the diplomatic pressure. today the czech republic joined poland and sweden in announcing they are refusing to play against russia's in next month's world

the regime also works through mass public organization such as the communist youth league and trade unions the agitation and propaganda component of the armed forces and the national educational system to indoctrinate various elements of the population. moreover party propaganda professionals are dispatched continuously to enforce ideological conformity within the vast network and to provide the appropriate party lines. socialist indoctrination soviet style is introduced early in a child's education. each classroom contains its own lenin corner a small area set up to deify the exploits of lenin as the great leader of the first socialist revolution in the world. in music class for example children learn to express their love for lenin through hymns that are sung on holidays. soviet elementary education is characterized by a suffocating paternalism and assurance of personal security is offered by the state in return for strict conformity and the suppression of individual expression. in art classes, for example all children are required to draw the same object in exactly the same way and usin
