talking about being a unifier.ere is one thing we have seen over the past 18 hours, if not 18 months, is that the congress need somebody, the house republican conference meets somebody that is going to unify them. that is something kevin mccarthy has shown an ability to do. as majority leader has done a good job. toughest whip is the job for house republicans right now. he worked his tail off in that job and really tried to bring different parts of the party together on different issues. sometime successful, sometimes not. getrity leader cantor would involved or the speaker would get involved on tough issues, but kevin is somebody who worked tremendously throughout that process. we will see his vote counting ability when he wins as speaker. hopefully we'll unify the party. now, where else are we? majority leader and whip? those will be tough to tell. we will see who jumps in. there is going to be a lot of rancor in these fights. some you may not see as intensified as possible. it is tough to predict who will emerge

how does it become unified and then we'll turn to susan. rep. flores: i think today was a significant emotional event for the republican conference in the house. i think any time you have one of those significant emotional events it gives you a chance to back up and to reassess where you are and what our objectives are. one of the challenges we've had as a republican conference is that even though we've all been fairly unified on the positions we would like to achieve, the outcomes, we haven't always agreed on tactics and in some cases, our ability to be successful in achieving the outcomes we wanted wasn't as successful as we would have liked because we had disagreements over how to get there. so my hope is that now that we've gone through this event today, the speaker's resignation, that this gives us a chance to look at what the end state is. and the end state is to have an outcome. we'd like to have better economic growth for the country, address the fiscal challenges for the country, limit the federal government to its constitutional limite

it gave us a rallying cry so that we can come back together and unify. i think that he really laid the stage for us to have that unification. david: when speaker boehner said that he had delayed his decision because eric cantor had lost, did you interpret that as a signal that kevin mccarthy is the next speaker? if not, who do you think? rep. flores: actually, no. speaker boehner kept his cards for close to his desk. he probably has an opinion, but he did not let us know in any way, shape, or form what the leadership should look like moving forward. he said in a press conference later that kevin mccarthy would make an excellent speaker. you agree with that? rep. flores: he has been around long enough that he knows with the challenges are. he has the leadership potential to do that. i am personally not taking any positions. today.had several calls i will keep those to myself at this point. really, this has been a fairly, fairly dramatic day. we need to let the dust settle. i'm in a position as the chair of the republican state committee where it is not ap

addressing this challenge goes to the heart of the mission of the united nations, and it requires a unified response. we know violent extremism flourishes when human rights are violated, aspirations for inclusion are ignored and too many people, especially the world of young people with their hopes and dreams, lack prospect and meaning in their lives. we also know it is crew sha to have good gov northern, the rule of law [ inaudible ] quality education and decent jobs, full respect for human rights. security focus on counter terrorism measures are crucial. yet we can go longer have such efforts backfire by playing into the hands of those we are seeking to defeat, or by further alienating already marginalized groups or communities. the united nations global counter terrorism strategy. the security council resolution 2178 provides the tools for addressing the scourge of violent extremism, including the growing flow of thousands of foreign terrorist fighters. the duty of sustainable development goals also echo the voices of people -- >>> u.s. secretary general ban ki-moon speaking at the count

misconception over the transgender portion of the movement is that the lgbt movement is completely unified with an organized set of prioritize -- priorities everyone in the movement agrees with, which is not entirely true and the transgender movement has oftentimes been left on the sidelines like with issues of nondiscrimination laws and same-sex marriages have pursued as priorities. the issues of the transgender community have been left on the sidelines and left out of legislation when those bills have been considered. that is a portion of the movement that has been under view. it is also a portion of the movement that doesn't have the same level of resources. overlap is on nondiscrimination policies, trying to make sure policies are in place that prevent discrimination in terms of housing, employment, any number of different areas on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. traditionally, gender identity has been left out of that legislation until my recently. -- more recently. some of the other issues that are priority for the lesbian and gay portion have been same-sex marria

is there a danger that unified government breeds a form of arrogance or people don't reach out? is there maybe something admirable about divided government? or is it just a matter of encouraging people to essentially pretend there is divided government even if you control everything? >> there is a growing sense in the country that divided government isn't so bad. i tell a story in the book about a lady who saw me the week before the election and was hyperventilating saying what happens if john kerry becomes president. and she said what would happen? and i said they will be okay. i said if he is elected, there is less money spent because the government would turn down a ba bunch of programs and i was right. the idea of divided government when parties start to lose their way i think it is a good thing. but if a party inherits a platform or program i would like to see them have all of the wheels to at least get it through. by and large, i think there are advantages to divided government. it forces people to work together more. and it does reduce the arrogance. you know, the thing t

debra: it unifies this part of the composition. it would have looked odd if washington had had on 18th-century clothes. the idea also is to integrate washington with the ancient and allegorical figures. the lap robe, and informal terms, is another way of giving them a little more oomph. well, i think the face looks very much like the faces of deified roman emperors and leaders. the idea is, with titus and other figures, once you have been deified you do not look completely human anymore. there is still that human reference but you have entered a whole different realm of being at that point. you are not supposed to look like an ordinary human that would be seen in any kind of encounter. in that sense, the look on washington's face which refers directly to the earlier work, that is meant to differentiate his status from the status we see in the images in the lower part of the rotunda. it is 180 feet off the floor. how will you can see those features is a different matter. >> the portraits are far more recognizable, the entire fresco.
