britain is leaving the european union. we are going to make our own decisions and our own laws, we are going to take control of the things that matter most to us and we are going to take this opportunity to build a stronger, fairer britain, a country that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home. that is our ambition and opportunity and that is what this government is determined to do. at moments like these, great turning points in our national story, the choices we make to find the character of our nation. we can choose to say the task ahead is too great, we can turn our faces apart and believe it can't be done or we can look forward with optimism and hope and to believe in the enduring power of the british spirit. i choose to believe in britain and that our best days lie ahead. and i do so because i'm confident we have the vision and the plan to use this moment to build a better britain. for leaving the european union presents us with a unique opportunity. it is this generation's chance to shape a brighter f

because they didn't find the union where they expected to find the union.ing... because they don't have jobs. exactly, they didn't find a union developing new social policies to create jobs. your argument to them is more integration, more union? my answer is a better economic policy, to boost growth, to create jobs. and i don't believe that going back to the national borders, going back to nationalism, can be a solution for these young people who do not have a job, and they are probably much more qualified than we used to be when we were 20 years old. and those policies have been devised in the institutions of the eu, in brussels, have they? well, it is clear that we need to shake the brussels institutions. i owe a lot of respect to the european commission. i work in the european commission, i work in european parliament. but they have lost touch with reality. in the last eight years, they lost touch with the increasing social inequalities. and, if you want to tackle this, national policies, local policies, are not enough. we must do more, and better also,

actually, of union -- you said union households. remember, those aren't union members.y live in the household. may or may not be a good relationship. you know? who knows? anyways, of union members, trump got 37% of our -- 36% of our members. that's 3% more than mitt romney got. on the flip side, hillary clinton got 10% less of our members than barack obama got. and when you -- you look at that, you know, it's a pretty formidable difference but here's what happens. he made promises that people believed. and even if they voted for hillary or they voted for him, president trump, they were voting for the same thing. to change the rules of the economy. because that's what they told us. that's what they want to happen. they believed he would do it. some believed she would do it. but when that doesn't happen or they see the rules being changed to make it worse for them, the support -- well, i think they'll become disheartened. many americans are already disheartened with the system. you have to ask yourself why less than 50% of the eligible population actually votes. what do t

or not yet union. if you're an engineer in seattle or an auto worker in mississippi, you should have the right to bargain with your coworkers for a better life and employers should have to abide by that. now, some might say that's pretty radical idea. quite frankly, i say it's about the most fundamental thing that there can be. and there's never been a more important time for workers to assert our collectively power. you see, when all workers have a say in our pay and working conditions we'll start to close that gap. we'll lift up more families and communities. we'll build the america that our founders envisioned, that our parents built and that our children deserve. now, this is what the vast majority of americans cried out for in 2016. whether they voted for donald trump or hillary clinton, they were crying out for new economic rules. a new way of doing business. changing an economy so that it worked for them. see, we're closing in on the first 100 days of president trump's administration and two ver

any state in the union. pennsylvania, because of gettysburg is the only exception. mississippi offers a unique point of contact between northern and southern interpretations of the meaning of the war. first, several confederate monuments at vicksburg are very dramatic. this statue of a texas common soldier depicts an utterly confident figure, as if he is quite ready if those yankee boys come again. there he is. and monuments like the alabama state memorial offer defiant counterpoints. the sculptor titled this monument "the death stand." we will give you a close-up. four soldiers are firing their weapons, two are wounded, one is wounded and near-death, and the woman at the center there's the confederate battle flag. it does not look as if they will last long but they will not give up either. however, the vicksburg monument and landscape is also clear about this -- this was a union victory. monuments such as the massachusetts common soldier, the rhode island common soldier, and the new york obelisk, offer clea

toally it is all donated union soldiers. in fact, there are more union monuments in tennessee than there are confederate monument. at the same time, there are almost no tributes to tennessee union soldiers, just this one at the nashville cemetery and this one at the county courthouse in east tennessee. the tennessee civil war monumentation reflects the same divided tennis -- the divisions that divided tennessee during the war and there's continuing ambivalence to this day, including monuments such as this one in cumberland, county attributed to union and confederate soldiers. there is ambivalence that prevails. it is in tennessee. tennessee. mississippi. monumentation describes an embattled state which embarked on a course which is leadership voted for and its citizens three -- its citizenry largely supported. they paid a heavy price for doing so and mississippi monumentation reflects that legacy. mississippi soldiers, of course, fought bravely and well. they turned back union forces at fort pemberton and rolling rock. they

there are many union stations throughout the country and it means the union of two or more railroads agreeing to operate out in a single building. this location a few blocks away from the u.s. capitol building is a great spot and one of the other reasons it worked so well was because it was north of the capital building. andof the train, the tracks the lines coming in could and here before going underground. to ridwed the whole area this part of the city of much of the infrastructure like the tracks that had been here up to this point in time. the plans began to build the station and the lead architect responsible for the architecture of the building and it did not go quite as smoothly as planned. when construction began, they hoped to complete the building by 1905, in time for the inauguration. that.id not make the building did not open for service until the fall and it was served by the bn no railroad. much later by the pennsylvania railroad. building wason the not fully completed until 1912 with all the statuary and columbus plaza outside. the railroad station did begin operation

unions are a big business. people don't understand that if you take all the unions in america today, annual cash flow is over $20 billion a year. that is coming from dues. you got to have more people on the job, you resist progression, you resist productivity and you say i need to keep the same people on the job i had before even though i don't need them anymore. it's the joke about how many electricians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? john: how many? >> three, one guy to hold the bulb, one to turn the bulb and one to hold the ladder. john: the $15 wage is successful? >> in a few places, but for the most part the country understands paying somebody $30,000 who doesn't have a high school degree is not the way to get the low-skilled people in the workforce. these are people who are going to be pushed out by technology, you're not going to be able to get the same number of jobs in a mcdonald's because they're going to kiosks. john: earlier i played a clip of a union protest that shut down a mcdonald's, deman

that is why we call this union station. there are many union stations drop the country. and it always means the union of two or more railroads agreed to operate out of a single building. few blockson, just a away from the u.s. capitol building, is a great spot and one of the other reasons it worked so well is because it was more than the capitol building, so all of the trains, tracks, and lines coming in good end here at union station before going underground. it allowed the whole area to be cleaned up and really to read this part of the city -- to really rid is part of the city, like the tracks that had been here up to this point in time. the plans began to build the station and the lead architect is really responsible for the architecture of the building, go quite s moved -- it did not go quite as smoothly as planned. when construction began, they hoped to complete the building by 1905, in time for the inauguration. they did not make that. the building did not open until 1907 in the fall, and it was first served by the bno railroad. much later by the pennsylvania , rai
