expansion continues there and the country is quickly approaching a civil war. in north and west africa anarchy extremism and terrorism continues to threaten the interest of the united states as well as allies and partners. in europe russians intervention in the ukraine challenges resolve of europe yn union and effectiveness of the north atlantic treaty organization. while the cycle of north korean provocation continues to increase. the rate of humanitarian and disaster relief missions heightens level of uncertainty we face around the world along with constant evolving threats to the homeland. despite all of this we continue to reduce our military capabilities. i would like to remind everyone that over the last three years we have already reduced the capabilities of the united states army. this is before sequestration will begin again in 2016. in the last three years the army's active component strength reduced by 80,000. reserve component by 18,000. we have 13 less active component brigade combat teams, eliminated three active aviation brigades, removing over 800 rotary wing aircraft from inventory. we slashed investments in modernization by 25%. we have eliminated our ve

the median family income among whites in the united states is a little bit over $100,000, the median family income among blacks is less than $5000. the expansione vast expansion, the tripling of the prison system in recent decades the reverse of the gains made in higher education, look at the university of california system, by blacks, the great expansion of inequality in this country show that these trends, not only for blacks, but any quality and incarceration for americans generally are not getting better but have gotten much worse. in recent decades. so the history of the black panther party is crucial today because you cannot also sit in against the jim crow. cannot sit in against the new jim crow. you can sit in against jim crow. the civil rights movement dismantle jim crow using nonviolent direct civil disobedience against formal racial subordination. but you can't sit in against a mass incarceration a black. it doesn't work. we need other politics. and so the history of the black panther party is crucial. we cannot afford it to be criminalized. from 1968-1970 for three years the black panther party was at the center of black freedom st

the united states expanding texas oregon this question comes up again when he is in and why he is so -- very interesting why he is so against the policies he previously was so for. he promoted expansion across the north american continent to push out the european powers. what he probably hadn't cob send to allized at that point or maybe just -- is that as you push out you're creating more territory, and a lot of that is below the missouri line and that means not only are you going to get more slave states but if you think about texas, big chunk of land that's lot of states and that means they're going to have a lot of voting power and it's going to be that much more firmly imbedded within the united states of america. so he does think about that. other questions. >> what were the issues that made him -- by 28 was it the clay deal still around? the slavery issue a big thing then? >> what were the issues in '28. 1828. he wins in 1824 and then what happens in 1828? you got it on the first part of the question. the jackson thing. so i talk about the corrupt bargain. gentlemen, gentlemen, in a republic do not run for the presidency. you sit on your porch not even that. you don't even put

expansion the federal government financial condition has significantly improved and the deficit has been cut by two-thirds. advocate for american workers and businesses how much better the united stateshas recovered. it is important to remember this recovery is not an accident but a result of the determination of the american people, the resilience of businesses and policy choices with the prior administration congress and the federal reserve. despite the progress there is more work to do to make sure the economic growth and prosperity is more broadly shared. as part of that the tax reform to help fuel economic growth and encourage businesses to create good high-paying jobs and expand opportunities to have a strong middle class. and has been three years since the president laid out his framework to make sure the system works for everybody. this year were members of both parties can work together to make progress for the american people. on paper we have the highest corporate income tax rate is and though world but in practice there is a wide disparity. some pay little or no tax at all even worse than it allows american companies to shift profits overseas and drives businesses for the

united states. the visa waiver program would also allow us to better focus our finite consular resources. the way to make this expansionwould be to replace the visa refusal rate with the visa overstay rate or some combination, the amount of people from a given country that overstay their visa. it's a more accurate metric and we should be using that instead. it's worth mentioning that the visa waiver program and its reform and expansion have often gotten caught up in the contentious immigration debate. there's no reason to hold the visa waiver program hostage to more contentious elements of immigration reform. congress should consider vwp on its own merits, not on the merits of amnesty. with its many benefits the vis a vis waiver program is more valid than ever, and the u.s. should be using all the intelligence tools at its disposal to find and stop these terrorists. visa waiver program is one of those tools and to stop it or cripple it now would make the u.s. less secure less prosperous and less engaged with friends and allies. instead, we should be looking to improve and expand the program. thank you all. >> great, th
