us as a country. it only underscores the raw reality of the reash initiaciald the importance of us as a nation to do somethingr which michael brown is killed is still on the books which allows you to use lethal force against someone suspected of a nonviolent felony. the fact that congress has passed a law to count the number of victims of police misconduct but not actually done anything to address the problem. so we're marching from selma to washington to put boots on the ground that we might put laws on the books. and as one rabbi put it, we're praying with our feet. because i think it's important for us as a nation to grapple with the reality of racism by doing something constructive, affirmative. we've shed a lot of tears and grieved as a country. but it's important to bring about reform because to have violence occur on the anniversary of michael brown's death, both desecrates his memory and detracts us from a mission lifted up in his memory. that is to say, bring about an end to police misconduct. we as a country can do something about this. that's what this is all about. when i think about sandy bland,

the problems that threaten to destroy us as a nation, they are not in a credit problems, they are not republican problems, they are american problems versus unamerican. we are americans first. it makes all the difference in the world. there are many who do not want us to realize that. the other thing we can easily solve with our complex brains are the fiscal problems that face us. we are in the process of destroying the future for the next generation. i spent my whole professional career looking out for the welfare of children. and believe me, i was looking forward to retirement and putting my feet up, but i really couldn't knowing what was going to happen to their future if we continue down the same route. it has been both democrats and republicans who have been blowing up the budget and destroying the future for our young people. we hear about the national debt, $18.5 trillion to $19 trillion. to pay off $18 trillion at a ite of $10 million a day, would take you more than 5000 years. that is what we are putting on the backs of our young people. as thomas jefferson said, that is immo

most blacks have benefited as black americans, at a document this in my book, race and economics, it added income black americans earn each year at thought of us as a nation, it would be the 17th or 18th richest nation in the face of the earth? and thus the medevac that's richer than any nation on the continent of africa. and so you can say the same thing you can say about colonialism. that is, or the conquest of the romans when they took over england, people in england were barbarians. and the romans, they imported navigation, skills and they imported education technology and all the importation of the wisdom of the romans ultimately make great britain the mightiest nation on the face of the earth. and it was because of colonialism. again, i'm not making an argument in favor of colonialism but you can't deny the historical facts. so slavery was a historical fact that i benefit from it. >> thank you dr. williams. you highlighted three things this afternoon, liberty, racial disparity and higher education front. would you concur that one of the principles, principle reasons why we have contempt for liberty is that liberty is very underrepresented and all th

as a nation. it ought to define us as a nation. so we get into this conversation about the role of government, that's where i come from. it comes from a life experience. affordable care act, most important domestic vote i ever cast. 16 million americans now have it comes from a life experience. affordable care act, most important domestic vote i ever cast. 16 million americans now have access to health insurance. the number of uninsured is down by 30%. the rate of growth in health care costs is still at an incline, but it's flattening just enough to give 13 more years of solvency to the medicare system. we can see this is working. it's transforming the delivery of medical services. there are 16 million, or 10 or 11 million fathers not sitting in those rooms without health insurance praying that the right doctor walks through the door. >> i want to go to the audience and ask a question before senator collins gets here. i want to ask you one unfair question. >> not the first. >> if you were in the seat that president obama has, how w

mh-370's disappearance marked us as a nation. we mourn with you as a nation.this malaysia will always remember and honor those who were lost on board mh-370. thank you. >> so we're listening right there to the malaysian prime minister talking about the fact that the fragment of plane wreckage that was found on reunion island is confirmed to be part of the wreckage of mh-370. speaking about the burden and uncertainty of the families 239 families that have had to live through not knowing exactly what happened to their loved ones on that day in march back in 2014 as people have come up short, as investigators have been tirelessly searching for answers. bill nealy is the nbc chief aviation correspondent. bill i assume you could hear what was going on with the press conference but now we have the definitive conclusive evidence that the fragment is from the missing plane. >> yes. we weren't expecting that. that is stunning news and it will be stunning news for the relatives of the passengers and crew on board that plane. thomas it is the great aviation mystery of ou

so we as a narks it is incumbent -- so we as a nation, it is incumbent upon us to take on this challenge. we are the first generation, as has been said by others, the first generation to feel the impact of global warming and the last generation that can do something about it. that's what -- incumbent upon us then the senators in this chamber, the u.s. senate, incumbent upon us to take on this issue incumbent on the presidents and the executive team that they put together to take this on, in partnership with the rest of the world. because this is absolutely a tragedy of the commons. very clearly if the united states takes some action to reduce or carbon dioxide or to dries or methane production, then it will have a modest impact but not enough. nations across the planet have to act. and they will act more or less as a community because very few nations are going to say, we will act alone knowing they won't have enough impact unless other inaugurations join together. -- unless other nations join together. so it is up to our leadership role in the world that we act actively aggressively is

and who should lead us forward as a nation. >> dickerson: you talk about that executive experience, how does it work when you talk to voters who don't trust that whatever experience you have that government can actually work? >> cynicism runs very deep now. for good reason. this is the first decade this side of world war ii where we're all working harder but majority of us are earning the same or less than we were 12 years ago. people understand that unless we can get things done again as a nation, you can less we can make the investments and put back in place things like increase minimum wage when we're going to continue to kind of stumble backwards into the future and our kids have less opportunities than we've had. the reason and way i talk about it is this, we all know can't make our economy work again for all of us unless our government actually works as well. and then i'm able to point to the things that i've done in office to make our government work and make our economy work better. higher rate of job creation than our neighbors north and south. investments in infrastructure and

environment and who is participating and pass them along i think will have dire consequences for us as a nation as far as having an employable group of upcoming students. also, i would like to say that one problem that i have is that education is not changing. one thing that needs to change is cameras in schools. we have no accountability without seeing what is going on in the schools. we have kids saying i am being bullied. we have kids saying we don't do anything in class or i'm being picked on in class. how come our students cannot have their classroom environments monitored so parents and everyone can see what goes on in an education system? maybe that observation would bring bet changes we need. i don't think cutting standardized tests will start. >>> policy change when it comes to warrants. writing that the city announced it would withdraw thousands and taking steps to -- response to the sharp criticism of court system that emerged after killing of michael brown. the measures go beyond a state law set to take effect friday that limits the amount of money municipalities can keep for minor

their survival for us as a nation, as america to play in this fight. instead i want islam i think what we're seeing to great degree and four to this or within islam t put some of it is ideological, so military. some of those military attempts are very much legitimate, objective. lot of them unfortunately in the past couple of years in the middle east have been completely diverted from other political purposes. as the united states we need to be cognizant of the. we need to make sure our position is really one in which creates an environment for diversity of opinions that actually see the light of day. kind o of going back to their statistics. philosophically we need to increase, not we america but we people who want to see this problem more effectively addressed need increase the jurisprudential letters to the masses. on a summit he believes, part of this is based on upon which i will share, i don't believe we need more scholars. very highly qualified until his pages of names on a piece of paper, some who've been for active, doing every thing they can

where will it take us as a trading nation. t, aaron gibbs, equity chief investment officer with s&p capital iq. chris, taking a look at charts, what is an attempt at reversal and failure of reversal mean to you? >> attempt tactically signs of oversold in place. what worries us is this decline is only three days old. i think 2011 playbook actually makes sense here. we had that climatic low in 2011 then undercut that in october. given where we are in the calendar here, given seasonal problems, i still think it's wise to stay patient, wise to wait here. >> to connect the dots, chris and be obvious you're saying in october another pullback. >> i think given weight of the evidence any rally in the short-term is probably not the real good tradeable low. we want more signs of stabilization. i still want to see sentiment wash out a little more. we've started to see it with volatility measures, internally, i don't think survey data as washed out as we like here. >> aaron, do you agree with chris? are you being more cautious using it. >>

the first piece i wrote for buzzfeed as the michael hastings national security fellow. michael, as many of us know, was a tenacious reporter. one of the things i loved about michael was, just how skeptical he was. he didn't trust those in power because they spoke articulately, and wore the types of suits that those in power typically wear. and it's certainly a reminder to me, and hopefully a reminder to all of us, as we watch what happens in congress today. and the award is also very special to me, because i get to share it with my colleagues, who did such fascinating follow-up reporting.

as a progressive. teddy roosevelt nationally was viewed as a progressive with the kind of crust busting he was interested in doing. monopolies,inst child labor -- there were people concerned about the use of children in factories and limited to those. bob opposed war. wilson inor woodrow 1916 even though he was a republican, he voted for him has he believed in wilson's pledge to keep the united states out of the war. in april of 1917, woodrow wilson asked congress to declare war on germany. he was one of -- only six senators to oppose the war. he was concerned that only munitions makers, profiteers with benefits from the, that the people would suffer through the loss of loved ones in the military. he was concerned that the government was not telling the people the hurt -- full cost of the war. his concern was the oppression of civil liberties. in 1917, congress passed the espionage act. that bill had nothing to do it espionage. it was not about spying, it was about suppressing opposition to the war. newspapers could be shut down, and were shut down as a result. people were jailed for their criticism of the war. believed that the bill of rights was not repealed because the united states

a great question. as you joined us. good morning, national urban league. i'm so excited to be here. ink that's a great question in terms of leadership but i would challenge that were as many people leading 10,000 are now. in a lot of ways, now we are in this moment would look back and we reflect to think of probably three liters. but they were just as many later than as that are now. you had so many people who are leading different efforts relating different movements. you have different movements. been a people who are not necessarily leading an organization but who are doing the work on the ground. i think the same thing now that i don't really see a difference in the. i think now we are able to see it listed in real-time. so we see so many leaders and so many movements embassy organizations and we see people who are not affiliated with organizations who are just doing the work on the ground. it's the same thing. >> you bring up a good point saying we are seeing another i think that's a difference between something people say all this is happening but you guys think this is been ha

a message which resonated well among those who saw american progress and prosperity as synonymous with the ability to make ever-larger use of the nation's natural resources. here's a photograph of mills as lecturer. you can see all the props he took along with him, boarding the train for one of his national trips. the appointment to, as forest service lecturer, elevated mills' platform from a regional to a national one. it also allowed him to fine tune his growing preoccupation with conservation and the recreational and aesthetic uses of nature. for the next two years, mills took his message to the nation, well received wherever he went, between october of 1908 and may of 1909 alone, mills made some 140 appearances in 36 states, speaking to educational and civic groups of every kind on the practicality and poetry of forestry and the physical and moral value of getting out of doors to enjoy the spell of nature, often weaving in anecdotes about his own wilderness experience to make a point. his most frequent lecture title was "our friends the trees." here's a copy of the program used to advertise his appearance in humboldt, iowa. today it

long as she was in the white house, not a place where she particularly wanted to be, she would use her position to do as much good as she could. and she connected with a group called the nationalivic federation that had been around for 10 years or so. and they were very interested in trying to clean up these little alleyways in between the bigger streets of washington where there was tumble down shacks, great squalor. they wanted to tear down these buildings and do what we would now call urban renewal. ellen was so interested in this project that she actually took some of the congressmen in the white house car through the alleyways to show them this -- the conditions of these houses that were right behind the capitol. and she lobbied them to pass a bill that would enable this because at that time washington -- washington's government was run by congress, they didn't have their own government. so she was -- i think the first first lady who lobbied for a cause that wasn't her husband outside of the white house and she was very, very effective at doing this. and i don't know if you want to talk about all of what happened here. susan swain: and we'll come back to that story becaus

a bomb? how many think he might actually use it? what are we doing? what are we doing as a nation? if most of you believe that the radical ayatollah would use a bomb if he had it, why would you give him a pathway to it? we are giving him a pathway and the money to pay for it. this is nuts. this is the biggest miscalculation since hitler. it is not between a lousy deal and a war, it is between a lousy deal and a better deal. we need a commander-in-chief they will respect. the problem that we have is that nobody respects our current commander-in-chief. you know how you got a bad deal? you elected somebody president who has never run a lemonade stand or bought a car. we need to re-engage in the mideast. i will get you a better deal. i will go to iran and say if you want a nuclear power plant you can have it. but it's going to be small for peaceful purposes. and you will not get a penny of money or another bullet until you stop destabilizing the region and trying to kill our friends in israel. [applause] senator graham: and if you want a war, you are going to lose. it is up to you. i do

of all wild life and habitat in the african nations and provides the first line of defense against poaching and much more. it's a conservation tool. it's used as a tool. there have been regional and national and international workshops on how to save the african lion. in each case hunting was the solution and method of saving african lion in the wild. >> most habitat for lion. how is that? >> to quote fish and wildlife service it said the amount of habitat fortrophy hunting increased range for lions and prey base. that is findings of the fish and wildlife service. hunting has not been perceived to be the problem but the solution. most countries the largest part of lion range is in the hunting areas. let me give you an example. the largest remaining lion population is in tanzania. their hunting areas are five times larger than all national parks in kenya. you eliminated, did anything to compromise that habitat and that prey base you would eliminate half the lion in africa. that is one sample. >> how does it work in a country like tanzania, these hunting parks? who owns them? how does an american hunter or any other hunter get to there? and how

a nation of laws. as i listen to this discussion we are a nation of laws. it's what distinguishes us as a civilized society. and in this countryerse we, we don't discriminate when it comes to the application of the law. in fact, the fifth amendment of our constitution equal protection docktrine says it requires us, people in similar circumstances are to be treated in the same way, in similar ways. and as i think about sanctuary cities and how they have been applied and how we have discussed them in this context how has this continued on? how do we continue to accept sanctuary cities and its selective application of law? i would say historically, americans would view the selective enforcement of laws as a sign of tyrannical government. it's intarantly unjust. it's a blatant misuse and abuse of power to allow for such an environment to exist. i'm wondering how we expect americans to respect the rule of law if the administration's policy is to enforce them based solely on edicts from rulers rather than from actual rule of law? >> is your question with regard to sanctuary cities? >> it i

>> reporter: declaring these mountains a national monument would have protected them, but would have left many details unresolved. as a wildernesses area, the uses of the land are more strictly defined. the boulder-white clouds mountains have had some federal protection since 1972, when then-governor cecil andrus stopped a molybdenum mine from being built at the base of castle peak mountain. andrus, who also served as interior secretary under president carter, initially urged president obama to use his executive authority to protect the boulder white clouds by declaring them a national monument. craig gehrke is the idaho director of the wilderness society. >> there was still a big question in our mind whether or not a congress could really do anything anymore. so we continued with our monument effort, >> reporter: but congressman simpson decided to make another run at declaring the mountains a wilderness area and got his bill through the house in july. idaho senator james risch, who previously opposed the bill, agreed to sponsor the senate version. >> what congressman simpson was able to do is to get everybody to the table in a very collaborativ

a 16-year-old cadet serving in china, he said his naive nationalism gave way to reality of war. he saw soldiers use military brothels, fight and kill chinese civilians. he would serve as a soviet prisoner in siberia. >> i myself did not kill an enemy or participate in a combative act. but others abused and humiliated people. that's an inescapable truth. it was a military of aggression. >> 70 years on japan is in the throws of a debate of how large a shadow that history should still cast. an 11-year-old boy when his father's speech was broadcast to the nation. today his message is one of peace and condolence. >> reflecting on our past, and bearing on mind the feeling of the ravages of war, i pay my heartfelt tribute to all those who lost their lives. >> japan's prime minister pledged that they would never repeat the horrors of war, and many used this occasion to talk about damage done to asian napers. on friday, marking this day, they called on japan to up hold its agreements through its actions. >> neither beijing nor seoul would be impressed that prime minister abe sent a donation to the memorial where many are honored. shinzo wants to use this as an opportunity to,
