they can speak in a soft voice, thundering voice. if that person is authentic, they have a possibility of making that connection, that emotional connection with the audience, changing the audience. it's important to realize the most important relationship, the dynamic, exchange that happens. even when it's a policy speech. even when it's a speech about something legislative. if it is cut and dry, boring and flat, there is no connection. i always coach and encourage speakers to get comfortable with themselves. can they improve, can they speak -- there are things you can tweak. they have to be speaking from core identity. susan: two of the major themes of the speech are women's rights, racial justice, what it means to be american. as you reference, those are some of the earliest topics of speeches made in the 19th century by the abolitionist movement and suffragist movement. let's talk about that aspect of your collection. how did you find those in the age before recorded speeches, and how are you presenting them today? dana: i find th

i think our voice will matter. i'm hoping the generals are listening and i'm hoping the pilots are listening. i've got a call with her allies today. i am trying to get parliaments throughout the world to follow our lead here. to send a clear signal to the russian military what will happen if you get on the road of committing atrocities against ukrainian people. until that putin no the world is no longer indifferent to you. history repeats itself for good and bad. we tend to forget the lessons of the past. appeasement of evil never turns out very well. we have done that for too long when it comes to putin. too many people have been in prison. many people have been poisoned. and what he did where he absolutely decimated civilian population, bombed hospitals not much happened. that needs to change. and when the lessons of history are learned for the good, we are stronger as a world. we will look in the past and find people who stood up to tierney. and over time their actions aged very well. those who stood up to hitle

can you say again how what you see happening and when using lift every voice? >> wherever we are it sets the tone for the meeting that we are going to hold. i wanted to bring up one thought across the board, and that is this has a majesty that lifted above other songs. i've heard it by the college coe choir and so many others but for the first time by the choir at temple square in salt lake city. >> thank you mr. chair. let me ask the director and professor if i could get the answer from the witnesses the question that we need to present to america is the fact that no matter who you are a comfort of standing, sitting or hearing the song because we are voting on not the black hymnal but the national and i think we have to make it clear no matter who we are there is a unifying sense so if you would go to answering that to get that on the record it would make it an appropriate national. lift every voice and function in that way in outlying religious studies. >> thank you. my apologies. i lost sound. various communities and traditions from jewish to various christi

and what is simple they are, but they cannot even voice this position, because voicing this position, name will mean big trouble for them. and i think that medinsky here, uh, well, acted as a person who opened the eyes, including the ukrainian elite , as to what kind of proposals in writing. uh, as far as i understand, these have not been confirmed

it's very diabolical attempts by the west q sensor and silence another voice, another international voice. and i think that all press should be very worried because if they can just take away our license, then they can do it to anyone in greece, hundreds of farmers, it took to the streets of athens on friday to protest against drastically rising fuel and fertilizer prices. connected with that use essential against russia. they say their production costs are now so high that they are having to significantly cut back their businesses. the greek government has already reduced the sales tax on fertilizers by almost half and is offering other support measures as well. but farmers say help just not enough. airport workers in pizza have refused to load boxes. they say contained weaponry disguise as humanitarian aid for ukraine. they say the arms were 1st to be sent to us and nato bases in poland, and then provided to ukraine. and italian trade union has called for a protest to take place outside the airport on sunday. a huge portrait of prominence, classic russian novelist, fyodor dostoevsky was

too often, they are denied a voice and a fair chance to do anything about it.ay we send a clear and strong message that we stand with you for safety, dignity and justice. in my state of the union, i said i disagreed with the notion that we can't work together on important things. last year, i signed 80 bipartisan bills into law from preventing government shutdowns to reforming the military justice system as kristin knows very well, on a whole range of issues related to how women are treated. today i am proud to sign another bipartisan bill into law. and i want to thank the many champions of this bill, the vice president, cheri bustos, good to see you, sir, kent buck, morgan griffith, pamela, where is she? there you are, good to see you. and senators kristen gillibrand, and lindsey graham... [laughter] by the way, lindsay used to be a really close friend. i'm going to work on it again. and dick durbin, i'm living 70 people out but look, for the folks at home this is what this law is going to do. women are forced to face sexual harassment and assault on the job,

another voice, another international voice, and i think that all press should be very worried because if they can just take away our license, then they can do it to anyone. russia has provided further evidence to the un security council that it says proves biological weapons were being developed in ukraine under a u. s. and nato program, or us correspondent, kill him up in comments. russia presented evidence of what it says we're biological weapons facilities tied to the pentagon. they were operating in ukraine and have significantly put the health of the people in the region in danger. this is what russian representative and ambassador benzo had to say before the un security council about what sounds like a very, very serious matter onion and i mean the documents that we have shared this morning . you can see one called the technical assistance plan for certain recipients of the ukrainian ministry of defense. i recommend you look through this document very carefully. it confirms the pentagons direct funding and supervision of military and biological projects in ukraine. the total fun

oh yes, i see you hear my voice. i said don't did a picture. was she upset after that? no, he was not. he was very happy. the interview is not the big news. the cut off is the big thing. it was. he was so happy for the interview. disruption was widely reported. voice of america insisted that the decision to pull the plug was based on journalist principles and not influenced by beijing or the u. s. government. but for many and the overseas chinese community, they could only be one explanation. i think this man must be telling the truth. that's why our chinese government. so unhappy with an interview, when you ha, john pan migrated from china to australia in 2010 for years he led a quiet life as a computer engineer. but then he discovered for one way, at that time i think whole, i'm in fired off as full of passion in inside of me. finally, we can change china from a to tal atara regina to a democracy. roeburn. we got your hand by the use, our leak in the pan started live streaming on twitter, youtube, hoping to amplify and defend was views for any. over time, he built up

. tattoo voice voice, it seems, yes, remember? made two identical tattoos for fun, and the voices are unpleasant. mikhail voronkov katya said that the second entrance. well, then let 's hope voronkov hasn't moved anywhere and we won't have to run around all over moscow . now try to take it. do not rush. we'll call soon, everything will be all right. here we have alive. well, what do you have there? well, in short, the injury seems to have passed more revealingly. soon you will arrive, they will figure it out like this, and you have a wow lookout here. and now it’s clear to lie that voronkov made bags that he found in the garage. okay, we'll figure it out. so let's get this arkharovsky then. village. you see, grab a little. and i'll wait with the ambulance funnel with him to the hospital so well. yes, lyosha understood. let's send the car. well, what is there? well, what a funnel you will soon have for what and will be brought, and what about the second, but i draw up the second, so look, his name is. igor ivanovich ram. was not in

and that they are simply, but even this position they cannot voice, because voicing this position, the name will mean big trouble for them. and i believe that medinsky is here uh, uh acted as a person who opened the eyes, including the ukrainian elite as to what kind of proposals in writing. i was, as i understand it, not confirmed by these open eyes. after that, well, it’s just here that the ukrainian delegation maneuvered all this time, telling one thing at the negotiation process, and telling another in kiev that we are there, which means we demand the return of crimea and that the withdrawal of troops is continuous, and we are here and so further. now that we finally got a piece of paper from them. we took them by the tongue and nailed to the table with a large nail. and this was done by medinsky, he showed that here are the comrades, what they are already agreeing on, that they did not cover up. they tell me they are not sold. they are already with monkey status. they are already for control and there will be no military exercises and many, many other things. comrades and. and, of

they are way frayed of even a single voice coming out as challenging the power elite, questioning them, daring to hold a dissenting view and they are afraid because their arguments are so weak that they know they will not withstand the light of the truth. and this is why we are seeing not only fill most of the mainstream media, very vigorously defending and mush pushing the biden propaganda, it's not enough, they are going to youtubers, they are going to tiktokers, it's not enough that they also have google and big tech basically working for them and with them to control what information we see and what information we don't see. none of this is enough. because they won't stop. and it's not just the biden administration. it's not just democrats. it's the power elite. it's the neocons and neo libs working together to make sure that every single voice in this country, anybody who has got a platform is spowding their narrative that they want people to see and hear. their propaganda. and this is what is so dangerous about the place that we are in right now. as a country. where this idea, th

she also had a voice that was a real voice with a real with real opinions and her column. my day was just an extraordinary in that way as indicated newscom newspaper column that appeared every morning. no first lady had ever done anything like that from 1935 until her death. she connected to people as a neighbor as a concerned citizen as a friend as first lady in a voice. that was so familiar. it would be a voice that you would want to respond to want to do something want to contribute. she had a continuousness in writing and in her voice and in her appearances in the newsreel, you saw so much more of the first lady you heard her. out her presence in ways that that didn't repeat itself for years. in fact. i'll lead why don't you talk about the white house years children just use a quote here from david's book a justice douglas said fdr had few around him, except eleanor who told him he was wrong. she was his antenna and i noticed he usually followed her advice a jim farley fdr had complete faith in her judgment and her ability to observe just maybe a few words about eleano

i think having my voice was important. that is where my passion lies when the opportunity to lead an office in such a new space came up. i couldn't turn it down. i was with the district attorney's office for a little over nine years, if you include the time as an intern as well as volunteer da, all most 13 years. during the time with the da's office i had an opportunity to serve the community not only as the assistant district attorney but as director of community relations. that afforded the opportunity to have impact on the community in an immediate way. it is one thing to work to serve the rights of those without rights, victims. it is really rewarding to work to to further the goals of our office and the commitment we have as city employees and advocates for people who don't have a voice. i don't know of anyone surprised to see me in this role. maybe people have an impression what the director of the office of cannabis should be like, what their beliefs should be. i smash all of that. you grew up in the inner city of s

the voices, it's the loudest.tements rooted in pure ignorance, which there is a large swath of ingredients within today's gop. is it malice? or is it values apathetic to the west? i think that that bucket is the most dangerous one, because those voices are heard and amplified among large constituency of the country. instagram's right. but that doesn't mean that the message from madison and tucker carlson and others falls on deaf ears. >> yeah, jill, republicans demanded president biden cut off russian oil. that of course has not stopped them for also blaming the president for gas prices. normally i talk to you in your role as a legal analyst, but you are as much as a political observer as anyone. how democrats deal with this kind of bad faith messaging, if not just the politics of this? there is an actual crisis that they are attempting to focus on. >> alicia, this is not just limited to ukraine and gas prices. this is something that the democrats have not adequately dealt with, on any of the issues, because you h

so we saw the report that russia closing down independent media voice is in the countries voice is including d, w. can russians get ins, uncensored information about this war? well, they can, as long as the internet is up and social media functions, then basically people can find independents information about this war. but of course, if they want to, in such situations, there is always a significant part of the population which essentially refers to look to the government, refers to ignore or sometimes wilfully that something is terribly wrong. but apart from moscow and dos, there are schools are the source of the thing is that most critical and endorse the 2 media organizations that were mentioned in the they were actually very, very popular in major metropolis. and now the, those who live in moscow see fit as were other big cities will have to basically go to all the social media to find independent information as well, or the russian. still a lot of them use all the state controlled media which, which is of course presenting a completely different picture. right. and the, despite the gov
