joe dimaggio was an italian-american. it was an example of immigrant and ethnic assimilation. joe dimaggio was an italian-american. italians had a reputation of having less self-control than british protestants. these were cultural stereotypes. there are known as volatile people. the fact that dimaggio had absorbed this anglo-american, stoic demeanor was a sign that they had made it in america. this is in the 1940's when the expression of prejudicial attitudes about white ethnic groups was still widely accepted. dimaggio was known as the daigo of the yankees. as a term we don't hear much anymore. it was a moderate epithet of descent. mediterranean dissen at this dimaggio had assimilated point, these new ethnic groups. they are adopting this stance of victorian morality. that is the individual, the struggle for self-control within the individual. to have your rational capacity control your emotions. likewise, social policy follows the same model. the whole goal of social policy is to cultivate personal responsibility. do e

the american nurses association and the american hospital association. all of these groups who are the pillars of health care in america saying no, no. this is a disastrous bill and yet we have the republican leadership and a dozen or so members working behind closed doors. mr. president, nobody here has suggested that the affordable care act should not be improved. in my view it should be improved. in my view deductibles are too high. copayments are too high. premiums are too high. and certainly the fact that we're paying twice as much as any other country for prescription drugs, that has got to be dealt with also. so the task right now among sensible people is to put on the table and to be honest about it what are the problems of the affordable care act? how do we lower deductibles? how do we lower copayments? how do we control escalating costs of health care? those are reasonable questions that honest people should debate but the answer is not to throw 23 million americans off of health insurance. that is not a solution to the problem. that is an insu

it very easy to exclude -- african-americans in the south to exclude african-americans from brad swaths of new deal programs inch north carolina there's a large demographic change. people from the north moving in and growing latinos, and people attempts to hold on to the old order. it's not a mistake see the draconian voting laws to allow people to do the same thing they would have been able to do 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. i think the fight is important. it's inextricably tied together so you're on the right path.

we are americans. we may disagree with one another, but we cannot allow those disagreements to change how we treat each other as fellow human beings. i believe we need to change our tone and bring more civility to our political discourse. young people across the country look to us to set an example, and we all must rise to the occasion. this horrible violence will not divide us, and it will not stop us from getting pack to business on behalf of the american people. let us come together as americans, above all else, and keep our good friend, of course, steve scalise and all those affected by the shootings, in our prayers. i yield back, madam speaker. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the time of the gentleman has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? mr. smith: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: mr. speaker, we must speak truth

our president is choosing to put american energy and american industry first. and by his action today president donald trump is choosing to put the forgotten men and women of america first. so with gratitude for his leadership -- [applause] vice president pence: and admiration for his unwavering commitment to the american people, it is now my high honor and distinct privilege to introduce to all of you the president of the united states of america, president donald trump. [applause] president trump: thank you very much. thank you. i would like to begin by addressing the terrorist attack in manila. him and we're closely monitoring him and the situation, and i will continue to give updates if anything happens during this period of time, but it is really very sad as to what's going on throughout the world with terror. our thoughts and our prayers are with all of those affected. before we discuss the paris accord, i'd like to begin with an update on our tremendous, absolutely tremendous economic progress since election day on november 8. the economy is starting to

the american people don't want dedicated slashed. they don't want the help they need to fight opioid addictions, to help their parents in nursing homes, to help those with pre-existing conditions and just to help the average person who needs good health care. the american people don't want all that changed and eliminated. the republican bill is rotten at the core. the american people are not for dramatically cutting their health care. that's why the bill has about 17% popularity in america and even trump voters don't like it. that is not going to change with any little tweak that went over the senator or that. no matter what last-minute amendments are offered, the bill will force americans to spend more of their paychecks on health care to receive fewer benefits so that the wealthiest americans pay less in taxes. until republicans demand it, that core, that rotten core they are not going to succeed winning the american people over and it makes it much less likely the bill succeeds in getting a bill done a week from now, a month from

the american cancer society, the american diabetes association, the american heart association, the american lung association, national alliance on mental illness, national breast cancer coalition, national multiple sclerosis society, and the list goes on and on from organizations that have dedicated themselves to advancing patient health. and on the other side i haven't seen a single, not one patient advocacy group that's came out to support this so-called health care bill. how can that be? if this is good for the health of our fellow citizens, why is it we have a long list of organizations that are dedicated to that cause against it and not one for it? how about health care providers, the folks who help provide the care to our constituents? they're all dead set against it. the nurses, the doctors, the hospitals, the people who have that network of care. i was just out on the eastern shore of maryland, rural part of our state. the rural hospital associations are opposed to this bill. they know that the people they serve are going to be badly hurt. and by the way, it's also going to hurt the

this year 70% of american counties have had little or no choice of insurers under obamacare. next year at least 44 counties are projected to have no choice at all, meaning, yet again, americans could be thrown off their plans in states like missouri and ohio and wisconsin. does it sound like obamacare is working? democrats tell us it would be wrong for the senate to actually address these problems in a serious way while the law they've defended for seven years teeters -- literally teeters -- on the edge of total collapse. they were wrong before, they are wrong again now because obamacare isn't working by nearly any measure it has failed and no amount of lefnth hour denying or buck passing by democrats is going to change the fact that more americans are going to get hurt unless we do something. i regret that our democratic friends made clear early on that they did not want to work with us in a serious way to address the obamacare status quo. but republicans believe we have a responsibility to act and we are for our constituents, for our states and for our country. we've long c

the american people got a good look at the bill. the congressional budget office issued their analysis before we voted on it, and we passed it and i'm glad we did and i'm proud of that vote, but what happened in the senate when it came to the republicans? they went into secrecy. 13 chosen republican senators all sat in a room and wrote the throrn, or so we're told. they met in secret and never once had a public hearing, never once disclosed to the american people what was being debated, never once gave an opportunity for real bipartisan cooperation to strengthen our existing health care system. not at all. so all we have at this moment is truly press accounts of what's been announced to the republican senate caucus, what they're going to get a chance to read and see, but it's enough to see that when it comes down to the basics, there's not much of a change between the house of representatives effort and the senate effort. you know, mr. president, you can put a lace collar on a pit bull and it's still a mean dog. what we have with th

and african-americans volunteers. they bought liberty bostons and volunteered to serve in the in military, volunteered to serve as aid workers and nurses, and often with mixed effects. they -- woodrow wilson said that america was entering world war i to make the world save for democracy but america for african-americans didn't feel very safe or democratic. so very unsure about going to fight for a political principles overseas they were just not receiving at home. so there were those kind of debates. but nonetheless, the major -- a large portion of african-americaned decided the best course of action was to serve, was to do the best they could in the hope that the service, that patriotism, that kind of energy, would be a kind of bargaining chip in a post war reconstruction, would gain them greater rights and be proof to the america at large about the value of their contributions and of their investment in the national project. the earliest kind of texas that it looked at was a little while after american entry. so som

the american involvement in the muslim world is already too large. too much is being done in afghanistan in iraq there is no appetite for sending an army to syria that's very clear very clear in the russian policy appears to be to try and preserve the acid regime as long as possible and the you know the able to do it to a degree the americans do not have a policy of sending an army to remove the answer the same so this thing can continue for god knows how long. you know it's it's not it's a crisis that in a way is simply a very violent expression of a more general crisis which is present for out of the muslim world then no country in the muslim world is in a state of political equality or tell us something in your opinion does america really care that much about assad and the fate of his government and therefore syria as a whole or is it really all about iran and iran's presence in syria for them i mean the white house of course says it's all about this law mixtape but which one of the two do you think is the most important thing for us the u.s. as f

they're part of a very long american tradition, americans use status as taxpayers to define community and to demonstrate worthiness of citizen. the rev luigser in thomas payne says all accumulation of personal property beyond what a map's hands produced is derived to them by living in society and owes on every process of justice gratitude of civilization, back to the society from wence it came. we are in a society indebted to one another and the fact we pay those debts when we pay our taxes is the reason we have the right to be represented by our government. the national women's rights convention in 1866 asked, whim now hold the vast amount of property in the country and pay the full proportion of taxes. on what principle, then do you deny her representation? that link is not something of the revolutionary war of suffragette movement. it continues in our politics today. in 1959, african-american activists in the beaches of miami which was an extremely -- they went to the beaches with the whites only signs and brought with them their property tax receipts. showed they paid to maintain

see once again our president is choosing to put american jobs and american consumers first. our president is choosing to put american energy and american industry first and by this action today, president donald trump is choosing to put the forgotten men and women of america first. so with gratitude for his leadership and admiration for his unwavering commitment to the american people, it's my high honor and distinct privilege to introduce to you the president of the united states of america, president donald trump. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. thank you. i would like to begin by addressing the terrorist attack in manila. we're closely monitoring the situation and i will continue to give updates if anything happens during this period of time but it is really very sad as to what is going on throughout the world with terror. our thoughts and our prayers are with all of those affected. before we discuss the paris accord, i'd like to begin with an update on our tremendous, absolutely tremendous economic progress since election day on november 8th. the economy has started

it would slash tax credits that help americans buy health insurance and it would force 22 million americans off their health insurance and drive up costs for many millions more. that's not bad enough, the senate trumpcare bill does all of this slashing and cutting in large part to give another tax break farrow wealthiest citizens. if this bill becomes law, the very richest americans would get an extra $700 billion in tax breaks over the next decade. if it only affected the millions of americans who depend on medicaid or who purchase insurance on the individual market it would be unconscionable, but it's even worse. let me explain. many of our constituents don't realize that even americans who get their health insurance through their employer, the 150 million americans who get their health insurance through their employer, have benefited from the affordable care act. in fact, i think in some ways the consumer protections put in place by the a.c.a. is the most important accomplishment of that bill. a core requirement of the a.c.a. was that all health insurance plans cover what are known as es

cancer society, american diabetes society, american diabetes association, american heart association, american lung association, american society of clinical oncology, the cystic fibrosis foundation, age united, the childrens hospital association, aarp, the march of dimes, the list goes on and on. instead of reading all of these pages, i will submit them, without objection, for the record. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. pelosi: thank you, mr. speaker. under trumpcare, families, seniors, vulnerable children, americans with disabilities, people struggling to overcome addiction, and the sick will lose their health care. rural hospitals will be closed, nearly two million jobs will be destroyed across america. seven million veterans will lose access to tax credits for health care. and all of this to give a massive tax cut to the richest in america. trumpcare is a billionaire's tax cut disguised as a health care bill. it's robin hood in reverse. one of the largest transfers wealth from working families to the rich in our country. today we have -- within wwe honor of visions

>>richard: it is the voice of the great majority of americans, the forgotten americans, the non-shouters, e non-demonstrators. this, i say to you tonight, is the real voice of america. >>male: nixon brought down the curtain on the liberal '60s that night. he ushered in a long period of polarization that would define the political culture for decades to come. >>richard: thank you. >>male: how he did it is the flip side of the '60s story. >>we want nixon! we want nixon! we want nixon! >>dick: looking back on it, richard nixon seems the man least likely to strike a chord with america in the radical '60s. he was the nation's most famous square. the very caricature of a 50's politician. >>elizabeth: he's a strange person to succeed in politics. he was a loner. he didn't particularly like people.rticularly but he was a very smart man. and a very driven man. >>dick: he projected the image of the ideal family guy, the average joe who wanted the same things most people did. a home in the 'burbs, two kids, two cars, and all the latest household gadgets. america in the prosperous post-war '50s was

and consumers and energy and the american people first. this was a bad deal from the moment it was signed by the last administration. it was never submitted to the senate. it never would have had a chance there. this is an agreement that puts an enormous burden on americans consumers, while allowing countries like india and china to get off scot-free for a decade or more. the president after listening to all sides and listening to european leaders last week, he made a decision to fulfill his word to the american people. to get out of the paris accord but also to leave the door open to the possibility of negotiating a completely new deal were going back into the agreement under terms that will put the american economy and people first. >> sean: i've actually been really fighting for my career lately so i've been a little busy with other topics but i think this is really the only show in america that has listed the president's accomplishments. i noticed when he was in the rose garden today that he went through part of that list. it never see

unfortunately, many americans know it firsthand. the american people deserve better, and they rightly expect us to act. and that's why choosing to watch from the sidelines as obamacare fails is not an option. to say that obamacare has created significant problems for the american people is an understatement. and that's why senate republicans are working to fix the mess created by obamacare and to provide real solutions to this failed law. we want to save the millions of hardworking families who are trapped by obamacare's taxes and mandates. average annual individual market premiums have increased by $2,928, an increase of 105%. since 2013 in the 39 states that use health care -- healt healthcare.gov and 62% of states using healthcare.gov including my home state of south dakota saw premiums double between 2013 and 2017. we will help stabilize these collapsing insurance markets that have left millions of americans with little or no options. today one in three counties has only one insurer on its obamacare exchange. according to c.m.s.

this is from the baltimore afro american aron american newspaper, and says no man is here trough his valet for over 350 years since the prince made above statement, the world has debated on both sides of it. last week, this is elizabeth h. mcduffy white house cook and wife for president roosevelt valet taking stump before audience of 7 in st. louis class roosevelt with lincoln, whose love of fellow men something akin to the define. and here's valet wife to whom her husband employer is hero that is news. but bigger news is the spectacle of the white house cook doing it a swell job as a campaign speaker. this is mcduffy cheered in st. louis, chicago, and gary, indiana, she went to make one speech. did make three, and could have made 24 more before returning to washington in order to cook the president's meals. so she went to a lot of cities that had a large african-american constituency and campaigned for president. federal hatch act it was in lace, and for whatever reason nobody tried to prosecute her under that. but she made such a difference that after the election was over, preside

us share as americans. these expressions of bigotry and intolerance only serve to exacerbate problems. so many have joined in remembering the victims of orlando. we are strongest when we stand united in common purpose for the equality of all americans. it is my sincere hope we will build greater understanding of one another and move closer to ensuring that every american can live free from discrimination and violence of any kind and in a world where everyone is valued and treated with dignity and respect. with that, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new york seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the jerusalem is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to recognize and to express my gratitude to the young men and women who are answering the call to serve in our military upon graduation from high school this year. ms. ten nee: throughout new york's

americans deserve the right choice act. i urge my colleagues to support h.r. 10, and i yield back the balance of my time, mr. speaker. the chair: the gentlelady from california. ms. waters: thank you. i yield one minute to ms. moore, ranking member of the monetary policy and trade subcommittee. the chair: the gentlelady from wisconsin is recognized for one minute. ms. moore: thank you, sir. mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to the wrong choice act. this is a bad bill, and i suspect the republicans are pushing it through with only one hearing because they want to push it past the beleagueured public who lost trillions of dollars of wealth and home value during the last recession. and republicans talk about freedom and community banks is not fooling anyone. this legislation unleashes every blood-thirsty, greedy wall street superpredator back to the american people to feast on our misery like they did pre-dodd-frank. and in contrast, you will actually hear the g.o.p. blame predatory borrowers and say they caused the crisis, li

as we know, it's not simply enough to buy american, we have to sell american all throughout the world. you play a key role there. mr. secretary, currently we have nearly $20 trillion in debt. and you are using extraordinary measures until congress addresses the debt limit later this year. to its credit, the trump budget cuts deficits by $5 trillion. but that still leaves increased in growing national debt of $4 trillion more. absent in your testimony today is any reference to the debt limit. though i know you continue to make the case for action by congress. as treasury secretary, you also serve an important role as managing trustee of the social security and medicare trust funds. together, these two programs are the largest drivers of our debt. more than that, they are under financial duress for the long term. and i worry about them. also absent from your testimony today is any mention of ways or even the need to improve the solvency of these critical programs, which i know we share. as managing trustee, shouldn't we be working to make sure that our children and grandchildren can cou

our president is choosing to put american energy and american industry at first. by his action today, president donald trump is choosing to put the forgotten men and women of america first. so with gratitude for his leadership -- [applause] -- and admiration for his unwavers commitment to the american people, it's my honor to introduce to you the president of the united states of america, president donald trump. [applause] >> thank you very much. thank you. i would like to begin by addressing the terrorist attack in manilla. we're closely monitoring the situation, and i will continue to give updates if anything happens during this period of time. it is really very sad as to what is going on throughout the world with terror. our thoughts and our prayers are with all of those affected. before we discuss the paris accord, i'd like to begin with an update on our tremendous, absolutely tremendous economic progress since election day on november 8. the economy is starting to come back and very, very rapidly. we've added $3.3 trillion in stock market value to our economy

. >> american history tv was at the organization of american historians' annual meeting in new orleans where we spoke with the story and about irish immigration in the 19th century. the interview focuses on his book, "expelling the poor: atlantic seaboard states and the nineteenth-century origins of american immigration policy." about eightew is minutes. >> your research focuses on immigration restriction in the united states. when do you see this begin? >> i think it started in the mid-19th century when a large number of impoverished irish catholic immigrants came to the united states. in response to this immigration, the states of massachusetts and new york developed a series of laws to prohibit the landing of destitute foreigners and to deport those already in the states back to europe. >> were there any federal laws in place at the time? >> not really. federal law had to wait until the late 19th century. before that moment, states and local governments were largely responsible for immigration control. so state governments rather than federal governments are the major administrators

americans -- as immigrants. he said no, those are americans. you come here, you become an american in the 19th century. [laughter] the british said, no, you have a perpetual loyalty to britain trade were born in britain, you will always be in britain. we have every right, especially in the context of new napoleonic worse to impress you and our service. that's what he's referring to in terms of that. that led to the war of 1812, but that very issue in many ways encapsulated his fears for american sovereignty. helped set the context for his reaction to british proposals. then he comes back to the united states after that longperiod of service in britain, and become secretary of state under the munro administrations. while there, he was confronted with two domestic manifestations of the politics of slavery that constantly seems to be grabbing his attention whether he liked it or not. the first one began in 1860 with the american causation society -- the project was to send free african-americans to liberia in western africa. they would get a lot o

americans deserve to know. senators who represent those americans need to know. and they have not seen it yet. yet, there is some discussion they may have to consider that as early as next week. senators and members of this house deserve to know. end the secrecy. pull back the curtain. let us see what's in that bill that these senators think is so embarrassing that it must be hidden from us all. both remind republicans in the house and the senate that their party's control of our government is complete and they will not be held responsible for whatever happens to our health care system on their watch. c.b.o. tells us that 23 million to 24 million people as a result of the house bill would lose their insurance. the pre-existing conditions would be put at risk, that over $800 billion will be cut from medicare and medicaid. mr. speaker, i urge all of us to listen to americans, to hear how beneficial the affordable care act has been. i hope they listen to ola and listen to megan and all those concerned for the put and not huddle in a secret back room making decisions

that's the increase for older americans, working americans. that's the increase. we know that if more older americans lose their health coverage and in turn enter medicare in worse health, our entire medicare system is made weaker and less solvent. and if this bill passes, what happens to older americans who have already spent their life savings in nursing homes? well, we know right now elder americans that are in nursing homes that medicaid actually covers the costs of two out of three of those individuals. in the piece that just ran this past weekend in "the new york times," and i quote, roughly one in three people now turning 65 will require nursing home care at some point during his or her life, one in three. over three-quarters of long stay nursing home residents will eventually be covered by medicaid. many american voters think medicaid is only for low-income adults and their children for people who aren't, quote-unquote, like them, but medicaid is not somebody else's insurance. it is insurance for all of our mothers and fathers and eventually for ourselves.

>> we allow people to appeal to basic fears of americans, some americans. when you start to sell the fear you forget the fact, wait a minute. i actually do like my neighbors. like the undocumented latino family across the street. very nice, very helpful, but we have to stop letting politicians appeal to our most based fears is what i believe. >> w. kamau bell, the season finale airs this sunday, 10:00 p.m., only on cnn. don't miss it. thank you so much. >> smart guy, funny guy. good show. >>> new technology, a great story inspired by "star wars," okay? now helping our wounded veterans. the luke bionic arm is not your average prosthetic, and it is really here and going to be put into effect. you're going to get its demonstration live it is our "good stuff "and for good reason. whoooo. finding the best hotel price is now a safe bet. because tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites - so you save up to 30% on the hotel you want. lock it in. tripadvisor. she pretty much lives in her favorite princess dress. but once a week i let her play sheriff so i can wash
