many mexican-american and african-americans and japanese-americans, particularly after pearl harbor in december of 1941, support what was known as the bb campaign. the vv campaign was victory abroad against hitler, mussolini and fascism, but also victory at home for first class membership in american society. you can't win abroad without also winning at home. that you couldn't fight for american democracy overseas without fighting for equal citizenship on the homefront. this became a fundamental and core principle for many medicatio mexican-american, african-american and other folks. there were some successes in civil rights during the war. franklin delano roosevelt, president during the initial years of world war ii signed executive order that banned discrimination in the workplace and called for fair employment practices and fair housing opportunities. there were also movements against and resistance to siff righsiff -- civil rights progress. remember, we have mexican-american becoming a larger portion, we have african-american migrating internally to big cities across the country. e

they are americans. and the full meaning of that word as any other american. >> during the recent visit we spoke with heather marie the author of beyond contacts about the shift in gender roles in american and vietnamese cultures following the vietnam war. >> the name of my book is beyond combat, women and gender in the vietnam era. i wanted to write this book because as i read the works that have already been written about the vietnam war and as i read contemporary accounts of the war, the presidential documents, media coverage of the war, memoirs, those sort of things, i realized that women themselves were absent from these stories. the ideas about women and gender were central so for example, the ways in which an american president or policymaker referred to vietnam as she. the american man that is going out to bring democracy and spread american foreign-policy. all of these issues were tied into gender so no one knew what the vietnam story would look like if we put women and is gendered ideas at the

it is pro-american immigration reform that the american people want, that the american people deserve, and puts the needs of the working class ahead of the investor class. with that, i would gladly take a few questions. >> you talk about [indiscernible] without becoming law, it will not be implemented. where are they cover mice point for the president? stephen: it has been my spirits in the legislative process that there are two kinds of proposals. there are proposals that can only succeed in the dark of night and proposals that can only succeed in the light of day. this is the latter of those two. the more that we as a country have a national conversation about what kind of immigration system we want and to whom we want to give green cars to, the more momentum -- green cards to, the more momentum to change. look at the polling data in many key battleground states across the country. over time, you will see a massive public push for this kind of legislation. because immigration affects every aspect of our lives. it affects our schools, hospitals, working conditions, labor market, our

american workers and american businesses have only found it harder to keep up with foreign contenders. the rest of the world is running circles around us in this area making it more difficult for american firms to higher, invest, and compete. the time has come to fix this so we can help our economy grow and help the individuals and families we represent realize their true potential. for families we want to make their taxes simpler, fairer, and lower. for small businesses we want to provide the conditions they need to form, invest, and grow. for all american businesses and their employees, we want to ensure they have the best chance to compete with foreign companies and succeed. and we want a tax system that encourages american companies to bring jobs home again. these are some of the key goals of tax reform. they are goals we should all share regardless of party. for years the tax writing committees have focused on this particular subject holding hearings, soliciting input from stakeholders, considering the views and priorities of members of both on and off these committees. they're e

even today, 1 out of 3 muslims is an african-american. there is an african-american. there's a very long history of american islam in that community specifically. there are many lessons to be drawn from that community, the african-american muslim community. that can be and have been of great value recently in times of crisis and targeting, for predominately islam immigrant communities. >> islam has been the country a lot longer than donald trump's family has. [laughter] >> for me, growing up, i've existed in a variety of different communities. i'm from brooklyn. the mosque that i consider my home mosque has been around since the late 1950's. it is the mosque that was founded by malcolm x.. it started out in the nation of islam. then they made the shift into more orthodox islam. we definitely carry on a lot of the good things that -- the good trainings and teachings that were in the nation of islam. some people have very stringent diets still. . we call the pioneers who are 60 and up. a lot of them have a diet that consists of one meal a day or two meals a day, somethi

there were african-american teachers in middle schools who lost their jobs. so there was very much tension between what was going to be gained, which was full access of these neighborhood schools where these african-american children live but also a sense of loss of what were going to happen to these teachers and students in these institutions. the museum was really designed to tell the rights of students in american history. when you enter the building you'll be greeted by a park ranger. and then the focal point is a 25 minute series of films which is set opas a dialogue between a younger woman and older man which basically traces the origins and its replacement with an institution which was every bit as an just which were segregation laws. and then visitors can move into the first gallery of exhibits which looks at the importance of education in the african-american community. and that leads up to the decision to use education as the legal issue whereby the naacp would end-all segregation laws. that was really the wedge issue to integrate and then all the o

one in four americans or almost one in four americans between the ages of 25 and 54 aren't even employed. for african-american workers, their labor force participation rate, who don't have a high school diploma -- african-american males without a high school diploma has plummeted some 40% points since the mass waive of unskilled migration began s. the reality is if you just use common sense, and yes, i will use common sense, the reason why some companies want to bring in more unskilled labor is that they know it drives down wages and reduces labor costs. our question as a government is to whom is our duty? our duty is to u.s. citizens and u.s. workers to promote rising wages for them. if low skilled immigration was an unalloyd good for the economy, then why have we been growing at 1.5% for the last 17 years at a time of unprecedented new low wage arrives. the facts speak for themselves. at some point we're accountable to reality. and the other hand, like i said, you have ultrahigh skilled work wers who are at the back of the line, which makes no sense in the year 2017. kneel, let me go t

american workers first. american workers first. last week in berryville, we democrats began to offer a better deal to the american people. the better deal promises three things -- first, higher wages and better jobs. second, lower everyday expenses. third, the tools workers need to succeed in the 21st century. nothing is more central to creating jobs and increasing take-home pay than rewriting our backward trade laws that have put foreign workers ahead of american workers, that have put big multinational corporations ahead of the needs of hard-working average american families. for far too long, our trade laws have given multinational corporations and foreign competitors a leg up on the american worker. they put the corporate bottom line ahead of the workers' bottom line. today, we democrats are proposing a better deal for workers, with tough, tough trade laws that finally, finally put american workers first. in addition to the ideas my colleagues have laid out, today, we are also calling for the creation of

comeroblems we have today african-americans have a relationship with the american economy similar to the caboose on the train. when the train speeds up, the caboose speeds up. things,atural order of the caboose never catches up with the engine. we need to devote our attention to moving that caboose closer to the engines of the train -- so the train can continue to its destination. larry calling from north carolina. larry is a republican. good morning, larry. caller: good morning. to make a couple of comments. -- anderson guest: booker t. washington made the speech. debois opposed booker t. washington. caller: yes, he did. the other thing that happened in 1895 that he left his farm in mississippi -- he started his andation in 1895 in harvard wrote several good books after that. he had a protege named rayford logan who's written several good books on black history. washingtonoker t. wrote a slavery book -- it was a great book. caller: there is a great literature on african american history, yes. caller: there's plenty of solutions. those solutions do not involve -- it involves the blac

and not just the american politicians but the american generals to say that it cost billions of dollars thousands of lives and we've been wrong yet the chances of that happening the chances of that happening on the american side i don't know looks less and this likely but i as an afghan have the right to seek peace for my country and to do all i can to bring that peace what should i do is advise the americans as i've been doing or do is remind americans which is told americans that they've been making mistakes and that the way they are doing things will not work second what should i do is also bring in the major powers of this world who are incidentally all of them our neighbors russia china india and iran and also pakistan as a country of our neighbor and for that reason. to be an environment of cooperation between them and the united states of ganesan as we had initially when we started this campaign now i would like to discuss the recent strides our efforts in in the region diplomacy but before we go there i want to ask you specifically about the united states because. with the trump

and american workers. ultimately, this has to be a part of that. all, let's have some statistics. there have been a lot of studies that don't show a correlation between low skilled immigration and the loss of jobs. site for me, if you could, one or two studies with specific numbers that prove the correlation between those two things because your entire policies based on that. secondly, sources have told me you pushedth ago, ever structure out of the way to do immigration. why is this more important than if a structure? >> the most recent street at would point to is the study from george borjas. he went back and opened up the old data and talked about how it actually did reduce wages for workers living there at the time. borjas has an enormous out the research on this. >> [indiscernible] study saidrecent that as much as $300 billion a year may be lost because of our current immigration system. there's also common sense here, folks. at the end of the day, why do special interests want to bring in more low sk

it is pro-american immigration reform that the american people want, that the american people deserve, and that puts needs of working class ahead of the investor class. so with that, i would gladly take a few questions. >> thank you, stephen. you talked about the president wants to implement it, obviously doesn't become law it won't be implemented. there are resistance even from republicans the day you're rolling out this plan. how do you plan to overcome that? what are the compromise points between the president and this white house? >> it is my experience in the legislative process, there are two kind of proposals. proposalses only succeed in the dark of night. and proposals only succeed in the light of day. this is the latter of those two. the more we as a country have a national conversation about what kind of immigration system we want and to whom we want to give green cards to the more unstoppable momentum for something like this becomes. >> there is room for change? >> public is so immense on this. look at polling data in many key batground states across the country, over time

built to ensure every american could achieve their american dream, whatever it might be. like others, i think president reagan would be pretty disappointed in the tax code we have today. fairness has been replaced with favoritism for washington special interest. simplicity and certainty has been replaced with complexity. incrediblen from people who cannot hope to understand the tax code. competitiveness, that's become a casualty of washington's inaction. america, it was designed to allow america and our businesses to compete around the world. but in those 31 years, america has fallen so far behind. it's our competitors. they are inspired by president reagan and who moved forward to improve their tax codes in order to compete and win against us. it's our competitors around the world who move to lower their rates for families and businesses. they one upped america by simplifying their tax code. so their businesses can compete around the world and create jobs locally. through that, they have left america in the dust. inspired by president reagan, they're continuing to run ah

the jacl is an organization that has been a part of japanese american and certainly american history since it formed as way to collectively deal with the traumatic internment process. to talk about the evolution of that involvement and how the organization remains relevant today, we are proud to have the jacl national president, gary mayeda, with us today. he was elected to lead the jacl last year, but has been a part of the organization primarily in the los angeles area for over 35 years. gary, welcome. gary mayeda: thank you, robert. glad to be here. robert: give us a little background, first of all, on your family and maybe how it led to your involvement with the jacl. gary: sure, sure. my father was interned in the america's concentration camps, too. he was in heart mountain and later in tule lake. him, my aunt, my uncles, and my grandmother were all there, and they were there for--even though we talk about camps per se, it was an event that incurred 1,335 days of their lives. so, it's not something that's small, it's something that impacted them a great deal. robert: and, yeah,

and not just american politicians but the american generals to do this to say that it cost billions of dollars thousands of lives to move in the wrong you know the chances of that happening. the chances of that happening on the american side i don't know looks listen this likely but i as an afghan have the right to seek peace from my country into do all i can to bring that peace what should i do is advise the americans as i've been doing or do is remind americans which is told americans that they've been making mistakes and that the way they are doing things will not work second or should i do is also bring in the major powers of this world who are incidentally all of them our neighbors russia china india iran and also pakistan as a country of our neighbor and for that reason. to be an environment of cooperation between them and the united states and afghanistan as we had initially when we started this campaign now i would like to discuss the recent strides our efforts in in the region diplomacy but before we go there i want to ask you specifically about the united states because. w

it is called the american family. they take the same oath, fight for the same flag, and live .ccording to the same law they are bound together by common purpose, mutual trust, and selfless devotion to our .ation and to each other the soldier understands what we as a nation too often forget. a wound inflicted upon a single member of our community is a .ound inflicted upon us all when one part of america hurts, we all hurt. citizen suffers an injustice, we all suffer together. loyalty to our nation demands loyalty to one another. love for america requires love for all of its people. when we open our hearts to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice, no place for bigotry, and no tolerance for hate. the young men and women we send wars abroad deserve to return to a country that is not at war with itself at home. we cannot remain a force for peace in the world if we are not at with each other. to defeat our bravest our enemies overseas, and we will always win, let us find the courage to heal our divisions within. let us

they one of our administration, president trump has been fighting for american jobs and american workers and optimism is sweeping across the country. businesses, large and small have created more than one million new jobs this year. unemployment has not been this low in 16 years and more americans are working than ever before. president donald trump is renewing america's strength and protecting our people at home and abroad. rest assured, this president knows what america -- that america's strength ultimately comes from our faith and our commitment to our most cherished values. that is why he has stood without apology for the god-given gifts and shrines in the constitutions of the united states of america. usa, usa, usa. that issident pence: also why this president knows that when we are united, there is nothing we can't accomplish together. tonight, you will get a president speak about his agenda and his vision to make america great again. the reason this president also wanted you to hear from these great leaders is because president donald trump knows the greatest source of america's s

that is because the american people do not have confidence to do with immigration. 62% of americans favor the principles behind this bill. what we can do is take common sense incremental steps that will improve our green card system while also giving the american people more confidence that washington is finally looking out for their interests. and maybe that confidence will carry over to future immigration debate as well. thank you, guys. thank you, all.

it really paralyzed american thinking. americans estimated that there is some sort of guerrilla war in the alps. that it could drink world war ii up by two more years. so when they saw an opportunity to fight in italy and capture the troops are surrender that was something they had to jump on you can set say the only problem and they learn pretty quickly that the german officers that stalin pretty much blew a gasket. he had spent the entire war worrying that the u.s. and britain were some sort of deal with germany. the three of them would gang up on them and this looked exactly like this sort of thinks he had feared all along. there were weeks of bitter transmissions between stalin and roosevelt were stolen accused the americans of operating behind their back and roosevelt tried to calm him down. roosevelt got irritated and historians looks toward these exchanges is the beginning of the cold war. another problem was wolf was not interested in surrounding in italy. the most dangerous was that the head of the ss in germany f

it is one of the countries that appears to americans as a front tear, as a place where americans can interact with the leaders and the people and a place that is like america in some respects, being conduct nenttine and there can be a special relationship. that's a complex reaction from the russians and often lots of -- lots of disappointment. so i daresay i think we should have some kind of like, you know, an emotion off or something, where we have a group of historians presented with kind of evidence of -- reflecting the background and so forth and the writing of any number of historical figures, people involved in american foreign policy as well as other fields, and let's see if we can analyze the emotional components of this. i think we can. i think there's an awful lot there because policymakers as andy rotter said many years ago are human beings. not only do they need bathroom breaks at times, but they also -- you know what i'm saying -- but the policymakers are people. they bring into their business their dreams, their aspirations, their frustrations, their backgrounds. as i h

it should help american workers get a decent pay raise and have a higher standard of living. two, it should help promote economic growth and make america we can all agree the goals of our nation's immigration system should be to protect the interest of working americans, including the immigrants and talented individuals who come here legally and want to work and make a better life for themselves. these workers can add value to our economy and achieve their own version of the american dream. what we are talking about is simple, and measured and rational approach. president trump: i want to state that the stock market had an all-time record high today, over 22,000. we have a growth rate, a gdp, which has been much higher than, as you know, anybody us.cipated, except maybe but it is going to go on. it is going to go higher, too. can see, jobs are flowing back into the country, factories and plants flowing back in the country. we're going to start making product in america again. as i mentioned earlier, foxconn will spend $10 billion in wisconsin and other places. i think the $10

your job is to represent american families, american people, american workers. good job. it's your job. you need to represent them on the board appeared on taxes. on health care, one vote. and on every other issue that affects their lives. and for our friends in the senate... oh, boy. the senate, remember this, the senate -- we have to get rid of what is called "the filibuster rule." we have to. and if we don't, the republicans will never get anything passed. you're wasting your time. we have to get rid of the filibuster rule right now. right now, we need 60 votes and be a 52 republicans. that means that eight democrats are controlling all of this legislature. we have over 200 bills. [boos] >> president trump: and we have to speak to mitch and everybody. i want to tell you. we have some great, great republican senators. we really do. and they fought like hell to get that thing approved. they fought. they really did. they really fought. even on health care, because of reconciliation which you don't know -- it doesn't matter, it's a trick. we needed 51 votes. when you need

some americans, some writtens. i want you to have a full slice of opinion about religion and the revolution from various vantage points. let's begin with this man, john adams. this is a portrait of him in old age, toothless, but he's looking back at this time on the revolution of almost 50 years ago. almost half a century before and adams who presumably knew something about the causes of the revolution, yes? adams wrote, the revolution was effected before the war commenced. the revolution was in the hearts and minds of the people and a change in the religious sentiments of their duties and obligations, this letter from adams to hezekiah niles in 1818. i want to note that in our sort of overarching text and gordon woods, american revolution on page 3 he has a quotation from adams from this letter, but he leaves out the portion that has to do with their religious duties and obligations, and i'm not accusing him. don't hear me accusing him of any slight of hand. i'm just saying that this tends to drop out in the accou

american men in addition to that the seven member council that includes the mayor. at one point during our michael brown to incident there was only one african-american on that council and now we have three so that's some progress and like you said when the d.o.j. investigation came out it revealed a lot of systemic racism and that african-americans were wrongly targeted and the the city they had like two options they were going to sign a legal decree with the department of justice or they were going to use legal action so of course they decided yes we're going to sign this we go to clear we don't want to face legal action but they said that they were going to reform the police department and since then allegedly they have been working on hiring and training officers but as we saw in my package the associated press investigation is basically saying you can do all the hiring you want you can do all the training you want but mentally if the person is consciously or unconsciously afraid of african-american men by the way they were brought out what they see on televisio

had nothing to do with what we saw yesterday what was an affront to the american values, the american ideal. was an affront to every person, and should be every person who cherishes democracy and equality in this country and signal to african-americans and latinos and members of the lgbt community that were under attack as well. and muslim groups that we are not going to be protected and that the president did not say he will not tolerate white supremacy. and if he said it this weekend, it would not be believed until it's followed by policies. and so what we have to see is members of congress, those who condemn the president, also taking steps by their actions not just by their words that they stand against this. you can't confirm a judicial nominee who was a blogger who cited to white nationalist sites and you vote for hiss confirmation, like 51 senators voted for john bush just two weeks and then say you stand against white supremacy. you have to show by your actions that the people of this country have a right to expect from their leaders. >> you see the diplomatic reception room,

also options to take advantage of opportunities to secure the american people and protect the american people and promote american prosperity. >> should his word be taken on national security policy or not? >> i have not seen anything he said lately. i've been folk -- >> he said rex tillerson -- when he said everybody can sleep well at night, he said to the bbc, we should not take him at his word. military matters aren't his lane. >> we should always take secretary of state tillerson at his word. he is a talented leader and diplomat. what's different i think about president trump's approach in this administration is we have been able to achieve a very high integration of military efforts but really military efforts to support diplomatic efforts and economic efforts. i think what you are seeing with the problems associated with north korea but others as well is a tight integration of all elements of national power done so in an effort to move forward with our allies and partners. >> you have -- this was this memo written by a gentleman you have fired, richard higgins. it was frankly som

the president of the united states said i'm taking a stand today for american workers in the american economy and we are putting american families first on immigration. it is a major event and all of you in your news organization should take a hard look at the polls on these questions and see where folks are and see that this is an issue that is supported by democrats, independents and republicans across the board. a lot of energy from upfront here. why did the senators who are with the president call it modest. and aside from that do you think that this is suggesting that this is immigration reform. the answer is it is the divide between how americans think about immigration and how washington thinks about it. every day america's -- americans this is the most rational common sense basic thing you can do. you shouldn't had foreign workers displacing american workers. in washington it represents a change. i guarantee you go to an end board for a couple of your papers and they will see it as a seat change. this is the most common sense thing or she will say it's the most common sense th

many mexican-americans and african-americans and japanese-americans particularly after pearlse harbor in decembe 1941 support what was known as the double v campaign. the double vpa campaign was victory abroad against hitler, mous mous mussolini, you can't win abroad without also winning at home. that you couldn't fight for american democracy overseast yo without fighting for equal citizenship on the home front. this became a fundamental and core principle for many mexican-american, african-american and other fo s folks. there were some successes in civil rights during the war. franklin delano roosevelt, president during the initial years of world war ii signed executive i order 8802 that band discrimination in the workplace and called for fair employment practices and fair housing opportunities. there were also movements against and resistance to civil rights progress. remember, we have mexicans becoming a larger portion of american urban populations. we have african-americans migrating internally to big cities across the country and by the time we get to the end of the war and evenh

no, i'm a mexican american. actually mexican sicilian american which complicates things. that these efforts to water down this american context is absurd we are the largest population of immigrants now in the united states. americans of mexican descent. and i'm all for specificity as well and not apologizing for being mexicano. i want to contest the book is highly autobiographical so there are some parts about what i suffered through in the book. it's called seductive hallucinations of the mexican and america and they are delightful because they are memorable and they are memorable because they are delightful and we are caught in the circus, so i think what the book does is try to exercise 160 years of cultural history. for anyone who likes hollywood, i think they will enjoy the book. i sister works in hollywood and i am a big mass media fan. i'm not an ethnic studies professor that attacks hollywood and the big evil person. it's not a black-and-white book. it's a book by an english professor who was basically raised by a television set and was said at the teat of the int

how many americans citizens did robert e. lee kill? how many american soldiers did he kill? the south seceded. they were no longer part of america. robert e. lee was a traitor along with the rest of these people. he killed american soldiers and american citizens and these people idolize him. he's like a god. that doesn't make any sense to me. trump will not denounce these people. they are a big part of his base and a big part of the republican party. thank you. your callse taking getting your reaction to yesterday's violence in charlottesville, virginia. we also welcome your comments for charlottesville residents. here is david in middletown, new jersey. go ahead. good morning, c-span. the best channel on television. good morning. it's good to talk to you. i have called on numerous occasions. young world war ii veteran. i watch yesterday in horror and anger at what was going on in charlottesville virginia. i want to complement governor for theauliffe wonderful things that he said about these white supremacists that live in our country. he told them to get out of virginia and
