yet by 1942, no african-american was more loved among white and black americans as joe louis. his triumph in 1938, coupled with his patriotic announcement rendered him a potent symbol. administrators affirmed his political import as the brown bomber stood for heroism unity, and a part of the armed forces, black military participation. in september of 1943, lewis headed a boxing to along with nicholson, sugar ray robinson and george j. wilson under the army special service division to tour army camps in the u.s. and abroad. tour also to her -- serve the purpose of both in a team and athletic training. it could diminish racism by promoting black men who promote good sportsmanship and teamwork. influences 46 months of army, he fought 96 exhibition in the u.s. and in england, france and italy. this experience gave louis the opportunity to witness the racism and poor conditions within black army camps. his most public challenge to racial discrimination was his refusal to fight or speak in front of segregated audiences. indicating that the boston tour was "not for anyone raised grou

the reality is that when rural hospitals and the american cancer society and the american diabetes association when americans rose up not on personal grounds that health care grounds to stop that what happened was the trump administration republicans decided to try to kill it including the poison pill they put in the tax measure that recently passed. as a result you are seeing these rapidly increasing costs including one of the plants and maryland calling for a 91% increase. i just want to read a quote from chad burwell who minced no words as to the cost here in a quote and this is from the chair. first continuing action on the part of the administration to systematically undermine the market and make it almost impossible to carry out the mission. that's why health care costs are are going up. the american people are onto it and i can assure you our colleagues will continue every weekend to bring those costs down. we are fighting the republican congress that is determined to take us in another direction. they were public and budget cutting medicare and a call for cutting medicaid by a trillion

he came prishesly detained american -- capriciously detained american citizens, robbed them of their freedom, didn't let them go home to their families. their release should not be exulted, it should be expected. it is no great accomplishment of kim jong-un to do this. when the president does it, he weakens american foreign policy and puts americans at risk around the world. if other of our -- if our adversaries look at what the president has said in reaction to kim jong-un, why shouldn't they detain american citizens and get a huge pat on the back when they release them? it's like so many of the president's foreign policy actions. quick, not thought through, related to show and to ego. when nations -- if our adversaries from iran to china who already hold wrongful americans think they can get something, praise, standing, diplomatic concessions by unlawfully detaining americans in their country, you can bet they'll try. these are bad people. the leaders of these dictatorships like iran. so i caution the administration. we're all rooting for diplomacy to succeed on the korean peninsul

jim: and we says, "you know, we're american citizens. we have american right. we have rights that citizens have, american citizens have. and first of all," we says, "you can't do this to american citizens." they says, "you guys are not american citizens. you're 4c, you're enemy aliens." so we says, "no, we're not enemy aliens. we're american citizens, and that our constitution, bill of rights all say these things can't happen to american citizens without due process of the law." robert: what was the challenge in making this a film, and what was it that you wanted to make sure got across in terms of his story? jesse: the main challenge of making a film with a young man like mr. tanimoto was keeping up with him. jim walks many miles every day. he gets up very early. as he said, he's a farmer. he's used to long hours and hard work, and he's a very spry young man at 94. robert: and what did you wanna make sure came across in his story? jesse: i wanted to make sure people understood that jim is someone who actually lived through these events that i think are even mo

that is a part of american character and american history. president trumpin this to the foreground because he is the president of a new, emergent white identity politics. imply called itself american before. president obama as a role to play in this because these are the two facets of american character. they have always been with us. the issue is that if we get wrapped up in a domestic discussion about obama versus tr we forget that oma tends to represent some of the worst instincts of the american character overseas in terms of the continuing exertion of american imperial power. having a president as nice and articulate as president obama did not really change these policies. home, some of his closest immigrant rights allies ended up calling him t deported in chief. he deported millions and millions of iigrants to this country. viet: despite their rhetoric and praise, yes, they were responsible for various kinds of policies that had negative impacts oninity populations. and those of us who consider ourselves to be progressives and on the s

pm trudeau: putting aluminum, american planes, and steele in american tanks. considered abe national security threat to the united states, that's inconceivable. will harm industry and workers on both sides of the canada-u.s. border, disrupting link supply chains that have made north american steele and aluminum more competitive all around the world. [speaking french] will harmariffs industries and workers on both sides of the canada-u.s. border and will disrupt supply chains that have made steele and aluminum from north america more competitive across the whole world. p.m. trudeau: these tariffs are an affront to the long-standing partnership between canada and the united states. and in particular, an affront to the thousands of canadians who have fought and died alongside their american brothers in arms. comrades in arms. the ties of commerce, friendship, and family between americans and canadians are undiminished indeed. they have never been stronger. the government of canada is confident that shared values, geography, and common interests will ultimately ov

and this is the way the american people right now again. 81% of americans feel that schools charge too much. what we do with prosper is give insenttives. we don't tell them what to charge. but we put in place policies that we believe will cause twuse not to continue to rise at such a ry rate and students will get more information so they choose well the programs they go into. also, we are closing out the opportunities that i had and millions of other middle-class americans have had in the pass by pricing post-secondary education too high and making people feel it is not possible. 13% in this country believe that college graduates are well prepared for success in the workplace. something is wrong, mr. speaker. that we have this low a number of people in this country who believe that those who are graduating from college or attending college don't have the skills that they need to take those jobs that are out there available. and what -- there's even more negativity coming from those who employ those who go to college. let me share some other information. only two in five managers believ

former president clinton went to north korea to bring two detained americans home, two american women came home and the imagery was similar to this. it is not a u.s. air force plane but it was this imagery of people coming home and all the questions, is this the opening to make a deal with the north koreans which it happened before the north koreans have made a deal, have come to the table and then broken it. john bolton, the national security adviser who is famous for saying you know the north koreans are lying when their lips are moving and that is the skepticism that you hear from people inside the administration as they look towards making a possible deal with the north koreans and that is healthy skepticism for us to bring also to this as you noted in terms of how we look at this milestone for sure and momentous night for sure especially for these three men, their families, the secretary of state but the north koreans got something they want to too. we may not have given them money or sanctions relief but they got credibility which is the one thing the kim family has always wante

it has given the american people a raw deal. democrats are offering a better deal for our democracy. to save our democracy we are committed to empowering the american voter, to demand responsive government, protecting every citizen's right to vote and their right to have their vote counted as cast. safeguarding our election infrastructure and ending partisan redistricting. next we are striking america's ethics laws to fight the special interests, ending the revolving door in washington and reining in the influence the lobbyist, big money donors and special interests who drive the republican agenda. fixing our broken campaign finance system to combat big money influence, wiping out the scourge of unaccountable, secret, dark money, and overturning citizens united. republican special interests and donor-first agenda is part of their d.n.a. but democrats have a people-first agenda, to put the power back in the happeneds of the american people, we're fixing our broken political system and ensuring government works for everyone. not j

american history tv was at the organization of american historians' annual meeting in sacramento, california, where we spoke with ryan semmes about grant's travels. this is about 20 minutes. mes is anan sem associate professor of your you on subject that a lot of people may not know a lot about, the post-presidency of ulysses s. grant. why? semmes: i had worked generally on ulysses s. grant's presidency, and one of the interesting things about his post-presidency as he took a trip around the world. world tour is pretty common in the 19th century, but grant is the first american president or former president to travel the world. europeers had gone to after the presidency, but grant truly traveled the world. because not only around europe, but also run asia, the caribbean, mexico, and all across the united states in a three-year period after the presidency. steve: including a visit from london, i visit from the queen, what was that significant? it was significant to meet with the queen because other countries of europe looks to queen victoria. there was an interesting anecdote that prior to hi

we, americans, don't let other americans fall through the cracks. whether your family faces a health crisis or layoffs or caring for a new child, we are not going to let you fall into poverty. giving up on this promise is what i believe the republican agenda has done. giving up on this promise is what makes the republican attack so disturbing. it is a promise that we as americans make to other americans that we will have a social safety net that will capture people in their most vulnerable time of need. the tax bill that the republican passed repealed the affordable care act independent mandate and that move drove health care costs for families and will result in 13 million more uninsured americans. it was unnecessary, but it was a step that this administration took. it was a step that ripped from 13 million americans their health insurance. just two months after the passage of the tax bill, president trump proposed a budget, the president's budget. that would cut $500 billion from medicare, $1.4 trillion from medicaid and $72 billion from social se

host: a fully american army under american command. whether people who wanted to take command of the army? guest: the french and british army have this idea called amalgamation, where americans will be put into french and british uniforms and fight under their command. we would not stand for that. woodrow wilson would not accept that, but he did have the compromise. belleau wood was an example of that. he had to send divisions and brigades and sometimes regiments and companies to the front to serve under french or british command for a time. they are wearing their own uniforms, still fighting under their own officers directly but under overall friends were british command. host: where the allies winning the war? guest: they were definitely back on their heels. difference in the gun -- the germans have begun a number of offenses in march and april of 1918 where the allies thought they had their backs to the wall and it was a chance the germans would split apart the french and british armies, drive to the coast. by the end of may 1918, t

market that would be a much better sure way of cutting down the trade surplus than buying american farm produce which even if they bought only american from produce there would not be able to balance the trade to the satisfaction of the americans well i'm mr cheney and i think there could be a legitimate questions about the fairness of all of such pressure because if china wants to develop a high tech industry i think it should be able to do so i mean all the countries india including russia including the united states including do you how you know interest is in the reach they see a potential but that my question to you is somewhat different i wonder if you see any way of addressing the current balance in trade between china and the united states or between the united states and other countries in the way that would be fair to all and that would not destroy or significantly undermined the trade system that has already been suffering quite a lot in recent years it's a good question free trade is founded on fed trade but free trade is not always fair trade free trade becomes fair trade o

american ideology, what is that? >> higher taxes to support the foreign invaders, taking away from my family's needs and dreams. >> that's why i wrote the book. that kind of sentiment should at least be informed by facts. and in a historical perspective. the nation itself has become more economically viable, stronger on the world stage, because we have embraced this changing world around us. the american ideology, if we have a controlling idea, is that we're all created equal and we should have equality of opportunity. we should rise or fall on our merit. wealth of nation. published in 1976. and to me, america is at its best when it has intelligently engaged with the future. and not resisted change. destiny. and i worry that there's a reflective, there's a fear that somehow or another, demographic change is going to erode america. >> good morning. thank you for taking my call. i was just listening in and i heard your reaction to when president trump reacted to the charlottesville, some people lost their lives, unfort

trump should worry that americans will stop believing anything he says. this is directly because of him not telling the truth, not being straight with the american people about this payment. in addition we have had people on fox news channel who are generally very supportive of the president saying to the president you have to tell the truth. stop doing this. you are eroding credibility. aren't you concerned about this? >> i am concerned that you are not listening to the news i just broke. there is a fast moving exchange. i asked the president what he meant. he said i didn't know about it when the payment occurred. i think you are overcomplicating that very simple point. >> you think the answer is as open and honest. >> if that is the truth saying i didn't know it at the time in 2016 when the payment was made do you think the president was as honest and transparent and open as he should have been? he could have said i didn't know about it at the time and i found out about it and when asked do you know where the money came from he could have said i reimbur

americans can't do. absolutely nothing. [cheering and applause] >> in recent years, even decades, too many people have forgotten that truth. they've forgotten that our ancestors trounced an empire tamed a continent, and triumphed over the worst evils in history. in every generation, there have been cynics and critics who try to tear down america. it's not working too well lately. but in recent years the problem grew worse. a growing number use their platforms to denigrate america's incredible heritage, challenge america's sovereignty, and weaken america's pride. but we know the truth. we will speak the truth. and we will defend that truth. america is the greatest fighting force for peace justice and freedom in the history of the world. [applause] and in case you haven't noticed we have become a lot stronger lately. [applause] >> a lot. we are not going to apologize for america. we are going to stand up for america. no more apologies. we are going to stand up for our citizens. we are going to stand up for

they don't say "kenyan-american" or "nigerian-american," whereas asians tend to be like, "well, i'm korean-american, so it doesn't relate to me because i'm not japanese-american," right? so it was a really interesting conversation, and it is a little edgy, and so that q-a was definitely one memorable one for me. robert: and a astounding statement to make, by the way. jessica: it was. i was like, "oh, my goodness." robert: but you know what? you bring up some--point. when i was a student, i started a student club at de anza college and an asian student club, and it was easier then because everybody kind of viewed themselves as a minority. now there is a little bit more separation. people are wanting to kind of make their own--distinguish them, sort of, identity, culturally, but then it kind of has splintered some of the perception of the group. jessica: it has, and, like, i mean, even japanese-americans, right, to your point, like, we're in our fourth, fifth generation now. we're kind of coming up here, and, again, i don't really know too many purebred japanese-americans anymore. we're all mixed, ri

in syria should be decreased and also should be a stop american. presence in syria northern part of syria is illegal and it is against international law is quite different from the.

weapons american logistical support and american intelligence and with syria i must have missed the moment when iran joined the u.s. in sending money and weapons to gie hardest armed groups seeking regime change trump has laid out a list of demands to iran most notably he called on to iran to drop the quote quest to destroy israel an explicit indicator of who've trumps trying to court him and this is how we run feels about trump's move. and the american flag isn't the only thing in tatters now so is the iran nuclear deal which has left europe scrambling for a response in it is never good for us to break the laws that we ourselves helped to create why because how can you convince powers that occasionally use force or violence that don't respect international law to follow our example when we don't even follow that example ourselves one thing is clear though they won't be taking a leaf out of donald's art of the deal whole world trust the united states or enter the treaty or new here treaty or a deal with the united states if they're all one president as a plaything mothers rather tha

caller: i just wanted to say something about the american university -- not the american university, but some of the students using bananas and a noose and why you would consider that a threat. it is not articulate enough to be considered a threat. it is not saying we would do such and such to you. it is just imagery. it is nothing else. the fact that one group of people find that offensive should not be any reason to consider it a threat. guest: that is an excellent point and absolutely correct that the mere fact that somebody or even many people subjectively consider something to be offensive or threatening is not enough to satisfy the legal standard. the term true threat or genuine threat because the legal concept is quite strict, appropriately, and i wanted to distinguish it from the way we loosely use the word threat in everyday speech. here is the legal standard. i hope we will agree on that. then we can talk about whether it is satisfied by the facts in the american university case. the legal standard is any expression where the speaker means to instill a reasonable fear, reas

when i say great american, i mean great american. be with us tomorrow when i'm talking about the trump doctrine, north korea, iran and much more. former secretary of state condoleezza rice joins us. >>> up next, president trump calls two of his most loyal supporters warriors and now facebook wants to silence them? they tried. we'll take up the war on free speech with trump's most vocal supporters and most engaging, in my opinion. diamond and silk join us here next. stay with us. it took guts to start my business. but as it grew bigger and bigger, it took a whole lot more. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. and that 2% cash back adds up to thousands of dollars each year... so i can keep growing my business in big leaps! what's in your wallet? ethat's the height ofs mount everest. because each day she chooses to take the stairs. at work, at home... even on the escalator. that can be hard on her lower body, so now she does it with dr. sch

that was such an american moment. i thought, they will give the president the credit is due but not so much. >> something that should bring all americans together with you are republican or democrat regardless with the work in the media or not, bringing home three american hostages is a huge victory, talking about hostages from north korea. this does not happen often. think about the state that otto warmbier was in, horrific conditions. to have this moment, the pres. meeting with three individuals when they landed at andrews air force base, a huge moment. we heard a lot about russia yesterday, stormy daniels and this should bring americans together. >> a few hours after the hostages returned we devoted our entire 60 minutes during my time in the church a coverage of the north korea situation. flash forward to the evening news, nbc, 2 minutes and 20 seconds, abc, 3 minutes, cbs 2 minutes and 5 seconds. than msnbc total primetime coverage from 8:00 to 11:00 pm on what was the biggest story of the day, total of 30 second

the pueblo is an american spy ship. an old world war ii era cargo carrier that had been retired, dilapidated, rusty that naval intelligence decided to pull out outetirement and send it for these electronic intelligence interceptions. had almost no weapons, mechanically a disaster, communications systems are a disaster, in january, the national security team decided a good first mission would be to send it off the coast of north korea in january, 1968. , and ap got out there couple weeks of operations are gone pretty well, i january 3, -- on january 3, the pueblo was operating peacefully and it was approached by a number of north korean ships. and eventually a couple make planes also. the captain at first thought this was a routine harassment rash --arass -- a harassment. in the end, they ordered a surrender. they try to escape, the engines didn't work very well. they could not maneuver very well. there was no support. there were not prepared for this. they surrendered. there was a brief gunbattle. the pueblo was fired u

there has always been a presence of american -- african-americans. there was more so in earlier days than what we have today. what theknow about population of african americans today? >> we are at 9% currently. people feel that because of the amount of [indiscernible] that a lot of african-americans are moving further out in the counties or moving on altogether. >> when did you come back to asheville and why did you start doing these tours? >> i moved back to asheville in 2001. phone called me on the and said i want you to come back and i was like, ok. so i came back. the i moved back, neighborhood that my family was years and it was drug infested. out and relaxme and come out of d.c. and i see this old crack thing, this is happening in the 1980's. there was a lot of craziness going on in the neighborhood and it forced me to take on the experiences i had learned through my stepfather and other leaders around community taking a leadership role and doing things to make the neighborhood better. aboutwas nobody talking african-american history. go in tha

it is american fork music. and when i have traveled to other parts of the world and i tell people that i play american fork music and sing american folksongs, they say, what? we did not know there was anything other than the commercialized is that we get america, butfrom every country has a tradition of full music. northalking western carolina, this is american folk music. it is important to preserve it, document it, make it available because part of our nation's history -- >> these tunes, these are bits of wind them -- with them that are being passed down from other generations desk is is not an essay, not a book. it is something that is tune, and itin a cannot be put any other way. there's power in that tune and was then in that tune that when you run it through a group of people, it informs their way. and a lot of it is very uplifting. and i think it makes people healthy. good medicine. >> c-span is at the code in asheville. we are talking to the first daughter of lee graham. legal -- billy graham. we will l

administration frustrated, but americans are. 80% of americans would like to see this problem fixed. they are begging congress to do it, and the president has a right to be frustrated, and he is a right to be angry, and he is, and he is going to express that. he is going to continue to do that until we fix this problem. reporter: is the white house meetcked -- on track to speaker ryan's deadline next week on nafta? ms. sanders: we have made progress and hopefully we will get there. is the president willing to revisit this after the elections in med -- elections in mexico in the midterms? ms. sanders: we really know. reporter: this kelly sattler still work in this white house? ms. sanders: yes. she does. reporter: does the president their responsibility for the tone in this white house? ms. sanders: the president supports all americans. if you look at what he is doing every day, he is working hard to make this country better, whether it is building our the economy, creating jobs, defeating isis, fixing our judiciary system, helping with illegal immigration, the president is addressing

for african-americans and hispanics. and all of that enjoying a dramatic surge in the president's approval numbers. the poll shows approval rating with the african-american doubling from 11 to 22 percent in one week and i am sure he said thank you, kanye west. the feeling is mutual and we are talking about 16 months in office. the man said he would fix problems and he is doing that. joining us is ed rollins, he served this three presidential administrations and fox political analyst and great to see you. i have to say listen to jim holstrom. >> great american. >> lou: he is without question. and see the pain as he talks about his agency. he was there almost three decades. >> in the new york office for a long time. >> lou: he is an amazing man and i wonteder where are the other agents like jim. >> the hierarchy is. >> lou: they are corrupt. where are the agents, who care. is there a fear in the agency that they haven't got the guts to stand up against corrupleadership. eight years was eric holder and they are indoctrinate

, not only of otto warmbier but other americans. but there were, i believe, eight americans released during the obama presidency, two of the three that were released today were rested during president trump's time in office. so it is usually an action taken by the north korean security services, and then when it sort of percolates up to the leadership, they release the americans when they either see as it is an impediment to improving relations or want to send it as a gesture of diplomatic outreach. >> do you wonder why kim jong-un released the americans now, not waiting for it to happen as part of a broader deal, as part of their conversation when they sit down in singapore? >> well, i suspect -- kim jong-un has proven himself thus far to be very skillful at setting up the diplomacy ahead of the summit. i think this was to offer a gesture of goodwill certainly. i would be careful about reading too much into whether or not it signals husba s his intent to c the table on denuclearization. i would caution, this is raising the expectat
