mitchell: they were excited about having the american troops and hoping that the american go immediately get in line, but that wasn't so, and we required several months of training. french troops were hoping american troops would amalgamate right into french command. which, for the most part, did not happen, but pershing allowed some american troops to fight with the french including the african-american division, the 93rd. guillaume: here are troops already. this looks like the chans elysee. they parade on the main avenue of paris. now we are at the lafayette grave, east of paris. mitchell: this was a famous scene and the immortal words , "lafayette we are here" has been repeated over and over. it is part of the lore of the americans saying we are repaying you,less i at, -- repaying lafayette for your help during our american revolution. guillaume: you see colonel stanton. mitchell: although it is often attributed to pershing, he did not say it. guillaume: nowadays, it looks quite similar. it is a private cemetery. few people go there. killed during the french revolution by the guilloti

american trade. it has been many decades that american presidents have not been a deal with all sourcing and globalization and the loss of american manufacturing jobs. i do hear that argument quite a bit, including from farmers in the midwest who are also being .it by these tariffs but a lot of farmers have said we are willing to give the president some leeway. we think that this is a negotiating tactic, and if he is able to fix trade with china and some of these big foreign markets, it will be worth it. i think the question is how long does this take to resolve? is there a resolution at the end , and what are the goals of the trump administration? how quickly can they wrap this up and get the pain over with for ordinary manufacturers and farmers? host: one group may be not giving president leeway on this, some republican senators. a symbolic vote yesterday on the president's trade practices. one of the people who spoke was pat toomey of pennsylvania, republican. here is some of the argument leading

a 100% american and a 100% organic. - grown american means exactly what it sounds like. it's grown in america, the greatest country in the world where the streams are clean, where the air is pure. we have some of the best soil in the world. just good, rich, organic, black dirt. grown american superfood was developed to capture the goodness in natural, whole foods and that's exactly what it is. - our products really go from being a fresh crop out in the field at van drunen family farms into our processing facility in a matter of hours. - grown in america means beat quality. the best service, the best price. this is part of our job, farmers and processors, to get the best product to the customer as we can. - what means the most to me about grown american superfood isn't just that it's organic, but it's organic grown in this country. it's still hard to get home in time to chop, and clean, and cook vegetables for my kids. that's what's great about the grown american superfood is i can sneak healthy, organic vegetables into foods that they already like. this is some macaroni

our american revolution. guillaume: you see colonel stanton. mitchell: although it is often attributed to pershing, he did not say it. guillaume: lafayette's grave is in a private cemetery. people from lafayette were killed by the guillotine and put there. mitchell: can you translate this for us? they are on their way to the front, is that what it says? guillaume: yes, it's as american troops on their way to the front. we see soldiers leaving the main towns and heading to the northeast of france. mitchell: this would have been probably early autumn 1917? guillaume: probably. they arrived to the barracks and the kitchen. this is looking like east of france already. at the beginning, american soldiers are closed by the frontline. we don't speak about true big offensive in 1917. they were training to get more and more experience because then they would face germans that have three years of experience.

means to support american industries, american jobs, and american companies, but the waters are far more money than they were for many years in the automobile industry, and this car is a great example of that. it was built by american workers working in the united states, so is this car any less american than a chrysler built in canada or a ford built in mexico? there is no easy answer to that question. it's something we continue to struggle with. it is important to realize the definition of what an american car is. it evolves over time just as vehicles have evolved over time. that's something that we try to talk about here at the henry ford museum of american innovation. yes, this is about cars, but it's not just about the cars themselves and the technology, it's more about cars and social forces. the story we tell you is how the car has evolved over the last 120 years and changed to meet our needs. cars have gotten larger, faster, more colorful, more luxurious, you name it. but we are also trying to tell the story of how we have changed to meet the cars needs. because we have changed w

american exports are on the rise. this is a strong economy and leadership on improving our trade relations for american jobs andworkers. >> when do you expect them to announce another solid trade deal. will you be able to announce them before the midterm elections. >> we are encouraged about the free trade agreement. the u.s. trade representative continues to believe there is a possibility before we get to labor day we might have a reformed nafta agreement. those details are still being worked out. look, the president came into this administration with the belief that for too long americans, our economy, our workers are being taken advantage of by trade deals. whether it's renegotiating with south korea or renegotiating nafta or resetting the balance in our relationship with the european union or resetting the imbalance lancimbalance with che that strong leadership is contributing the moment -- momentum. >> will you have a relationship with mexico? >> i hope to reach an agreement. president trump will stay focused on

time and again, judge kavanaugh has sided with the wealthy instead of the ordinary americans. he has sided with electric power utilities and chemical companies over protecting clean-air and fighting climate change. he argued that the consumer financial financial protection bureau which has save consumers billions of dollars from the greed and illegal behavior of wall street and financial institutions, he argued that bureau was unconstitutional. because it structured not giving up power to the president. he has argued against net neutrality, he dissented in an osha case, arguing that see world should not be fined for the deaths of one of the whale trainers because the trainer should have accepted the risk of death as a routine part of the job. mr. president, well nobody can predict the future, we can take a hard look at judge kavanaugh's record and extrapolate from his decisions what kind of supreme court justice he will be. i think the evidence is overwhelming, he will be part of the 5 - for majority which has had decision after decision against the needs of working people, ag

every american citizen, all equal regardless of economic power, every american citizen can have their voice heard to determine the direction of the country and the makeup of their government. we saw a hundred 43 million eligible -- we saw 143 million eligible americans not voting in the 2014 midterm elections. we need everyone voting this year. joanne joins us from california on the democrats lined for liz kennedy. caller: good morning. , c-span,ing and thanks for taking my call. i've a question. if i vote, regardless of which system i use, my daughter asked me, how do i know that my vote went in for that candidate. i will hang up and listen to response on the other end? guest: thank you for calling in with that question. it is important that americans understand that our local and state election officials are -- lots excellent job of people have tough jobs, running our election is a another tough job. we should not shake our fundamental confidence in the integrity of our elections which is that we have free, fair, and accessible elections in which every american can have their voice

these incredible american heroes will soon lay at rest on sacred american soil. even during the campaign, people would come up to me -- it's a long time ago -- many decades ago. oftentimes they were older. in some cases, they were younger. great-grandfathers. my great-grandfather, my grandfather, my father -- they asked if i could do something about it. i'd look at them, i'd say, "we don't get along too well with that country." they said, "whatever you can do." and it's something that was very important to me. many people have asked that. i've asked the vice president and others to just pay a special tribute -- and they will do that. so we honor the sacred memory of every incredible american patriot who fought and died in that war. in everything we do, in every action we take, we are fighting for loyal, hardworking, patriotic citizens of our blessed nation. we're making our country great again. we're respected again all over the world. our military will soon be stronger than it's ever been, by far. that in itself will produce thousands and thousands of jobs. nobo

he was african-american, right? so by referring to him in this way, we want to give you some context. the sense was that his promotion might be kind of cheapened as somehow tokenism or might seem political. he's pointing out in the letter we've seen that in fact this man wouldn't be alive without this leader, va didson. he's been -- davidson. he's been with him a long time. he's afraid of how it will be seen. that tells us about the time, doesn't it? in the 1960s, how it was for an african-american to get a promotion. here's someone in vietnam, i don't know about his education, but i'm guessing he didn't necessarily have an undergrad degree or an advanced degree, never mind. yet he's attuned to political realities at home and what they mean. and it's back in vietnam that he understands this very clearly. so i thought that was really another piece of the war that the domestic side of it and how the people over there understand. they have to understand, right? what it looks like domestically. what the optics are of wh

today was aer f terrible day for the american brand, the american people and all of our allies. we do not negotiate from a position of strength. we acted from apo position of weakness. as a result vladimir putin walked away with a win.y he's walking away with an undeserved legitimacy. we tookd a loss today when we backed away from our standing commitment to principles, american leadership and basic reality. today the press asked the president of the united states who he believed on the subject of russian information operation in the u.s. in 2016. the men andvehe in women of the u.s. intelligence agency or vladimir putin, a member of theur russian intelligence community. a thug, turned russian desperate.ho the choice was between peopled who are risking their lives on behalf of our freedom and people who go around the world. taking people's lives to limit freedom. the president of the united states, how did he answer? he answered he didn't see any reason why element would have interfered in the election. makele no mistake he has a reason. the reason is clearch g to all those who h

americans are better off. i've heard from small businesses, slike shredx in griffin georgia, custom bodyworks, and emmitt manufacturing in la grage. they're all making investment, expanding, being more productive. most importantly, they're hire manager people and they're investing in their people with higher wages and better training. and the families are doing better throughout our district. but these businesses are doing more than simply investing in their people and in their businesses. they're investing in their communities. so our communities are become manager helpful. all of this is the result of a tax reform bill, better regulatory environment, and a changing attitude and education that ensures that people pursue their talents and not just a degree. but they are involved in making sure that they are able to make a living in viable careers for a long period of time. it's not just the economy that's making us more secure. we've invested heavily in our military and we have fully funded our men and women s

too many americans are still struggling. in 2016, 12.3% of american households were food insecure. the supplemental nutrition assistance program or snap provides crucial assistance to tens of millions of americans. almost half of whom are children. and over 80% of snap households are living at or below the poverty line. further more, it's important to acknowledge that the snap program is responsible for many long-term benefits. studies have shown that access to snap by pregnant women leads to healthier babies and girls who had access to snap as children were 18% more likely to graduate from high school. that's why i'm continually frustrated that majority blames our budget deficit on low income families, seniors and victims of hunger. especially when the cbo has estimated that the republican tax bill will explode the deficit by 1.9 trillion dollars over ten years. that's why i'm offering an amendment that rejects this resolution's deep cuts to snap. 157 billion dollars over ten years. whether it's the trump administration's budget, the farm bill, or this committee's budget, it's obv

misinforming the american people. guest: one of the wonderful things about the internet is you can look up documents. i mentioned thomas jefferson wrote the letter to in relief. he wrote it may 1825. saying this was the object of the declaration of independence. not to really say things which had never been said before but to place the common sense of the subjects so plain and firm as a commander of sense. it was intended to be an expression of the american mind. all itsthat expression authority rests on the sentiments of the day, whether expressed in conversations or the elementary books of public rights. thomas jefferson talked about cicero being the person who inspired the declaration. argued cicero is perhaps the most influential classical fingal on the founders. they read it in latin. back -- multiple gods. he was assassinated. he was murdered before the birth of christ. christ had not been born. he was a roman senator. if you've read his writings were they are available online, the treatise on the commonwealth t

the american people cannot afford either. every american cares about women's health, about protections for people with pre-existing conditions, about civil rights, labor rights, lgbtq rates, environmental rights. now is the time to fight. now is the time for american people to make their voices heard loudly, clearly from one end of this country to the othe other. now is the time to demand a justice who are protect our healthcare, not strike it down. : : >> to fight for the freedoms and rights that all americans deserve. that is what is at stake with this supreme court nomination. we knew that a president trump picked his nominee from the list of 25 that was written by special interest federal society and heritage foundation, the nominee would be prepared to overturn roe into strike down the healthcare law. those two organizations are dedicated to getting rid of row and the affordable care act. leonard leo who runs the federalist society, his goal in life is to get of supreme court to repeal role. does anyone think any of thes

it's too important to get the full story out in front of the american senate and the american people. where are the notes from that meeting, the contemporary notes? what did the president agree to? was secretary pompeo briefed afterwards? did he write anything down? -- contemporary contemporaneous notes should be turned over to congress immediately. i'm calling on leader mcconnell and his leadership team to immediately request a hearing with the people i mentioned -- pompeo, coats, huntsman, and the rest of the national security team. and i'm calling on leader mcconnell to join us in demanding the contemporaneous notes that were taken. friendsr republican must and the attacks on the department of justice, . do we want to pass legislation? , the most important legislation that we can pass is the bipartisan bill to protect the special counsel that senator cowans, tillis, and graham author along with senators lighthouse and blumenthal and that passed the judiciary committee. put it on the floor immediately -- immediately. if you mean what you say, leader mcconnell, if you are going to wa

prominent lawyers with ties to the american cause who had successfully represented an american in the months leading up to alan's rival in habeas proceedings, they had taking on his case. the administration knew this. they knew the lawyers would invoke the english habeas corpus act. because allen as an american was considered a traitor and subject of the crown, he could claim the protection of the english habeas corpus act and demand his release if he wasn't tried. trying him would raise a number of complicated issues. because there were people in england to sympathetic to the american cause. rather than have to deal with that legal framework, there's a solution to put him back on the ship and send him back to the americas where the english habeas corpus act didn't apply. they can be held as the equivalent as prisoner of war. as the war unfolded, more and more american prisoners are brought to english shores and that solution can't be the way that they handle it going forward any longer. what does parliament do? they take a history lesson and they pass the suspension. lord north goes

officials from the american prosecution with regard to that charge do you think the american side is like. to take up on that all for a because i'm sure try to trump actually said that it was a good idea but do you think the bureaucracy is likely to welcome something like that well i'm sure the bureaucracy won't welcome it and i think from an american point of view the temptation is to say well we'll go investigate your. folks but you cannot come here and investigate ours so i suspect it'll bogged down over reciprocity with whether in fact. such an investigation would likely produce anything i'm i'm not so sure i think that from what i can gather i've seen the indictment but i haven't seen it in the material that underpins it but i have talked to some of the people who are involved in the process and i think they have evidence that's pretty conclusive you know so if you had a tape of a phone conversation between a and b. who say we have got that the e-mails from the d.n.c. headquarters and we are proposing to release them on this schedule and then somebody else says no don't use that

supreme court can turn the american dream into the american nightmare. without digressing, i must point out that to conclude that psychofan tick debut is where judge kavanaugh's views begin and end would be dangerously naive. the briefest examinations of his record reveals numerous positions contrary to the values held by most americans. he has opposed e.p.a. protections, workers' rights, consumer protections, and the right to choose. and his personal statements call to question his ability to be an independent check on the president, such as his declarations that investigations of presidents should be deferred while that president is in office. and his opinion that a sitting president is immune from criminal charges. these statements should be particularly troubling for all americans as the supreme court may soon be called upon to consider whether president trump can be subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury, or whether a sitting president can be indicted. our democracy will need an unbiased and principled supreme court, functioning at its fin

we need to keep fighting for the american family, the american worker, the american business so that this country continues to be the best place in the world to do business. tax reform is an example of how we get that done. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. kelly, for five minutes. mr. kelly: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize the 80th anniversary of a reputable business that is headquartered in my hometown of butler, pennsylvania. hunter truck sales. hunter truck sales is a family owned and operated authorized dealer of peterbilt, an international heavy duty trucks, and one of the largest heavy duty truck commercial providers in the northeast. hunter truck is a staple of the community and their success over the last 80 years confirms that the american dream is alive and thriving in pennsylvania and throughout the whole united states. hunter truck sales is a name that has been synonymous with reliability since its founding in 1938. . homer started this in eau claire, pen

that's the american way. of course, missing the point that the three-quarters of americans were working in industry and hadn't seen the frontier ever. but it was part of this american mindset. eisenhower, of course, grew up in the middle of nowhere and had this sense that people could come from different places and do great things if they had the right mindset. so i think perhaps it was cultural from that period of the last part of the 19th century and into the early 20th century, the idea of americans as unique people with unique skills, unique capabilities and all you had to do was harness that. and that carried on all the way through the second world war, i believe, the idea, the can-do spirit that once you give an american a task and a purpose, nobody in the world can beat us. so i think that's something of an american cultural concept from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. and that was only reinforced, i think. if you have that general sense that, yes, americans are unique people and all

mince words, today was a terrible day for the american brand, for the american people, and for all of our allies area we did not negotiate from a position of strength. acted from a position of weakness. as a result, one of the world's worst despots walked away from helsinki with a win. vladimir putin is leaving helsinki with an undeserved a. lossnited states took a today when we backed away from our long-standing commitment to principled american leadership and frankly walked away from basic reality. the press asked the president who he believed on the subject of russian information operations in the u.s. in 2016. did he believe in the minimum of the u.s. intelligence community or did he of that she believe in vladimir putin? i thought turned russian desperate? the choice was between people who were risking their lives on behalf of freedom and people who go around the world taking people's lives to limit freedom. the president of the united states, how to answer? he answered that he didn't see any reason why putin would have interfered with your selection. make no mistake, to has a re

prominent lawyers with ties to the american cause who had successfully represented an american in the months leading up to alan's rival in habeas proceedings and had invoked the habeas corpus act, a had taken on his case. the administration knew this. they knew the lawyers would invoke the english habeas corpus act. because allen as an american was considered a traitor and by that, a subject of the crown, he could claim the protection of the english habeas corpus act and demand his release if he wasn't tried. trying him would raise a number of complicated issues. because there were people in england who were sympathetic to the american cause. rather than have to deal with that legal framework, the easy solution was to put them back on the ship and send him back to the americas where the english habeas corpus act didn't apply. they can be held as the equivalent as prisoner of war. as the war unfolded, more and more american prisoners are brought to english shores and that solution can't be the way that they handle it going forward any longer. so what does parliament do? they take a his

allied forces, american forces or whatever. and my dad said that he contributed a lot to the exposure and deaths of the soldiers himself, because after the war was over, there were men that were in good shape. and he had them out washing trucks all night and everything else. and there was no need in this. do you know anything about pershing and what he did and his carryings on? >> i don't know anything specific about his -- i guess his allocation of manpower for issues such as washing trucks. i do know kind of where pershing's philosophy for fighting in the front versus the british and the french at the time. again, the u.s. was emphasizing this idea of open warfare. they're looking primarily at what's happened in europe and marshall brings this up a little bit later as he reflects on the war, as well, that the early phases of world war i, it was very much more a battle of movement. but by the time the u.s. gets involved in it, it is essentially a stalemate. so, pershing's ideas to an extent that this battle -- or this emphasis

senator klobuchar: i want to talk to the american people and sometimes they say what do the american people who cares who is on the court. it is the court that makes the decisions and have made the decisions about who where you can marry and work and vote and my grandpa if his workplace was safe. and i wouldn't be here without those kinds of court rulings. this is about what this is about. when you look at this nominee, you see someone who has not upheld those rights so many times. you look at his rulings on health care as my colleagues have discussed. you look at his rulings on reproductive rights. you look at his rights on consumer issues. those people that thought it was wrong when wall street ran amuck and ran all over of us and took the cars and drove off, well, this judge ruled that the consumer financial protection bureau that was set up to protect you, that that was unconstitutional. that is what he said. if peoplep want net neutrality and think people that should have regular access to the internet as the big corporations he said the opposite and dissented in that case and s

so we can figure out how the russians tried to interfere in the american election and if any americans, which the indictment seems to claim suggests there are, if any americans were involved in that process. now, this weekend after this damming evidence came out, you now have rudy giuliani saying, oh, yes, this is terrible. now we no the russians did this. and this is great information to have. now let's end the mueller investigation. of course you have the president of the united states calling the mueller investigation a witch hunt. this investigation is not over. it is far from being over. and yet you have republicans on the hill trying to impeach justice department officials that are showing americans and the world that russian spies, the gru, is trying to undermine american democracy. we've now indicted 25 russians to undermine american democracy. we indicted the president's campaign manager, the president's national security adviser, the president's assistant campaign manager, the man that the president said was one of his two top foreign policy advisers. we have five guilty plea

it critiques american society. so, i have mere -- i have here is my fourth point, this because at the same time we have longfellow, we have george laporte. this is a picture of george. he wrote the best selling novel in the united states up until the time of uncle tom's cabin. that will take over as the best-selling novel. until that, the best selling novel is the monks also called quaker city. sarah hale says in godey's ladies book that george lippard is the most popular novelist of this time, i will not be printing any of his novels. george lippard is a pennsylvania living for much of his life in pennsylvania. he was a working-class journalist. he spent a lot of time with his journeyman in the city of philadelphia. we talked a lot about the journeyman. as we have talked about -- this is the time when the journeyman's world is changing. they are becoming more and more wage laborers weather than -- rather than skilled men who are having a goal of achieving independence and mastering for themselves. there's a lot of

this person does not owe a duty to the american public. we have real concerns about what documents will be withheld. this leads us to ask what is this chairman trying to hide? thathat is he trying to do those nine other senators need to play with regard to this vetting? duty tosenators have a the american people they represent to independently set this nomination. two weeks ago we saw an appellate nominee who was withdrawn because of things in his written record. had a bipartisan concern that what was in his record -- written record was quality -- disqualifying to be a judge. why wouldn't the same thing apply? it is time that every senator and the american people they represent understand their role and commit to the judiciary committee that they need to see the full record. the request today that they receive the missing three years that were not requested by the chairman, i think that really needs to be heard, not press that follows supreme court process issues but outside the beltway as well. i been that the people who selected this nom

these incredible american heroes will soon lay at rest on sacred american soil. even during the campaign people would come up to me a long time ago, many decades ago, often times they were older. in some cases they were younger, great-grandfathers, great-grandfather, my grandfather, my father, they asked if i could do something about it. i would look at them and say we don't get along well with that country. they said whatever you can do. something that was very important to me. many people have asked me. i asked the vice president and others to just pay a special tribute and they will do that. we honor the sacred memory of every incredible american who foreign died in that war. and everything we do and every action we take, we are fighting for loyal, hard-working, patriotic citizens of our blessed nation. we are making our country great again. we are respected again all over the world. our military will soon be stronger than it has ever been by far. that in itself will produce thousands and thousands of jobs. nobody makes equipment like we do. nobody, whether it

and most americans realize it is true. >> it is the americans who are celebrating. they are leaving. the vietnamese are not celebrating. they must stay and face the uncertainty of whatever is going to happen to them next. >> in hanoi, the american military involvement in the vietnam war finally came to an end. for if anything or anyone symbolized the american agony of vietnam, it was the prisoners. >> most were pilots, and many had spent more than six years in prison. now they were on their way home. >> it wasn't really until we rolled down the runway, finally lifted off enemy soil, that we all broke loose and and started hugging and kissing the air force nurses. it was just unbelievable. and it was all euphoria. >> families gathered in the den to watch the arrival of the planes in the philippines. there was no word as to which of the three planes the lieutenant colonel would be on. the first one landed, but it wasn't that one. then came the second plane. someone in the family said that he won't be on this one either. but he was. >> oh! >> it was him! oh, my god! oh

lied to the american people. mr. mueller, do your job tonight, if you care about truth, if you care about justice, if you care about the system of justice in this country being abused at this high of a level. if you care that somebody actually paid for russian lies to misinform the american people and that information was spread by some of the highest levels of our government. how do you justify russian lies being used to get awards on an american citizen?ic it was never verified and never cooperated. it was never even looked at. it was just propagated and these judges, when arehe we going to hear from them? i've never met a judge in my life who like to be lied to. i grew up, yes, sir, no mama, yes your honor, no your honor. may it please the court. may it please the court that these judges now be told that they have been lied to tutsis extent here now, fox news contributor who deserves a pulitzer in her work all, going all of that. sarah carter, author of this book, "deep state" and she is working to destroy the tru

it is about who we are as americans. she was able to convince the war department but also she created a movement. the new york times picked up on the story, the ap, and a young congressman named hamilton fish from new york city, who was a white officer in what was known as the harlem hell fighters, a segregated unit that fought bravely and heroically in france, fish decided it was time to recognize his men and all of those who had fallen in world war i and spearheaded a campaign to get through the tomb of the unknown soldier. got through the funding and the bill. president wilson signed it. year goes by, it is 1921. the four major cemeteries in france which contain unknown soldiers, the remains are removed from each of the cemeteries. at belleau wood, at san miguel, where saunders and all the others fought, at the meuse-argonne, the somme, the four remains are removed, they are checked to make sure there are no dogtags, letters, diaries, anything to identify these individuals. then at that point that registration people

ends of the us political spectrum and the american media. are i don't know which side is the bride and which side of that is the groom enters a bit of sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president today's press conference in helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory. of this our full french honors the victorious world cup team returned home soil hero's welcome. this is our two international coming to you live from the russian capital welcome to the program. three social media giants facebook google and twitter are facing the u.s. congress at the moment over alleged political bias on their platforms the hearing is also expected to address advertising practices and fake news it comes as facebook admits that its algorithm labeled thousands of russian users as quote interested in treason supposedly for advertising purposes and that's raising concerns over who might really want to target these users are explains.
