american indians and subjugating american indians. which, from an american point of view, necessitated confining -- while the wild with shows are still ongoing. the image of the plain indian warrior moved into the 20th century with the latest technological investment. in the battle of little bighorn is portrayed in silent films and in talkies all throughout the heyday of hollywood and 1940's and 30's, technicolor period of the 50's. well into the counterculture films. with the silent films in 1925, there is a film considered one of the great epics of the silent era. in this movie it's made clear in the written dialogue that plain indian warriors in particular were impeding the "advancement of white men." this storyline of american indians standing in the way of progress continues to be told throughout the golden age of hollywood, and even in the counterculture films. the counterculture films even begin to reflect a little bit more. -- a little bit more what was actually going on in the west. native people are still being portrayed fro

americans and american indians share a deeply in tangled history. shaped united states of america, and had a profound and lasting impact on american national consciousness and popular culture. in the central gallery, which we call indians this largeyou gallery is covered floor to ceiling with images. pervasive inis americans lives. most american people are conscious that anywhere you look imagery ofnd american indians. we are offering that this imagery exists as evidence of the deeply entangled history that americans and american indians share. in exploring the history that lies behind this imagery, we explored three events, the story of pocahontas, the trail of tears, and the battle of little bighorn. today we are going to explore the battle of the little bighorn. c-18 sunday six battle was fought between u.s. cavalry and of tribes. it resulted in the death of general george armstrong custer, who was a civil war hero, and in the death of almost 300 cavalry men. this was the most shocking event of the late 19th century. within less than 10 years, wa

he is married to an american. his wife is an american, maybe even an american spy. gage's wife is someone to look at if you are doing female spies. he has been in america since the french and indian war. throughout the fall of 1774 and spring of 1775, gage keeps asking for reinforcements. he sends letters to england, the situation is pretty bad, we should send more reinforcements. instead of sending gage a reinforcements, the british sent three more generals. a guy by the name of william howe. he will feature prominently in your book. a guy named henry clinton. and a guy named john burgoyne. what do you suppose the significance is that gage asks for reinforcements and britain sends three generals? what was the ramification of that? any ideas? student: [indiscernible] prof. gabriel: a lot of conflicting views. student: the british don't think manpower is necessary at this point. prof. gabriel: they might not think manpower is necessary. they might not have a lot of faith in thomas gage. when you ask for reinforcements and they send three more generals, that's not a h

these reforms will and powder american voters. -- empower american voters. they are going to encourage more diverse candidates to run for office and help break the stranglehold that big donors have on american politics. we're proud to deliver on our promise to the american people. we're proud to roll this many -- this comprehensive package out as h.r. 1. and we fully intend to do everything in our power to return power to the american people. with that, i turn to one of our outstanding new members who has just been through a campaign and can testify as to some of the rigors and some of the changes that need to be made, very, very convincingly, representative escobar. [applause] ms. escobar: good morning, everyone. i want to thank speaker pelosi and house majority leader steny hoyer for their leadership. my name is escobar, from the -- my name is ron at the -- my name is for monica escobar, from the great safe-secure u.s. mexico border, el paso, texas. i want to thank congressman sarbanes for the incredible privilege of allowing us as new members to be able t

stay there the americans have to get out for a variety of reasons including money because. being safe he he wants money he doesn't want anything other than money he doesn't he doesn't care about politics on international middle east or anything else he wants money from the regimes from everybody else and he wants money for his services that's what these telling them are can people because he cannot offer them what the american people are expecting from him but on the syrian scene i think the situation is as it is it hasn't changed the americans are going to withdraw whether they're out of slow or far storable whatever and the turks are not going to allow the kurdish movement to stop a new country as happened in the north of iraq under the watch of the americans and this is where the problem is a modest. about damascus i mean it's interesting with the same because john bolton when he was in ankara was publicly humiliated when erda one refused to meet with him and instead of the time to address the turkish parliament to basically berate. bolton i think the western media cover

, but somehow the american spirit or the war effort. that, to me, is why we have to talk about wilson in these issues, even as we're surrounded by racists. theodore roosevelt was racist, harding had no interest in african americans. wilson's contribution was to make racialized issues not about african-americans in the same way the dire bill becomes about dire and not the black women in washington, d.c. standing outside his congressional door every day demanding he do something about this. they know he's vulnerable. they know there are politics back home. they take him. we don't -- they pick him. we don't know why they have the access they do. they come to washington for the federal jobs. they have access to dire and they can twist dire in ways that are powerful and important. unless, of course, the president says i'm not interested in that. i have to stand by my base. >> we'll get to you folks in just a second. i wondered if katie or david would like to have any final words here. >> the thing that strikes me about these conversations is

among those hardest hitter african-americans and hispanic americans. our southern border is a pipeline for vast quanlts of illegal drugs, including meth, heroin, cocaine and fentanyl. every week 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone. 90% of which floods across from our southern border. more americans will die from drugs this year than were killed in the entire vietnam war. in the last two years ice officers made 266,000 arrests of aliens with criminal records, including those charged or convicted of 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes and 4,000 violent killings. over the years thousands of americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country, and thousands more lives will be lost if we don't act right now. this is a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart, and a crisis of the soul. last month 20,000 my grant children were illegally brought into the united states, a dramatic increase. these children are used as human pawns by vicious coyotes and ruthless gangs. one in three women are sexually assaulted on the danger

will this great american story, this great american journey, this great american quest, for a free just society that can stay free, be finished in this generation? because people gave us on the founding principles. or will there be enough to have the courage to explore and stand against it with all the challenges we have in the universities and in many other places today. the choice is yours. and so also, will be the consequences. thank you. [applause] >> cherie: thank you for that we will have a brief conversation before turning it over to the most dynamic part of our conversation which is hearing from audience. before we do that i want to flesh out a few points that you made a little bit more. i wanted to ask you about the solutions you proposed. one of which was yearning for a lincoln-like leader. and of course how are the challenges that our leaders have are structural and technological and different things are rewarded now that are different from lincoln's day. it's not that politicians no longer give talks about civic education or the better angels of our nature but more likely no

, white americans. and of course, they can utilize all kind of races to be their slave to produce more crime. so i would like you to put that real productivity or immigrants and fantastic children are raised, a lot of good school credit -- produce the competition -- the school competition, the science competition. so they are the real american friends, make the american society better. so you don't try to say immigrants to save the american society. it's the other way around. and beside, immigrant, all kinds of jobs, low jobs, and -- >> if i could summarize -- >> -- appreciate their contribution. thank you. >> if i could summarize -- thank you very much. if i could summarize your question. i mean, her point is that more crime is being committed by native-born americans, that we are unfairly tarring and targeting immigrants. i believe that was -- >> yeah, well, you asked us to appreciate the contribution of immigrants, and i absolutely think we should. i love the contribution of immigrants. and frankly,

patriotism and american internationalism, which is to say that for the american people, they can see a larger purpose that goes beyond simply looking out for the us at the expense of others. but rather taking of how do you arrive at securing america's national interest while contributing to the larger global common good? and so both in terms of international audience in terms of domestic audience, some notion of the united date playing a distinctive and unique role as a significant power in world affairs to me is an incredibly important organizing principle to successful american foreign policy in the years ahead. now i will just make to other points before close. the first is, this is not an argument in the face of all changes in the world that predated trump by the way, and in the face of trump himself for us just to go back to doing things the way that we were doing them before. quite the contrary. what i argue in the piece is that there is this it and i try to identify them with some care and purpose of distinctive american character with sticks and attributes, but we need to put

american families rely on government services. the financial services subcommittee other appropriations i have seen how it is impacting. the doors to the small business administration are shut. this needs a complete haul for processors and loan applications for small businesses amounts to $1 billions. we have thousands of which apply every month for federal lon assistance. we talk about supporting ensuring small business, but when they can't get a loan approved, that is a prone promise. thousands of employeys are to process tax refunds are furloughed, allowing the phones to be unanswered. the security and exchange commission, the age has urloughed 9 % of its staff and scaling back and putting at risk. these are three agencies. the bill that is before us to fund the agencies to fund the appropriation bill is not the bill i would have written myself. states,ppointed to help we were unable to come to an agreement. the overwhelming demand for assistance is there. and every state and territory requested funding. my colleagues refused t

german-american irish-american. certainly we see a lot of identity politics and with the last presidential election. the question over immigration what does it mean to be a good or real american? don't forget at the time of the war the highest proportion meant ever first of second born americans it's incredible one third of americans are either born overseas or parent were. in 1924 we slammed the gates shut and said we don't want anyone else coming into this country if you're not from western europe basically said we don't want you here if you are not from norway so we slammed the gates shut that held through 1965. that is incredible now we are overdue for another immigration reform. everybody knows that here. also fear of the other. at the time there is always this need to have that domestic enemy you need to fear. we had the fear of anarchist now those of us who grew up and had a different meaning but back then those who are trying to use violence over the government and also mitchell palmer and the attorney gener

if we take out the african-american students from that group. >> african-american and all others and then you'll have a wide disparity. >> commissioner sanchez: that's the reality of the situation. commissioner collins mentioned something about transfers. i'm very aware of the spring transfers that happened. they are disproportionately african-american students. what does happen on side note spring transfers student ghost to school that have room for them. i asked while back, we look at the spring transfers and what we can do. statistically we should know what the numbers are racially and how we can really support the students transferred mid-year. those students are the most in crises. >> there are two things i want to clarify. there's a spring transfer process. family is not happy with their school. they desire a different school. any family can walk into e.p.c. and request a transfer. they do not involve people services. they are not part of the safety transfer. that parent maybe requesting that transfer, it's just a regular spring transfer that any parent has right to request. i'

the american people expect better. this administration has fully cooperated with the special counsel be released over 1 million documents. the special counsel will complete his work we will have all the facts.the president has maintained he's done nothing wrong but theamerican people ought to be confident that our administration is cooperating . and frankly, this was the Ãi think the american people saw the hyper partisanship among democrats to assume the worst about this president and many in the national media willingness to assume the worst about the president. the reality is, the american people want us doing, what the president did yesterday.late framework to where we can work together. let's start talking to one another. >>chris: even though were in a different studio i'm going to try to move you along. president trump has announced another summit with kim jong-un for late next month with this week, the president said we have made quote, tremendous progress with north korea. on wednesday you said, we're still wa

we had the first parade we talked about which african americans, 180,000 african americans served in the american union army to preserve this republic. they fought to literally save this nation. and they weren't even invited to the parade. the second parade i showed you, they get the 50 years too late belated invitation and then we are treated as second class citizens and the spector of the birth of the nation was hanging over them. the third parade african americans were invited. in fact, it was for an african american, who happens to be commander and chief of the armed forces. so this time, as we see the parade coming down pennsylvania avenue, you see the tables had turned. and so you think about the symbolism of president obama speaking at the opening of this museum. this museum that so many people had been waiting to see and had fought to build. at the museum to open it, they brought a bell from an african american church in virginia, a church that had been around since the 1700s, i believe, and they had ruth bonner, who was then 99 years old ring the bell. ms. bonner's father ha

why, some americans may ask. because democrats are trying to for this farce with a vote those with pre-existing conditions. this is a vote to give cover because the law they passed was unconstitutional and the individual mandate was deeply unpopular. they could put an end to this by passing a law that abides by the constitution, but they are not willing to do that. instead, we're wasting time here today voting on something for the second time. republicans know we can protect the people with pre-existing health conditions without infringing upon basic freedoms. this is why last week we voted on an amendment to the rules package to guarantee

not from the african-americans. but never the less, their fears -- the fears would be violent and so literally, please is a military opposition -- operas -- operation. a thousand troops in d.c. working, 6000 police all lead canceled. baseball games canceled. i'll call it sales are made illegal. even on the mica king speak from, there -- speaks from, there is a kill switch. and will flip the switch play haley jackson singing he has the whole world in his hands. thato, it is into isosphere that king plans addressed. king gave around 350 speeches. that is about a speech today. -- henerally, he is not drafts his sermon but he crafts it in response to how the audience is taking to what he is saying. -- a seriesber of of weapons he can use, rhetorical weapons. and the difference is that this speech, unlike other speeches is being televised. if you were in the black church and you had heard king speak before. if you are not, this was your oratorical introduction. at the end of the speech, he tends to one of his aides and s

we made a promise to the american people. the new members who have come made that promise and made it clear they wanted this to be the first order of business. so h.r. 1 is delivering on that promise back to the american people. and telling them in return for you giving us the gavel, we're going to do everything we can, every single day, to give you your democracy back and make sure this truly is a government of, by, and for the people. thank you for being here today.

yes well the attack today and now the americans are saying that no americans were among the soldiers but it was a joint patrol apparently but anyway the attack today by isis comes two days after mr trump himself attended the ceremony for the burial of the other four american soldiers and two civilians that were killed on january sixteenth so he's feeling the heat now and they he had declared that you know that isis was destroyed and it's time to pull out the two thousand troops that he had deployed in two thousand and fourteen in order to fight against isis the criticism doesn't only come from from the congress it also comes from his military his political staff within the administration let's not forget that jim mattis resigned for secretary of defense because of this move by mr trump there seems to be confusion within the administration mr mr brett mcgurk who was the u.s. envoy in the fight against isis also commented by saying i called him mr trump doesn't have a plan for syria this is a very dangerous situation it's dangerous situation for american troops themselves and for their

how does that affect the native american experience? >> well, that's the thing, there is no native american experience. that's, in part, what the book is about. there are millions of us and so we have millions of different experiences. there are native people like me go who grew up on a reservation. there are native people who have never been to their reservation. there are matie native people ww up in cities and suburbs. there are native people who are educate appeared those who not. some are christian, some who aren't. some are incredibly stupid and some are brilliant. there are just native experiences. and that is in part what i'm trying to show in "the heartbeat of wounded knee," the way our lives are nuanced, complicated, layered, and incredibly diverse. so if you ask that question to any number of native guests on the show, you would probably get as many different answers to that question. >> so does it make sense, then, to even think about a native american identity? >> i don't know if it makes any sense to talk about a native am

eastern on american history tv on c-span3, working with cable affiliates as we explore the american story. over 100 new members joined the house or the senate for the 116th congress. indiana voters elected republican mike braun to the u.s. senate. he previously served in the statehouse. the senator owns a company that many fractures and distributes parts for trucks. voters in indiana's sixth district sent their brother, greg pence to the u.s. house. antique malls in indiana and was in the oil and gas industry earlier in his career. congressman jim baird not represent that shall represents the fourth district and was elected in the indiana state and the putnam county commission. he owns a family farm and the whole health agency in indiana. he lost his left arm while serving as an officer in the u.s. army during the vietnam war. wisconsin added only one new member to their congressional delegation, representative brian style was elected to succeed his onetime boss, former speaker paul ryan. he had served on the university of wisconsin. before that, he was an attorney in private practice and

there is no substitute for american military might. but when i took office, you know it better than anybody in the world, our military was very tired. it was very depleted. i won't even tell you the things that some of our great generals are telling me. and now it's being rebuilt at a rapid rate and very shortly will be more powerful than ever before. and that's the way it has to be. and as i said the more powerful it is, the less likely it is that we'll ever have to use it. but it will soon be more powerful than ever before. today, we reaffirm that a strong america remains the best way too prevent conflict, promote peace, preserve freedom, and protect our great people. together, we unite behind a noble mission to shield our country with the greatest missile defense systems anywhere on the face of the earth. i want to thank you again to the men and women of the american armed forces, special, special people. and the citizens of our country know that. and acknowledge that. far more so than you would ever know. we have the greatest milit

fashion has been worn by african-americans or the l.g.b. t.q. community well just remember that white teenagers versus native american vets situation the viral video sweeping the internet of a mob of mag out wearing high school students surrounding a native american chanting in drumming so much and the story was twisted as we learned from videos that emerged later. on. the market made it. look at what. we think. we've got thank you. as you can see the teen dubbed as the shameless bully was just standing still and smiling at the man with the drum who had come up to him but that's not important because the student was wearing a mag hat people judge me based off one expression and they've gone from there to titling me and labeling me as a racist person do you think if they weren't wearing that hat. this might not have happened or it might have been different that's possible oh the had does mean so much and again don't forget that from now on in the minds of so many people people whose voices matter the red mark a hat is the new white hood without w

he is married to an american. his wife is an american, maybe even an american spy. those of you doing female spies, gage's wife is someone to look at. he has been in america since the french and indian war. he somewhat sympathizes with , he believes in liberty but not in the american sense of liberty is. throughout the fall of 1774 and spring of 1775, gage keeps asking for reinforcements. he sends letters to england, the situation is pretty bad, we should send more reinforcements. instead of sending gage reinforcements, the british sent three more generals. a guy by the name of william howe. he will feature prominently in your book. a guy named henry clinton. and a guy named john burgoyne. all these guys we are going to talk about later. what do you suppose the gage asksce is that for reinforcements and britain sends three generals? what was the ramification of that? any ideas? student: a lot of convict -- conflicting views about what they should do. prof. gabriel: a lot of conflicting views. student: the british don't think manpower is necessary at this point. prof

americans have more consumer power. americans live at a higher level. and the manufacturing industry is more robust than it used to be. >> well, i would -- >> we just have fewer jobs in manufacturing here because of innovation. >> i don't know where to start on that, but, for example, you take the auto industry. employment is dramatically down on that, and the degree of foreign content in the cars we actually assemble here is high. we used to be a vertically integrated auto industry, where what we made, we assembled here. now that's not the case at all. >> but that sounds like a nostalgic view of a manufacturing economy, when we have automation. we have more productivity per worker. >> no, i'm all for automation, because with automation, you get higher productivity and higher wages. we need to advance with the times, but what we don't need to do is allow countries like china, say, to dump massive amounts of product into our country, put our workers out of business, and have our factories in ohio basically ship off their machinery to shanghai, where the

that the american people want and need. our region, of course, is heavily impacted by this shutdown. and today, we stand together with my colleagues here, representatives sarbanes, representative holmes norton, representative connelly, representative buyer, representative raskin, representative trune, representative wexton, and with our good friends, secretary treasurer of the afge, kelly and president erwin of the national federal -- federation of federal employees. thank you for being here and standing up for the people who are working for us. people who are working for the federal government. people who are relied upon every day by millions and millions and millions of americans. because of this shutdown, s.e.c. regulators can't protect retirees and investors. f.d.a. food inspectors can't keep our prodeuce safe. our national parks remain without emergency rescuers. security lines at airports are longer, causing delays of travelers. the possibility is people won't get their refund checks. approximately $140 billion averag

sizable african-american population there. we also have to consider though that the way the primaries are set up, california has moved up u. texas has moved u. it's repositioned california. so you have somebody like eric gar sety getting in, it's going to be a battle and it's a very expensive primary, so you're talking baseline $5 million to be competitive there. i've got say, i think senator harris, her sister st maya. very recognizable in political circles. she's married to tony west. executive at uber. god father reggie hudland, talent executive and director. oscar nominated in hollywood. i think he can shore up some hollywood money. so i think she's going to be quite the force to be reckoned with. >> that's senator kamala harris. what about bernie sanders? because we just heard, we played the clip where senator b sanders calls president trump racist. at this event in south carolina. we certainly, we know why senator sanders would want to be in south carolina, but my question to you is if he wereto do this again, what woul

aside from that it's still the american dream. we are raised and reared believing that if you are going to be a real productive involved citizen, you got to own a home. i don't know if that's absolutely true, but it is something that weave internalized and so housing is extremely important and it's important in building resources and the ability to gain the kind of resources that will allow you to invest. the other thing that we have discovered is final discrimination, period. one of the things that we discovered as we looked into the crisis of 2008 at what was happening with these foreclosures was that people of color, minorities were charged higher interest rates despite the fact they earned the equal amount of money, they had equal amount of education. they paid their bills adequately, but they were discriminated against. every time you're discriminated against in the way that people charge you for goods and services, it reduces your ability to have the funds that you need to have a better quality of life. and so we've got to d

among those hardest hit are african-americans and hispanic americans. our southern border is a pipeline for vast quantities of illegal drugs, including meth, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl. every week 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone, 90% of which floods across our southern border. more americans will die from drugs this year than were killed in the entire vietnam war. in the last two years, i.c.e. officers made 266,000 arrests of aliens with criminal records, including those charged or convicted of 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes, and 40,000 violent killings. over the years, thousands of americans have been brutally killed by those who have illegally entered our country and thousands more lives will be lost if we don't act right now. this is a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul. last month, 20,000 migrant children were illegally brought into the united states, a dramatic increase. these children are used as human pawns by vicious coyotes and ruthless gangs. one in three women are sexually assaulted on t

the leader owes that to the american people. that to the american people. the conscience of the nation. simply a dy who is foil for the latest tweet or posting. it.can do we've passed these bills before. bring them up. bring them up. up.ng them and pass them again. republicans and democrats have past. for them in the the republican chairman and i strongly support them. bring them up. up.g them bring them up and pass them. and open the government. and let 800,000 americans stop suffering.

for hardworking americans. to some, he's saying work without a paycheck. to others he's saying just stay home. and all of those cases he's been unfair, not only to the workers, but also to the american people whose services he's depriving -- he's depriving and also, to our economy. the president's manufactured crisis reaches into the lives of millions of americans. it threatens services and benefits they need to stay healthy and secure. it robs hardworking americans of their paychecks. some we will hear from like steve reed and the 3,200 of national local 4060. the 5,000 workers of afge council 232. eric young and the 3,200 of afge council 33. these numbers are numbers to you but they are people. they are families. they are resources in our community and we'll hear from them and of course we are very, very honored to welcome j. david cox who represents the 700,000 americans of the american federation of government employees. later today, congressional democrats will go to the white house. we'll have given the p

last november many of the american people demanded a new direction. part of that new direction includes making the house of representatives an institution that debates big ideas. we're at a moment where the challenges we face as a country are so great everything from the opioid epidemic that is devastating communities across the country, to the immense economic and human costs the world will incur as a result of climate change that we must come together as a body in a deliberate and transparent way. . the select committee will have outside experts, academics and this institution's own members in an effort to analyze, debate, and adopt those areas that will help us improve how we do the people's business. this select committee, along with the bipartisan rules package that passed on the house floor yesterday, is proof that we stand ready, willing and able to protect, not only this institution's prerogative, but the interests of the american people. with public trust in congress at historic lows, house democrats are taking transformational steps that wil

and by doing, we will return power to the american people. we can have lou making -- lawmaking just as explained by bill in the schoolhouse rock video with power going through the people, through their representatives, in the house. i ask my colleagues to support this resolution and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the the gentlewoman from reserves. the gentleman from oklahoma. mr. cole: thank you, madam speaker. i again want to advise my friend i'm prepared to o close whenever she is. ms. lofgren: we're prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. mr. cole: thank you, madam speaker. in closing while i normally would stand here and be in opposition to what my good friends, mr. hastings, mr. mcgovern, and ms. lofgren, we would be proposing, in this case i fully support the measure that they are bringing before us. the proposed select committee on modern -- modernization of congress is a serious, well-intentioned proposal to create a bipartisan committee to produce a biparti

they weren't elected by the american people. he was elected to secure the border and put america first and retore this nation's military and make certain americans are safe. while this latest report from dhs. 3,700 suspected and known terrorists crossing the border last year. 17,000 criminals that were caught in just one month on the border? the list goes on. there should be a discussion about why we want too secure that border and put up walls? this is mindslessness. diamond and silk, now they want something on the table to bargain with. make americans safe isn't enough. securing the national interest isn't fluff. they have to have some sort of payoff politically for doing the right thing. >> it's time for them to stop using america as political pawns. american lives are being lost because of our national security not being secure here. you know, our president worked hard day and night, especially over this christmas vacation holiday, whatever. he worked hard to fill the bill of securing americans. we take billions of dollars t

and all of whom are african american. and i'm so grateful for this work because one of the things that you pointed out were the need to recognize parents as their students first teacher, and that's so critical. but for a small subset of us families in the district, us parents can't always teach our children everything they need. we don't have the same historical experience that our children have lived and are living, and my second daughter is now a freshman at mission, and she's currently taking an african american women's heritage course. just in the course of one semester, i've watched her blossom from a very shy incoming freshman to a blossoming, confident young woman. the fact that she struggled in her first semester, she's got a 3.8 g.p.a., i think you can directly tie that to what she's learning in ethnic studies and women's empowerment. i'm so grateful for this work and it's helped her become what i'm sure is going to be an amazing young kick-ass woman. so thank you for this work, thank you for the resolution that

it is anti-american. >> sean: wow. that is nbc reporting, ocasio-cortez, not theor only democrat living in the fantasy world. yesterday, during an extremely bizarre joint speech, worthy of a "saturday night live" open skit at a shared podium, speaker pelosi, senate minority leader chuckie schumer literally, they were scowling as they offered zero solutions to the crisis, and they started pushing the manufactured crisis line. is this a liberal compassion that they lecture us about all the time? you may not care about human beings on both sides of the border? longtime democratic strategists, even james carville, he made a joke about schumer's poorest democratic rebuttal, dead on accurate. take a look. >> i don't think they wanted to do it. i don't think they should have done it. m i guarantee you, at the staff meeting tomorrow morning, somebody'sw, going to get chewed out pretty good. the only good thing about it, it didn't matter, they could have given the gettysburg address and it wouldn't have mattered. he didn't want

so you know, i think for me was the idea that american dream maybe is possible for black americans. and maybe it wasn't created for us you know this idea that you can do better than your parents if you just work hard enough. it doesn't matter. your lot in life. but you know, it just, it doesn't seem like that's actually the reality. even now. and the things are really profoundly disappointing thing. at least for me.>> which booktv this weekend on c-span2. >> here is some of what we are covering on friday. on c-span live coverage of the house begins at 9:00 a.m. eastern time. they are expected to debate and vote on interior department spending bill. on c-span2, the senate debates middle east policy. they gaveled in at 10 eastern time. and on c-span three a discussion about the meaning of american exceptionalism and u.s. foreign policy. our live coverage of the german marshall fund event is at 10 am. at 12:15 pm live coverage of a new america discussion about there. >> to capitol hill now and the senate floor. when democrats tried to bring up spending bills to reopen the federal gover

creating a unified american public. the versailles treaty is an affirmation of white global leadership. it ends the war, but it doesn't end imperialism or colonialism. article abouteat what brings women around to -- a gives aage is sense of his imagination. for what it means to be a civic participant. he was honestly worried, i think, that politics was a duty game and women would be dirty. he was convinced by the maternal list argument -- maternal list argument. he was not convinced this was required for women's equality. he did not support suffrage. he gets convinced women should be part of the electorate, but not in terms of anything we would recognize today is a progressive -- today as progressive. they are a part of who wilson was and his legacy. >> just one second. you are on the short list. i am interested in and like what you say about reconciliation. i read this recently in the new thatr, making the point what we have now come with a kind of politics and white is thelism we have now -- of kept in the unit -- of

african-american students. they asked me, in my office, if there was a master plan to keep african-americans from going above 4%. my response was i never thought of that. there might be one. i should investigate this. i did. i would put nothing past ut for maintaining a lid like that, but then they started to launch all these investigations into why it does not go above 4% and i will not going to that, but i wrote an article for a journal on the 50th anniversary of brown versus board. it was an essay. they wanted people to reflect on this. they were basically saying it was a pipeline issue. those controversies are certainly still ongoing at ut. could he say something about what you envisioned? fewer moats and more bridges processes and community deliberations. >> it depends on your point of view. first of all, the communities get together. they meet at the school auditorium. my daughters, all three of my to robert went e. lee elementary school. they graduated and they said, how come we never protested the name

it is part of the american jewish identity. i'm wondering where you are in that thought and then we will take a quick break. >> this is one of the most complex questions and it's animating most of my work now. one reason i love the discipline of jewish studies is the question of and racial definition. whiteness is what we call social construction. beeot there are imes where times which are white . most scholars have concluded that by 19 60s american became white. which of the story of social justice becomesa place of whiteness and power and privilege. even as so many jewish do not define themselves as white. because they point out rightfully that there is anti- semitism and sadly it's been spiking in recent times. >> we are going to take a quick break and return to this conversation. >>> good morning and welcome back. we are in the middle of a wonderful conversation with professor mark dollinger who occupies the jewish studies at san francisco state university. let's talk about the core thesis of the book. >> there are three pa

american men i and fathers. it is difficult to say yes, i am a dad, but i am not enough often. or i do not make enough money to see them, and i think that is what i should be doing, so i do not see the metal. so -- see them at all. so, one of the hardest things fathers had to do, i learned, was to see their child and say goodbye. it was the hardest thing in the world for many of these fathers to do. if you think about this notion of father, or put that word aside and talk about dad, or daddy -- if you are describing yourself as a daddy, then in some ways that means you have a closer relationship with your child, or at least you want to, than if you just conceive of yourself as a father. one of the most difficult things that they expressed was going to see their child and at the end of that visit, because oftentimes it was a visit. it may not have been court ordered, because a lot of them did not have these kinds of formal relationships, they had to say goodbye. and it is very difficult to not believe what they a

the arrest of an american iranian t.v. presenter in the u.s. sparks international outrage we have a firsthand account after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only closely. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in the united states we've proactively required brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and carpeting among other things and that's resulted in extremely higher levels of those flame retardants in the human bodies of americans as opposed to europeans and that ultimately has affected the cognitive outcomes of literally a generation of american children. welcome back following massive uproar in the media and from international n.g.o.s and american iranian t.v. presenter has been released from custody in the united states often being detained without charge. generalization scenes of ok bad. she was not happy. with after certain doubt her instructions were there'

know when he said at one point that in world war two american g.i.'s. were there to free north america. we assume you meant north africa from nazi germany would russia and china come to your rescue well well russia and china of course fought in world war two and it was russia that the feet of nazi germany in berlin will say no it's not a game interestingly enough it is the american media doesn't like to talk about it certainly my pump ale doesn't like to talk about it but there is a peace process going on to finally resolve the issues in syria and it's being led by russia in my pump doesn't realize or doesn't want to recognize that. this process is pretty successful because basically they consider commission is walking most likely there will be negotiations in geneva or the fight in syria is now much less than just a few months ago and obviously you have russia. and you have. that is this where it is yes it's very because i was located if you're going to going to you could put turkey in both camps so i'm. compelled speech you know it was strange i when

i knew nothing about american fashion. and i lived an american dream. at age 25. >> diane was really in the middle of the cool because she was hanging out with everyone at studio 54, and everyone looked at diane as becoming the new girl in town with an incredible look of her own, with her mane and the wrap dress. >> the wrap dress is really like a kimono. it's a dress with no zipper, no button. and it existed before, but nobody did it in jersey. cybill shepard wore it for "taxi driver." there was such a moment at that time. >> it has an elegance and a sophistication. at the same time, it's so easy. put it on like a shirt and wrap it around. nothing could be easier. >> it was relatively affordable. it came in a million different prints. and it sold like hotcakes. >> it's extremely flattering. it is both proper and sexy. you get the guys, and their mothers don't mind. >> the little wrap dress was worn not only by secretaries who could afford it, but it was worn by socialites. and it was the first dress that liberated american women and said, this is the g

you're watching american history tv. all weekend, every weekend on c-span3. >> each week, american artifacts takes viewers into archives, museums, and historic sites around the country. the baseball americana exhibit at the library of congress in washington, d.c. to learn about the origins of the modern game, including the birth of several baseball traditions. the impact of immigrants, and the increasing important of statistics. susan: welcome to the library of congress. i am susan reyburn, curator of the exhibition "baseball americana." today we are going to look at -- this is a collaboration the library did with mlb baseball, espn. today we are going to look at the second half of the exhibition which looks at baseball thematically. including the experience at the ballpark, business of baseball, how immigrants and immigration have affected baseball, and winning. this is our section on "at the ballpark." we have an original fire insurance map. what it shows is that washington, d.c.'s original baseball stadium, griffith s

i think the american people think this is dumb. if donald trump was to have a conversation about real immigration reform, open the government, there are bills that have been passed, the house has voted nine times. i am tired of this exercise of donald trump coming out and saying the same thing he said last week, and we're all going to pretend he said something new. he shut the government now and he and mitch mcconnell need to open that thing up. let's go. >> do you agree? >> i do. there's zero mutual trust between republicans and democrats, the president and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. the fact that nancy pelosi came out before she heard what he was going to say and said she was not going to support this idea, says a lot. the ball is in her court, it's time for nancy pelosi and the democrats to put up or shut up. yes, she is right, these are previously rejected initiatives that didn't pass before. the difference now and then is that black box on the screen right there that says government shutdown day 29. this is about opening
