the united states of america would ever be a thing to being. right? we discussed a lot about dates that are important as starting points traditionally and how we talk about colonial american history. what to do with that. the idea that columbus discovering is often the word is used but we discussed how that word is a disservice it's about contact and not about discovering something or until we begin 1607 the first english settlement in jamestown, virginia buried this ignores the fact the english weren't the first european powers to establish a permanent settlement in what is now the united states of america at all. that's the spanish the arrival there all various options. and in part, one of the reasons i spent so much time with us discussing issues like windows colonial america begin or windows america america begin as i think it helps us to determine what we discussed, who we celebrate and who we raised monuments to among other things. and getting to why these choices are important, think they're really important because celebrations straddle

who tried to destroy the united states of america. battle fields, gettysburg is on everybody's minds at this point and vicksburg. and battle fields are one thing and cemeteries are one thing, but public squares? i think it's an an insult to union soldiers. you can talk about reconciliation, but we can't make that choice for the people who were killed and died during that war. and there's the values of the confederacy which are announced in its constitution and the cornerstone speech of alexander stevens, the vice-president, that says that essentially, well, essentially -- it says, it's fact, that in fact says that africans were meant to be enslaved that that's the inferiority, the cornerstone, slavery is a cornerstone of their society. there's nothing that we could get from them that we can't get from other people without the badge that's there. so confederates, i don't have any problem with the removal of those statues. we will continue to learn about them. most people don't learn history through statues or names of buildings. we get

and he's now overseeing the greatest foreign policy you merely asian in the history of the united states of america, the vietnam looks like a master class in strategy compared to jo biden's catastrophe. i dealt with abdul, he was the leader. i set up dual. anything happens, we are going to rein terror upon you. it will be a terrible while to give it $360.00 of you and bring in david kaz,

the united states of america. so in this exhibition, we explore how it is that that the battle of little big horn remained immensely important in the consciousness of americans for over a century and explore exactly how it is that imagery of the warrior emerged as the stereotypical american indian and also as a symbol of the united states. all of this is to say we will be exploring how the image of the plains indian warrior was used to justify manifest destiny. so our gallery, which explores the battle of the little big horn is divided into two halves. in one-half, we look at concepts of warfare and what the battle was about from their perspective. and on the other side, we look at how it is that the americans responded to the battle and how out of this battle emerged the image of the plains indian warrior. so essentially, there are three factors that led to the battle of little big horn, three immediate factors. one of them was the fact that at this time, the u.s. army is rounding up american indians and confinin

you were assaulted by thousands of violent insurrectionists at the capitol of the united states of america. jill and i would never have thought we would have to join you in the capitol rotunda not once but twice. once to honor officer brian sicknick, who lost his life, and then to honor billy evans, who lost his life as well. both gave their full measure of devotion to the country at the united states capitol. their families are here today -- yes, you should clap for the families. [applause] i know, like others know, from personal experience, getting that phone call. it is nice to be honored and have those you lost remembered, but it is tough to be here. it brings back everything like it happened 10 minutes ago. so i offer you not only our condolences, but recognize your courage, the courage of your children. you have our most profound gratitude. you know, the fallen, in my view, our casualties of a struggle literally for the soul of america. a struggle that they did not start, a struggle we did not seek, and a struggle that by the grace of god will win. i know this is a bittersweet moment

so my father never forgave the united states of america for what he viewed as a betrayal of black people and for him he was a soldier during world war ii and he saw the united states of america betray black people in uniform and never got over that. i'm not saying he was right or wrong i'm simply saying that there are elements of which you say that you would be high-fiving and there are elements in which he believes he is very much in sync to be very pluralistic. >> so let's spend the rest of this time and as the confrontationaln' instrument. did you see of it and triggers. >> but maybe where were one —- looking at the wrong place so she went back to look at geometry so maybe we need to go back to look at what we do successfully under the worst conditions how we got those a new reality. and that moratorium on white folks of how we were able to build hotels with 100 universities and schools back then. and then to purchase them plantation which he was a slave to take in the family of the slave master of radical grace and your dad lived by the principles that despite his feelings that's w

as the 34th president of the united states of america. and yet he always retained a saving humility. his was the humility not affair, but have confidence. he walked with the great of the world and he knew that the greater human. his was the humility of man before god and before the truth. his was the humility of a man proud to be arrogant. some he restored come to a divided nation. he gave americans a new measure of self respect. he invested his office with dignity and respect and trust. he made americans proud of their president, proud of their country, proud of themselves. you and if we in america were proud of dwight eisenhower, it was partly because he made us proud of america. he came from the heart of america, and he gave expression to the heart of america, and he touched the hearts of the world. many leaders are known and respected outside of their own countries. very few our loved outside their own countries. dwight eisenhower was one of those few. he was probably loved by more people in more parts of the world than any president

stop the endless wars and build up united states of america so it is truly the great country. also, understand why people do not like us. we are poor in human relations. why did al qaeda attack the united states why did osama bin laden hate us? we need to understand why people do not like us. we cannot be bullies that goal -- go all over the world as imperialists trying to tell people how to run their governments. do not fight china. do not fight russia. just live in harmony but be strong. they know we canoe them any time we want to. host: in texas, and independent. caller: i called and is a veteran and not an independent. i had vietnam in 1968. i know exactly what went on in vietnam. it was nothing compared to what is going on now. i was on the top of the building when we lifted out in helicopters and i was helping people get on, soldiers, politicians, citizens. but to be a minis -- the vietnamese did not stop fighting. they were not a bunch of fiends. they were fighting up to the steps as they were getting help to get away from it. over in afghanistan, they are the crookedes

states of america. that is who we are. that is what america is. i have been touched by the support we have seen from communities across america. mobilizing to support these efforts. some of these afghans stupidly by u.s. troops. now the will -- now the united states and others are standing with our afghan allies. it exemplifies the best of america. i want to see again, just how difficult this mission is and how dangerous it is for our troops on the ground. the security environment is changing rapidly. civilians crowded at the airport , even though we have cleared thousands of them. terrorists may seek to exploit the situation and target citizens or american troops. we are maintaining a constant vigilance to monitor and disrupt threats from any source. including the likely source being isis, referred to as isis k. we are under no illusions about the threat. isis k is a sworn enemy of the taliban. they have a history of fighting one another. every day we have troops on the ground, these troops faced the r

a man who never stepped foot on the united states of america nevertheless begins our surveys of the past and that is christopher columbus this summer. in columbus day, the great deal of pushback for columbus and his reputation. columbus the man, the columbus the myth. a lot of the monuments celebrate columbus the myth. we can talk about columbus the man as we having this course and one of the reasons columbus the myth has gotten pushback is more people have become aware why he deserves critique from enslavement of indigenous people, from the first point of contact in the americas to raping and killing people done at his command in the name of the pursuit of profits and he is celebrated. sort of kickstart of events that led to establishment of european colonies without which he meant the present iteration of america would not be here. the actions of people like columbus whose actions we now condemn as deplorable in many ways, he was a man of his time. we discussed this too. those who columbus ordered participated in notably indigenous people themselves at the time, did not prove what he w

united states of america is so cute. talking 300 million people over this gigantic landmass, all of these cities and also rural areas and problems everywhere how do we mobilize the social financial, all of the different sortsso of resources would be needed to effectively address the source of problems than most on your mind. suet that is the best question because that is where were at this point where we are seeking that kind of help from corporate american others who know how to and have a group in washington dc. for three - four months, they went into one of the most violent areas of washington dc and for three or four months, there is not a single violent incident because of their interventions. we ought to have been racing there with resources and technical assistance to answer that question to say this point what you did and how you did it read this provide you all the resources you need and the technical skills that it takes for the people of no how to market to a larger audience. we want to partner with them so th

america and the caribbean without which of course the united states america would not be here at one of the things that's a common response to critiques of the actions of people like columbus whose actions we now condemn as deplorable in many ways is that he was a man of his time. and we discussed this to in fact that there were always people who stood against atrocities just so that columbus participated in, notably indigenous people themselves at the time. i did not approve of what he was doing but also other europeans at the time and we discussed the historian to cost us who participated in the 1513 invasion of cuba but also came to have a change of heart as a priest and in part as someone who believed the treatment of indigenous people was wrong and aldo nunez who journeyed in what is now florida and texas in the 1530s with alongside him was the enslaved african as the bond which is an interesting point of contention some historians have made with the 1619 project tax the first arrival of enslaved africans when in fact as the bond was there in florida and texas a century before.

i am president of the united states of america. and the buck stops with me. >> will: what a master class in double speak. that's grade a gas lighting as the kids say. always wrong but never in doubt. joe biden has been wrong on every foreign policy decision in his career. and he managed to contradict himself in a matter of minutes, which, if we are being honest means he is beginning to perfect his craft because it took a full month for this embarrassing statement to be proven total malarkey. >> the taliban is not the south -- the north vietnamese army. they are not -- they are not remotely comp flable terms of capability. there is going to be no circumstance where you will see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the united states from afghanistan. it is not at all comparable. >> will: whoops? joe biden spent most of his speech defending the decision to leave afghanistan. the vast majority american people want to leave afghanistan. more than 70% according to most polls. three presidential administrations have tried to

and what happened there secession from the union and the destruction of the united states of america will talk about those kindsri of things but it does not have to be a statutes. i would be for removing those statues from public places, private properties, cemeteries, battlefields. >> host: does it surprise you right across the river here in arlington, virginia they rename the highway about a year ago? >> it does not surprise me. it's an attempt as david said to reconcile a country that of been torn apart but going too far, going too far with that. not thinking about the feelings and the sensibilities in one part of the citizenry that african-americans have been enslaved in the confederacy. and unionism. white people in the north and south remain loyal to the american nation which we talk about johnson that was a good point he believed in the american union. she went back to kate in sacramento's text she has a follow-up question, who is yourur next play in a book subject in my i suggest clara barton stone both outspoken abolitionist. speech i have a couple of projects i had to inter

when they are through customs, they are paroled into the united states of america. if they have relatives, theoretically they can go with their relatives. we are helping them get through the screening process. we provide all the governmental organizations to support that, the medical process, etc.. we are not doing the security screening and support of state department. this is part of the application for special immigrant status. i hope that clarifies it. press sec. kirby: tony? reporter: do you have a breakdown by gender, roughly how may women, girls, boys, men have been processed by dod. are they in separate facilities? -- local kitchens -- gen. vanherck: we are seeing about 50% -- 50-50, male-female. we are seeing 15% of children. a lot of females were pregnant. i do not have a specific detail for what you asked about for the total number with children, male, female, we are seeing right now 513 children at one location for a total of about 30% of that location. regards to your second question, we contract to provide support, multiple males out -- multiple meals,

as the 34th president of the united states of america. and yet, he always retained a saving humility. his was the humility not of fear but of confidence. he walked with the grade of the world and he knew that the greater human. his was the humility of man before god and before the truth. his was the humility of a man, too proud to be arrogant. he restored calm to a divided nation. he gave americans a new measure of self-respect. he invested his office with dignity and respect and trust. he made americans proud of their president, proud of their country, proud of themselves. and if we in america were proud of dwight eisenhower, it was partly because he made us proud of america. he came from the heart of america, and he gave expression to the heart of america, and he touched the hearts of the world. many leaders are known and respected outside their own countries. very few are loved outside their own countries. dwight eisenhower was one of those few. he was probably loved by more people in more parts of the world than any president america

to air munition did they get when they took military personnel from the united states of america that they can shoot down aircraft given that we only have one airstrip that were using at this point and the list goes on, what drone technology did they get that they can put munitions on driving with an aircraft, it's getting more dangerous by the minute their learning more and more what their capabilities based on what they can get their hands on. maria: this is such a critical point that you raise, i have a report that says the u.s. blackhawk helicopters were captured by the taliban as the horrified senators in washington are demanding more from an audit, you have a number of senators and congressmen wanting an audit from the department of defense to understand exactly what sophisticated weapon rate was on the ground and what is this other report that i'm seeing that hundreds amounts of money, what i have here, it was hundreds of millions of dollars in cash that was left as they rush to get over the country. was there also hundreds of millions of dollars in cashless behind? >> we would

i am president of the united states of america. the buck stops with me. i bear responsibility for fundamentally all that's happened of late. here's the deal. former president made a deal with the taliban that he would get all american forces out of afghanistan by may 1. >> joey jones, it is jarring to hear the juxtaposition of that rhetoric. saying no one is being killed. people falling out of planes. peter alexander asked him 48 hours ago about americans left behind and you made a callous joke. then this happened. what do you make of that, of the death, the loss of life. >> knocking on wood isn't a great strategy for making sure people don't die in combat. his inability to read the room, the situation, his inability to speak to the american people or our enemies in a way that conveys strength and resolve is heartbreaking. i mean, i'm a united states marine. i served eight years in the united states marine corps. i don't want to be partisan when it comes to defense. that's not a partisan issue. i don't know if anyone is more than hillary clinton and linds

united states of america is so huge. we have 300 million people over this gigantic landmass all of the cities and the cities but also we have rural areas and we have problems everywhere. how do we mobilize the social financial, all the different sorts of resources that would be necessary or needed to effectively address the source of problems that are most undermined. >> that is the bestmi question because that is where we are at this point where we are seeking that kind of help from corporate american and others to know how to build this me of a group in washington dc the alliance and concert event that for three - four months, theyou went into oe of those most violent areas of washington dc and for three or four months, there is not a single violence incidents because of their intervention. we ought to have been racing there for the resources and technical assistance to answer the question to say let's find out what you, did and how you dd it and it is provide you all the resources you need and the technical skill that

states of america. we have already evacuated more than 18,000 people since july, and approximately 13,000 since our military lift began on august 14. thousands more have been evacuated on private charter flights facilitated by the u.s. government. these numbers include american citizens and permanent residents, as well as their families. it includes siv applicants and their families. those afghans who have worked alongside us, served alongside of us, gone into combat with us and provided valuable services, such as translators and interpreters. the united states stands by its commitment that we made to these people, and includes other vulnerable afghans such as women leaders and journalists. in fact, working in close coordination with the management of the new york times, the washington post and the wall street journal, we have successfully evacuated all 204 of their employees in afghanistan in u.s. military aircraft. we have established the flow of flights, and we have increased the number of people mov

united states of america to open the door in slippers, like what the heck? washington much more formal along those lines. specifically, did he want to know while don is military uniform? i don't know. i have not come across commentary or observations to that effect. frankly the imagery aside, i would be surprised maybe by some this matter but i think my sense is that he would have thought it inappropriate for president-elect of united states of america to go to the ball dressed in military g uniform. >> this is helpful. questions are coming in, this is something i think is a lot of answers to. where did washington learn? i'll just throw up part of it, i know he loved going to the theater. he enjoyed watching place. >> and indeed, no reason not to believe it but sort of the staging at valley forge, i am stumbling here. at cato and so on. you virginians out there, you will understand to have come of age under circumstances coming-of-age in a time of exquisite protocols, and we know from that book and someone it can be overplayed a little bit but one did have t

look at all the people, george washington president of the united states of america and walks into what we might call the joint session and delivers the address. several people in attendance road append response and their impressions. washington sees several that might have had a bead of sweat or two on the brow and maybe aquiver in the voice and shaking of the hands back to this order question. i don't think it ever felt particularly comfortable. that was in the zone that's for sure but we talk about why but one of the legacies why is because i think he thought it was absolutely essential to the ethos of republican government that power shows itself and that it speaks for itself and it lets itself be known that this isn't a european deal much less a french deal or some sort of ritual in the house of commons or something. in any case he stands up and with manuscript in hand maybe shakes a little bit and this is a pretty intense moment and delivers the address. as i say it's the "-- and seven paragraphs and not particularly long but it is very very pointed. one of the reasons i entered i

that is who you have allowed to encircle the united states of america, you want a participation trophy for sinking a ship, saying, oh, you sent out lifeboats to everyone else. that is not the fact of the situation. you should be brought up on no less than 10,000 charges of reckless endangerment for those americans. americans. mark: it is amazing to me, congressman mass, how disconnected this president is from reality. it is also amazing and perhaps this is a psychological issue, i don't know. how coal cold he is, his lack of compassion, he has been quoted by others and books they have written, he knew this this possibility existed he did not give an f . he is -- he is not a thoughtful individual. he is stubborn, that seems to be most of his career, our system is set up as difficult as it is to address this. but it requires his cabinet to take note of the fact he is incabible of leading this country, this is 25 amendment, that requires the house, now in term control of nancy pelosi, she thought this was great a week ago. this was handled beautifully. should not republicans start to talk

and livingston says long live george washington, president of the united states of america. and see, and then into the-- and that's where we might now what we call a joint session. and then delivers the address. several people in attendance wrote, penned their sort of impressions. washington seems-- several noticed that there might have been a bead of sweat or two on the brow and maybe a quiver in the voice and shaking of the hands. back to this orator question, i don't think, ever felt particularly comfortable. that wasn't his zone for sure, but he did it, you know and we talk about why, but one of the legacies why is because it's-- i think he thought it was absolutely essential to the ethos of republican government that power shows itself, that it speaks itself, that it lets it be known that this isn't a european deal, much like a french kind of thing or some sort of ritual in the house of commons or something. no, shows itself. and he stands up with manuscript in hand and maybe it shakes a little bit, but this is pretty entense moment, right, and delivers the address. and

of the united states of america? what caused that? i want to find that out. >> also tackling the problem of violent extremists in the workforce. >> laura: maybe they should focus on the extremists owe thousands of people at the airport. how embarrassing. can you imagine what china must be thinking? taking taiwan will be like taking candy from a baby at this point. of course, it is far easy to demonize your fellow americans though and finally own up the fact you and your fellow general spectacularly failed in afghanistan. that you didn't own up to the obvious inadequacies of the afghan army. that you literally got almost nothing right in this mission right up until the end. >> the afghan security forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country. a negative outcome of taliban automatic military takeover is not a foregone conclusion. >> laura: golly, he's so smart. and from 1 to 10 years before that, they filled americans with false hope. >> the afghans are resolved to mimic this fight. we see suc
