american brand, for the american people people and our allies. we did not negotiate from a position of strength. we acted from a position of weakness. as a result, one of the world's worst despots walked away today from helsinki with a win. vladimir putin is leaving helsinki with an undeserved legitimacy. the united states took a loss today when we backed away from our long-standing commitment to principled american leadership and, frankly, we walked away from basic reality. today the press asked the president of the united states who he believed on the subject of russian information operations in the u.s. in 2016. did he believe in the men and women in the is u.s. intelligence community or did he believe in vladimir putin, a member of the russian intelligence community? a thug turned russian despot. the choice here was between people 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, quote, that he didn't see any reasons, quote, quo why putin

"the big picture" salutes the canadian army and brings you a report on its distinguished past, and its dynamic president. with me here at the citadel fortress of quebec are two canadian soldiers, sergeant mcmanus and accompany major. sergeant major, you are with the canadian guards. >> yes, sergeant. member of the canadian guards. the regiment was formed in 1953 and became canada's first national regiment. its motto means from sea to sea. host: what are your assignments? with [french spoken] . we are a french unit. most of our men are french and come from

million new american jobs and $10 trillion of new american wealth, at least. and that's not including the fact that, since i was elected, we've created approximately $7 trillion of new wealth. the year before i came into office, private business investment grew at only 1.8%. last year, it jumped to 6.3%. that was my first full year. we had to do a lot of things to get it to grow. and this year, it's growing at 9.4%. so that's a very tremendous increase. there hasn't been an increase like that in many, many years -- decades. and i think the most important thing -- and larry kudlow just confirmed to me, along with kevin hassett -- that these numbers are very, very sustainable. this isn't a one-time shot. i happen to think we're going to do extraordinarily well in our next report, next quarter. i think it's going to be outstanding. i won't go too strong, because then if it's not quite as good, you'll not let me forget it. but i think the numbers are going to be outstanding. we've accomplished an economic turnaround of historic proportions. when i came into office, 1.5 million f

say a few words about why i am in opposition to mr. kavanaugh. i think many americans have a pretty good sense of what the function of congress is, what the president of the united states does. but, in fact, i think many americans do not fully appreciate the role thatap the supreme court place in our lives. in the past decade alone, the supreme court has issued some incredibly controversy all, and to my mind, disastrous decisions that have had a profound impact on the lives of the american people. let me just read you for a momentnt why this nomination iso very important. in looking at what the supreme court, often via 5-4 vote, a one-vote majority, has done in recent years. mr. president, if you go out onto the streets of i think any community in the united states of america, whether it is a conservative area or a progressive area, what most people will tell you is that we have a corrupt campaign-finance system. a system which today as we speak allows billionaires to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy elections. and most americans, whether they are democrats or republican

assembled. thank you. last night president trump took a step that millions of americans fear he would take. nominated to the supreme court someone who would fill his campaign promise to overturn roe and declare health care for americans unconstitutional. with judge kavanaugh's nomination, the president has put women's reproductive rights and vital health care particularly those that protect families with pre-existing conditions at grave risk. the american people cannot afford either. for every american who cares about women's health, about protections for people with pre-existing conditions, about civil rights come a labor rights, lgbtq writes, environmental rights, now is the time to fight. now. now is the time for american people to make their voices heard loudly, clearly from one end of this country to the other . now is the time to demand a justice who will protect our health care, not strike it down. now is the time to demand a justice who recognizes a woman's personal liberty, her right to make her own health care choices . instead of one who will put the government between a wo

the american political novel. he -- first it is beautifully written. he is a great craftsman who wrote about politics. you could add in a few people like steinbeck and others. it was a that she was a gifted writer. he captures the paradox of politics and power. politics is inevitable and necessary and you have to have power to make things happen and to bring about change. he also talks about how power intoxicatingand for somebody who wields it and powers shapes the power wielder in the case of governor willie stark, loosely based on huey long. it captures that story. most important way, that book is important because it is about responsibility. governorbook is about isrks aid, jack arden who from the oligarchy, he is from the privileged class, highly educated, a former reporter and he gets sucked and and he becomes the back man and the dirt collector and does horrible thats and rationalizes doing someed person good things is ok to work with. late in the novel does he come to understand the moral awakening about good and bad. nobody in american literature has captured that as well

could hold an american citizen as an enemy combatant during war of terror outside the criminal process. no one was talking about history. it occurred to me this is not the first time in american or english history that we've been at war and the president has wanted to take prisoners, and we'd needed to have a discussion about what legal framework governed the choices that were available. that started me down this path which eventually culminated in me writing this book to tell that history. >> lot of the book is indeed the english history of habeas corpus and you quote john marshall who said that we need to understand the privileges in english law order to understand ours. you explain how the history dates all the way back to the magna carta, but this important english law, this english habeas corpus act of 1679. could you tell us about those laws how they are the roots of the habeas corpus privilege here in the united states? >> john marshall said, in dissecting the suspension is -- suspensions clause, the habeas provision, the terms were well understood deriving as they did f

millions of americans with pre-existing conditions and the hard-working americans or anyone who believes and shares the president's belief that extension of the president's power and not a check against him. and provide equal justice under law. that's what it is says in the vermont marble. that is what we feel. and that's what this nominee has yet to prove. and i see our leader here, so i yield him. senator schumer: here i am. i want to thank our members of the judiciary committee led by ranking member feinstein for the great job they do, one of the most talented group of senators that i have ever seen assembled and i have seen a lot of senators assembled so thank you all. last night, president trump took a step that millions of americans feared he would take and nominated to the supreme court someone who fill his campaign promise to overturn roe and declare health care for americans unconstitutional. with judge cavanaugh's nomination, the president has put women's reproductive rights and vital health care protections, particularly those that protect families with pre-existing c
