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

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

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

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

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

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

americans need certainty. this is an industry that needs certainty if we're going to be able to invest in new innovations, new inventions to keep patients at the forefront of life-saving and life-improving technology to making sure health care is the model of the rest of the world. with that, mr. speaker, i want to yield three minutes to the gentlelady from utah, mrs. love, who has been a strong voice for innovation, not only in her state, but within our conference here in the house of representatives in repealing the device tax. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from utah is recognized for three minutes. mrs. love: thank you, mr. speaker. this is about medical tech noling industry and a manufacturing -- technology industry and a manufacturing success story. one of the last manufacturing enterprises in the united states. while the u.s. is the current worldwide leader in medical technology inowe -- innovation, that leadership is being threatened. i'm speaking to you today about medical device tax. this in

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

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

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

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

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

workers, american steel, american wheels, american engines. made in america. how did it happen? because congress, with democrats in control and a democratic president, said, we're not going to talk about make -- making america great again. we're going to actually pass a law that says this money will be spent on american-made locomotives. and so it was. and now that plant is continuing to expand as they produce cars for transit systems all across this nation. f.d.r. had it right. and we're going to follow. we're going to make sure that the laws of this nation actually provide for the working men and women, for those who don't have a job, an educational program. job training programs. career development programs in community colleges and high schools. apprenticeship programs. so that the men and women of america can participate in the revitalization of the american infrastructure system, where that is a highway -- whether that is a highway, an interstate freeway, an airport, a dock, a port, we're going to make sure that the american workers have

but for americans to see american kids dead, american kids wounded, it really had an impact. so, the american people will kind of except the loss of the war from 1965, 1960 six and 1967. starting in 1960 eight, we've witnessed a much more vocal movement hosing the war. these images, which were relatively well-received initially, in time they started to affect the american position of the war in vietnam. these are the big three on the american side. you recognize johnson in the middle, flanked on his left by mcnamara, the secretary of right, dohen on his you ask income as secretary of state. -- the secretary of state. those are the architects of the war in vietnam. those are the individuals who will effectively be blamed, we should say, forgetting the u.s. involved in the vietnam war. again, as we talked about on tuesday, it is unfair to pin all of this on johnson. his predecessors, kennedy, eisenhower, before him, it really made consequential decisions. which i would argue made it almost impossible for johnson to just avoid an increased american commitment in vietnam. technic

every american should have that experience. thatl need to be reminded the freedom we enjoy is because of the brave men and women who serve in our armed forces. thatso need to ensure future generations understand our freedom will always depend on the service and sacrifice of our nation's veterans. the abmc are responsible for maintaining national cemeteries, to demonstrate our gratitude and inspire our children and grandchildren to follow the examples of patriotism and service embodied by those resting in these cemeteries. that is the only way the united states will continue to be a free country. this is why this hearing is so important. as chairman of this subcommittee, i don't hear many complaints about the nca and taking care of our national cemeteries, but there is always more we can do. andcertainly i know the nca mc have ideas for improvements, and i am looking forward to hearing from our witnesses about ways we can better honor these extraordinary americans. so thank you again for being here today. rankingow yield to the

what is the patriotic impulse dying among americans a new poll shows that not all americans are swelling with national pride the poll indicates that less than half of americans actually say that they're extremely proud of their country and that's what donald trump playing up us exceptionalism we're going to make america you make america great again are you planning to celebrate the fourth of july this year actually i'll be working. every day. all came out this year and when asked if they were proud of their country extremely proud of their country only forty seven percent of americans said yes that's less than half what do you make of that poll. i saw that. i don't understand i'm in the other category i'm extremely proud and now we look so bad for towards other countries who are looking towards us and think that we look so separated now instead of being united i suppose it's about trump mainly really it's just just simply the president. white house i think you get it that there is not a lot of call. happening just faith and leadership to really come down to what i think deep numbers prob

they hide it from the american people because the american people don't agree with it. but they don't want it and they have pushed forward judge kavanaugh to be the torch bearer on the court for their mission. the list of 25 that president trump selected from was vetted and approved by this very heritage foundation. the heritage foundation would not give its stamp of approval to anyone who would maintain or grow our health care law, particularly for protection for americans with preexisting conditions. now the american people deserve to know where judge kavanaugh stands. this is a serious issue. this is not something that we can allow a nominee to hide behind and say i will follow existing law. we need to know their view of government's ability to be involved in people's health care, to help it be funded when the average person can't afford it given how high the costs are. right now several cases that challenge the structure and constitutionality of the court are winding through our courts. if one reaches the supreme court, i will say to my fellow americans your right t

that's what we americans do. the same standard applies here in helping states strengthen and protect their election infrastructure. so we senators in both parties have a choice. we either heed the fact-based warnings of our dedicated law enforcement and national security professionals or we do as president trump has done and say, well, we'll take vladimir putin at his word. i don't. we either choose to act as a coequal branch of government, defend our democracy, or leave that responsibility to a president who doesn't see the threat -- in fact, he embraces the threat even when it's standing right beside him. as i said to my fellow senators, if you believe that russia is fully intent on destabilizing our democracy yet again in november, something every one of our national security and law enforcement officials do, the people read all the classified matters every single day, the people who know our intelligence backward and forward, they believe that russia is fully intent on destabilizing our democracy -- let's sta

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

it was american military might on parade. >> schwarzkopf's presence was important. it was a huge actor on american support for the war. >> the war in the gulf is virtually over. tonight, what may be the final battle of the gulf war. >> headlines in newspapers screamed fight them, but pictures from southern kuwait told a different story. >> the iraqi army began to emerge from their holes in the desert to give up. >> kneel down. >> we knocked out saddam hussein in 100 hours. >> it was a rout. >> this is sand from the liberated beaches of kuwait. >> that was a massive success. and it showed the world a huge lesson, that this kind of aggression would not stand. the problem was that they didn't go all the way to baghdad. >> but that would have been a much bigger military operation because what many of the allies had signed on to was only to liberate kuwait. the united states allowed saddam hussein to stay in power. >> the message flashed in new york city's times square said it all. the war in the gulf has ended. >> saddam hussein had bigger than life ambitions. and he wa

sorry, i am american andl is with you. sorry, i am american and i believe in the alliance and he isa and i believe in the alliance and he is a bully. when it comes to the alliance. i agree with you completely that vladimir putin is a genuine danger, i don't think donald trump is actually scheming in the same way. i don't think that is the way his mind works. but he is and the —— anti—institutional. he says that kim jong un is a good guy, intelligent and honourable and justin trudeau is a liar and disreputable. you just cannot marry this up. he likes dealing with the strong man. his election was pretty would partly by vladimir putin and thatis would partly by vladimir putin and that is one of the reasons why this is dangerous. he will not acknowledge this or have it investigated properly by his agencies. it is a tremendous threat to his own sense of himself. they are to his own sense of himself. they a re two to his own sense of himself. they are two sides of the same bully. we have to be careful about him. he is anti

the american public is it seeing it. >> harris: he said there was no indication or evidence that americans even new online with whom they were dealing. it goes beyond whether or not there was a crime. peggy, as you look at the scope and see the dwindling of from democrats, is this something democrats want to lean on going into the midterm election? >> today to say there wasn't crimes committed against americans is just wrong, you had 12 russians being indicted today because of the fact that they tried to influence our election. why we aren't screaming from the rooftops for more sanctions to be able to go after these russians were trying to influence our elections is beyond me. why the president knowing this information over in england called it a witch can't, continues to call it a witch hunt, instead of the condemnation of these acts is beyond me. >> harris: we will talk about it, stay close. sugar spikes you can really feel it. glucerna. everyday progress. >> hi, everyone, i'm dana perino, 12 russians indicted by the special counsel for interfering with our election. now democrats callin

example of how americans are adapting to changes in our global economy. over the past several months, i crossed of the country to hear directly about how americans are faring in today's economy. to pre a,i traveled illinois. it is a town of small businesses and hard workers. it was forged in steel and lined with railways that radiate out into the amber waves of our country. with local business owners , educators and workers, and asked them about the challenges they are facing. one of them was margaret hanley. in 1928, her grandfather went to work for the town's oldest business, the a lucas and sons steel fabricators. followedher father working every day and saving enough to buy the company in 1982. 04, her family took over the business. i asked margaret how the company is faring. 10 years after the great recession. i asked if her workers had access to the kind of opportunities that made it possible for her father and grandfather to get ahead. my 15 employees are middle-class. they make $30,000 to $50,000 a year. peoria, illinois. they can make a good livi

artists american reporting live from washington d.c. thank you. trump defended himself from the attacks and perhaps his favorite way through twitter he stressed that he has a great confidence in u.s. intelligence which has repeatedly stated that russia meddled in the two thousand and sixteen election but trump added he can't focus on the past as the two nuclear superpowers must get along we spoke to former congressman ron paul who believes that american media is simply used to portraying russia as an enemy. you also mentioned so far in this program about the american media and that is a big problem because for some reason they're almost unanimously endorsing the idea that we have to have an enemy and at this point especially for the last twenty years they've been working very hard to make russia the enemy and i think this is this is wrong and it's not the democrats alone that do this it's the democrats then along with some disgruntled republicans who just they just don't like trump but no i was very pleased with what went on and it's a step in the

mihiel was a major success for the americans. they overtook all of their objectives on the first today. they had the germans on the run. as you pointed out, the better continued for another four days as more of a cleanup. guillaume: it was around 15,000 prisoners captured. the germans were surrounded in their own pocket. that is the landscape. barbed wire. the germans had heavy trenches. still very visible now. very deep ones. mitchell: where did the germans fall back to? guillaume: they had to fortify the line called the mihiel line. that was like 13 miles away from the front line. that is where they retreated, finally. almost until the end of the war, because the frontline stabilized september 16. the major movement for the americans would be to move there. mitchell: by the 13th, the second day of the battle, it was mostly in american hands. guillaume: you can see how the germans are surrounded. it is great to see the landscape 100 years ago. mitchell: right, it does not look much different today. guillaume: exactly. the enemy

nato was shaking in its boots its never had an american president come to one of these annual conference with disparaging words about its member countries in the alliance interesting times to live yeah. trump is making politics interesting again. it's very difficult to predict exactly what he's going to do is that his strategy it is certainly a strategy to keep people off balance and he does have a plan that i think he's going to do is very similar to what he did with kim he's going to come in they're going to cut some sort of a deal and we don't know what it is i don't really what trump can with the russians can give trump would perhaps be a decrease in the role of iran in syria that is within mr putin's gift and it's something he could probably do have any reason to trust mr trump you know he doesn't but he needs to. he wants probably to strengthen trump's position viz a viz the russian stablish went don't you think that we're back but let me go to alex and in athens you know what eric is bringing up here is briley interesting because if any concession is made then it's considered a pi
