For the complete American History tv schedule, go to cspan. Org. Obama ononth president lgbt right and activism in his weekly address. Then senator richard burr response, focusing response, focusing on terrorism. Hi, everybody. the story of america is a story of progress, written by people who put their shoulders to the wheel of history to make sure that the promise of our founding applies not just some, but to all of us. Blacksmith that shows revolution over tyranny, immigrants across oceans. Women who reached for the ballot is a scientists who shop for the move. Preachers and porters and seamstresses that guided us toward the mound top of freedom. Sometimes we can mark progress in special places, hollowed ground where history was written, places like independence hall, gettysburg, seneca falls, kitty hawk and cape canaveral. One of these special places is the Stonewall Inn. In 1969, eternally decade winding down, the Stonewall Inn was a popular Gathering Place for the Lgbt Community. At the time, being gay, lesbian, transsexual, was visited of seeing, even a mental illness. When i, police raided the bar and start up the started arresting folks. Mistimed the patrons had enough. They stood up and spoke out. It became protests, the protests became a movement. The movement ultimately became an integral part of america. Over the past several years, we have seen achievements that would have been unimaginable to the people that started the modern lgbt movement at stonewall. Today, all americans are protected by a hate crime law that includes Sexual Orientation and gender identity. Do not ask, dont tell is history. Companies can no longer turn you away because of who you are. Transgender americans are more visible than ever, hoping to make the nation more inclusive. One year ago this weekend, we lit the white house in every color, because in every state you are now free to marry the person you love. There is still work to do. As we saw two weeks ago in orlando, the Lgbt Community still faces real violence and discrimination, and kate. We cannot hate. We cannot rest, we must push for equality and tolerance. But the art of our history is clear, it is of progress, and a lot of it can be traced back to stonewall. This week, i am designating the Stonewall National monument as the newest addition to the parks system. It will be the first National Monument to tell the story of the struggle for lgbt right. I believe our National Park should show the whole story of our country, the richest and diversity of our american spirit. That we are stronger together and we are one. Then makes us that is what makes us the greatest nation on earth. Senator richard burr and i am the chairman of the subcommittee on intelligence. I would like to talk to you ofut terrorism and that that and the threat of prices and other extremist groups. The challenge we face today is unlike one we have ever known. The message is not new. It is their leveraging of our technology and innovation to kill that makes this a new threat. That is why the Obama Administration needs to treat the threat posed by isil seriously and lead a campaign to the heat to defeat the terrorist group. Eat print low way to do def isil, is to defeat them in iraq and syria. The cia director testified before my committee and the American People about the growing threat of terrorism and how our Intelligence Community is challenged to protect us from attacks. The hearing took place just four days after 49 individuals were tragically murdered in orlando by a disturbed and evil person. Chillingly, the cia director predicted more attacks like ande in San Bernardino orlando, assessing the isil can draw on fighters who could potentially serve as operatives for attacks in the west. I have said before, that we live in a society, one that values freedom and diversity, contrary to what some will have you believe, you can live in a free and open society while still being safe. I also feel strongly that we need to continue to protect American Civil Liberties and privacy. The content of our phone calls, email discussions, bank transactions, medical records and data should be sicker. Secure. I believe that consumer data is too insecure and we should take solutions protect information. Some of those consumers now happen to be terrorists and they are using secure messaging applications to recruit, plan and execute attacks against civilians. What is increasingly clear is that the very technology that is enabling tremendous innovation in manufacturing, medicine and other areas of the global economy, is also providing terrorists ways to innovate and propagate their evil. We are at a point in time where laws that were enacted to provide capabilities to Law Enforcement and the intelligence agencies are out of date and in some cases, no longer applicable. We face a growing and significant threat from michael and contrary to what the administration would have you believe, we face a threat at home and abroad from an ever capable al qaeda. We have learned from 15 years at war, that we cannot sit back and expect to be protected at home the great expanse of the atlantic and pacific oceans. Terrorism is global. We will win the fight against our adversaries, but we will only win if we take the fight to them. I have said it before either we mustto, true, attack isil and al qaeda where they recruit, where they plan their attacks. We must deny the terrorists a safe haven. We have not effectively blocked brought the collective america to the fight. Steps inaking small small in some areas, and not others. We have not directed the full capabilities of this nation against this problem. Terrorism has reached our doorstep and touched innocent civilians, in boston, San Bernardino, and orlando. Right now, i feel that the question is not if, local, state and federal Police Officers will have to respond to another attack, it is when. And i am not willing to accept that it is a reality and a new norm. The director made it clear that despite all the progress against isil on the battlefield and in the financial realm, our efforts have not produced or reduced terrorism capability and reach. He assesses that as the pressures mount on isil, it will intensify their campaign. The president has spoken often about progress and the correlation of countries that have tried to contain isil and their reach. To remove it fighters from the battlefield. Lets be realistic about the problem before us. Lets understand it and lets address it, well the u. S. Led coalition has made progress, america and allies have simply not made the progress we need in order to eliminate isis. America is the greatest country on earth and our allies are with us. The time to take action is now. I am senator burr, thank you for listening. Journaln washington live every day with policy issues that impact you.
