Are really dynasties in the way they impacted american political life. There is a component of this that a lot of people do not stand. Not just the relationship between Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Kennedy the relationship between Eleanor Roosevelt and john f. Kennedy. We will start with the relationship between Franklin Roosevelt and joe kennedy. Joe kennedy may most of his money in a night 20s in the market. He was appointed as the head of the Security Exchange commission. Some said that was putting the oxen control of the henhouse. Joe kennedy really became a very close confidant of fdr. You want to talk about how he managed that posting in london right before the war . It is an interesting time. I almost want to go back a tiny bit before that. When young people are in the age where they are graduating from high school, whoever is the president in that moment, has a profound impact on them. Fdr is the president as jfk comes of age. Much of his vision of what is the nation is inform
Its fullness in eternity, we bring our petitions to you using some of his final words. Bless the members of this peoples house and those in authority on all levels of society with wisdom and courage to address the unholy oppression that awaits so many of our brothers and sisters of color. May there be a new creative way of establishing Something Like Community Policing that peace and security might be enjoyed where we live. O lord, do we dare to consider the power of nonviolence in our homes, our communities, our nation, and perhaps in leadership for our world. Might we truly be called, if not challenged, to beat our swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks so that nations shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall we learn war anymore. And as we are reminded, the greatest expression of nonviolent challenge to injustice is the vote. Bless all efforts to secure access to the ballot for all american citizens. Help us, o lord, to answer the highest calling of our he
Coronavirus cases and now accounts for about a quarter of covert deaths globally nevertheless donald trump is still trying to convince everyone that washington is leading the fight against the virus but mexico and even the e. U. Arent convinced as head of balkan explains over 130000 americans have died from coded 19 and the number of those infected across america has surpassed the 3000000 mark but that hasnt stopped us leaders from bragging claiming that the usa is the leader globally in fighting the virus i think the world is looking at now says a leader and covert 19 we showcase. 99 percent of which are totally harmless.

The committee will come to order. Thank you all for coming today, i dont think all of you for being here. It is our honor to have the deputy secretary of state here to testify on u. S. Policy regarding peoples republic of china. I originally defaulting back in march, however, our need to focus on the Community Protests from doing that. It is important this committee continue its work on its most committing Foreign Policy challenges, obviously china is one of those. As a complete mistrust correctly recognized, china is a strategic in global competitor of the United States. It would be the greatest Foreign Policy challenge the United States faces in decades to come. Policies of the Chinese Communist party undermine u. S. Interests and values, as we share with partners around the world. Covid19 has brought this challenge the fork front of american life. We now know just how much the Chinese Communist partys decisions and actions directly affect u. S. Citizens, our allies and partners in t
Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, everyone. As we begin our final day of consideration of the fy21 spending bills, id like to thank you all for your kind words and well wishes and ask you, please, to indulge me in just a few more reflections. I came to congress in 1989, one of just 31 women in the house and senate and to this committee in 1993 alongside only six other women under the 64member panel. This body is better for the 100 women serving in the 116th congress and for the many women in the room today. Its my honor to address the full committee for my final time as the first woman chair.
