MS NAUERT: Hi.

Good afternoon.

Welcome, everyone, to the State Department.

And if I may have your attention for just a moment, please.

Isn't this such a beautiful center?

It is incredible.

Often, I walk through this center on my way in to work and it's pretty sparsely populated,

so it's wonderful to see so many people in here this afternoon.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

I want to extend a special welcome to our many distinguished guests, including the Diplomatic

Corps and those from the great state of Minnesota.

Where are all the Minnesotans here?

(Applause.)

Raise your hand if you're from Minnesota.

You're from Minnesota, you're from Minnesota, you're from – my husband's from Minnesota.

(Laughter.)

We have a lot of great folks there.

Do you all know how nice Minnesotans are?

You've heard it?

You've heard "Minnesota nice?"

Let me tell you how nice these folks are.

I would go running sometimes in Minnesota with my husband in the middle of winter – January,

February – and we'd be on along for a run, and it's maybe 15 degrees outside,

Fahrenheit, and people would smile and they would say hello at you.

In the middle of winter while you're running.

So we hope that you will consider Minnesota.

We are big fans of it certainly here at the State Department.

I would like to acknowledge the U.S. Diplomacy Center for allowing us to use this space today.

It is a beautiful pavilion.

It was completed last January and funded with private donations as part of a private-public

partnership.

It will be home to the first museum and educational center telling the story of U.S. diplomacy

and also American's diplomats.

We're here today to highlight the strong national support enjoyed by Minnesota-USA

bid to host Expo 2023 and to inspire member-states of the Bureau of International Expositions

to vote for the U.S. bid on November the 15th.

Please, mark your calendars.

We would love your vote.

(Applause.)

Thank you.

The Minnesota-USA project is private-public partnership that started more than two years

ago and is a part of our global campaign to bring a World's Fair back to the United

States.

We would love to see that.

I would like to thank the Office of the Under Secretary for Public Affairs and Public Diplomacy

for coordinating the State Department's efforts and putting today's event together.

I know they have been hard at work at this.

An initiative of this magnitude requires a true champion to advocate on its behalf.

Our Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan is here, and he has embraced this task and

is working tirelessly to mobilize not only the department but the entire U.S.

Government in support of the Minnesota-USA bid.

Deputy Secretary Sullivan is a native of Boston with decades of experience in both private

legal practice and public service, including positions at the Defense Department and also

Commerce Department.

His ties to diplomacy and the State Department started long before he was sworn in as deputy

secretary.

His uncle served as a Foreign Service officer for more than 30 years, and we all know how

important our Foreign Service officers are to the work that we do here every day.

As Deputy Secretary of State, he serves as principal advisor to Secretary Tillerson,

providing guidance and firsthand assistance to the Secretary in the formulation of conduct

of U.S. foreign policy.

We're honored that he is with us here today and that he is such a strong advocate for

Minnesota-USA's bid to host Expo 2023.

Please join me in welcoming Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan, and he is a terrific

guy if you've not had a chance to meet him.

(Applause.)

Sir.

Thank you.

DEPUTY SECRETARY SULLIVAN: Thank you, Heather, for that kind introduction.

I have one qualification to Heather's remarks: I am from Boston and grew up as a hockey player,

a hockey coach, a hockey fan, so I've spent a lot of time both in my youth and then when

I was coaching my children's youth hockey teams in Minnesota – Brainerd, Red Wing,

Winona, Rochester – I've been all over the state, been in many of your hockey rinks,

tournaments, summer hockey camps, and Minnesotans, as Heather said, are just the most wonderful,

sweetest persons, except when they hop over the boards to take a shift in a hockey game

and then they're pretty nasty.

(Laughter.)

So I can speak from personal experience on that.

But I'm delighted to see so many people here to support this bid and all of those

who have played an instrumental role in the United States bid for Expo 2023.

I want to recognize the foreign diplomatic corps are present this afternoon, as many

of the foreign ambassadors who are here.

Thanks to all of you for being here and for standing behind this important cause.

Four months ago, I met with many of you at the department as one of my first public appearances

as Deputy Secretary of State, at which time I spoke about the United States initial efforts

to bring the World's Fair back here to our country.

I'm thrilled to report that since that time, the U.S. proposal has advanced to the final

round.

Our teams have been very busy highlighting why the United States, and more particularly

Minnesota, is the ideal location with the perfect theme for that state – health and

wellness – to host the World's Fair or Expo in 2023.

As Heather mentioned, the expo is a public-private partnership, one that's driven by grassroots

efforts of the Minnesota World's Fair Bid Committee under the dedicated leadership of

the committee president and chief executive officer, Mark Ritchie.

Thank you, Mark, for all your work.

Many of you know Mark, who is the former Minnesota secretary of state, and in a moment he'll

provide us with the latest update on the bid, including details on the recent announcement

of the proposed expo site in Minnesota.

Before Mark comes up here, I'd like to highlight the impressive work done thus far to effectively

mobilize international support for this important commercial and diplomatic initiative.

I want to thank our terrific Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon, who himself

is a Minnesota native, and his colleagues from the regional bureaus present here today

for their diplomatic engagement in support of the expo.

Many have moved mountains to get us here to this point.

In May, Congress passed legislation by unanimous consent authorizing the United States to rejoin

the Bureau of International Expositions, or BIE, which is the Paris-based organization

that governs participation in the World's Fair.

Secretary Tillerson then signed the treaty accession documents that were deposited in

Paris.

Thank you to the Minnesota congressional delegation, as well as the leaders of the House Foreign

Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations Committee, for getting this legislation passed.

You'll hear later in the program from two members of the Minnesota delegation that are

with us today: U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar and U.S. Representative Tom Emmer.

Thanks to all of you for your help in getting us to where we are today.

In June, the Bureau of International Exposition's general assembly voted to advance the U.S.

bid to the final round that will be held in Paris on November 15th.

Earlier this month, the United States once again became a voting member of the Bureau

of International Expositions, and I look forward personally to traveling to Paris next month

to cast the U.S. vote in support of this expo, the first in more than 15 years.

(Applause.)

My colleagues in the United States and around the world, including my former colleagues

and friends from the Department of Commerce, have spoken to you and representatives in

your capital about the Minnesota-USA bid.

There is strong federal support for this public-private partnership in what would be the first World's

Fair that'd take place in the United States in almost 40 years.

BIE delegates have attended U.S.-hosted expo events in Paris, Brussels, and London, and

many of your consuls general in the United States have attended expo events in Minnesota

and Chicago as well.

I understand that several of you will join Deputy Chief of Protocol Cam Henderson in

the Office of the Chief of Protocol's Experience America trip to Minnesota in the near future.

For those ambassadors or charges who have not yet signed up for the trip, please speak

with protocol today before you leave.

It's not too late to join.

We want you to experience Minnesota as we seek to bring the world there in 2023.

We can all agree that there's something inspiring about a World's Fair, a time when

the world comes together to celebrate, explore, and discover the promises and opportunities

of new technologies and partnerships; in this case, to focus on the increasingly important

areas of health and wellness.

Minnesota, home to some amazing medical technology companies and a region regularly ranked as

one of the healthiest metropolitan regions as a – regions in the country, is an ideal

location for such an expo.

The Smithsonian's American History Museum even included Minnesota's Medical Alley

as one of the featured regions in their current exhibition, Places of Innovation.

I still fondly remember my experience as a child when my parents took me to the New York

World's Fair in Queens in 1964.

For those of you who have not been to the Queens Museum in New York City, there's

a great World's Fair exhibit that captures that time and experience through a fantastic

scale model of the city.

It's really something to see.

If you haven't been to a World's Fair yet – and I stress "yet" – I hope

that we will have the opportunity to come together in Minnesota in 2023 for the Healthy

People, Healthy Planet Expo.

However, in order for that to happen, we need your support, and we need your vote on November

15 in Paris at the BIE general assembly.

So again, I thank you all for coming this afternoon and appreciate your ongoing efforts

to make

the 2023 expo in Minnesota

a reality.

Thanks very much.

(Applause.)

NFL Players Upset Their Anthem Protest Isn't Working Anymore,Teamed Up With Obama |MK Entertainment - Duration: 4:58.

NFL Players Upset Their Anthem Protest Isn't Working Anymore, Just Teamed Up With Obama

To SCREW America In New Way.

It wasn't enough for spoiled "oppressed" millionaire athletes to complete destroy our

favorite pass time with their anti-American antics.

Now Kaepernick and pals are making things extremely personal, going straight after patriotic

Americans and outrageously labeling those who disagree with their protests as "racists"

who don't care about black people being killed by cops.

After a successful onslaught on America's patriotism, these idiots are now going straight

after the Second Amendment and pushing an Obama-initiated gun grab, as their bold move

to erase everything that our country stands for reaches astonishing new levels.

If there's one thing we've learned from these ongoing protests, it's that these

ungrateful athletes have no concept of what being an American truly means, otherwise these

players wouldn't choose to disrespect our soldiers who fought for their freedoms every

time they take a knee.

These protests are nothing but a political ploy to demonize "white America," as we

continue to see these athletes throwing up black power salutes when they tackle white

players as a way for these racist atheltes to proclaim their "supremacy", over the

white race.

So it should come as no surprise that these communist-loving racists would go straight

after the one thing that sets America apart from any other country in the world, our Second

Amendment rights.

Sean Hannity reported:

The same NFL players who choose to "take a knee" in protest of racial injustice in

America are now turning their sights on the US constitution; targeting the Second Amendment

in a new push to tighten gun control regulations across the country.

ESPN is reporting that the San Francisco 49ers -the team, that started the divisive practice

of kneeling during the national anthem- is now targeting the Second Amendment; donating

$500,000 to promote strict gun laws in the US.

"The Niners have pledged $500,000 toward the campaign, which will advocate for legislation

banning 'bump stocks' and other mechanisms that allow semi-automatic weapons to become

automatic weapons, as well as silencers and armor piercing bullets," writes ESPN.

"The parties are also pledging to join with others to forge a public awareness campaign

centered on improving police and community relations," the author adds.

They say the definition of insanity is repeating the same mistake and expecting different results.

After weeks of alienating their fans with NFL ratings now plummeting to startling and

historic double-digit lows, this move is sure to raise even more eyebrows among furious

fans who are already livid over these millionaire athletes trying to inject their ridiculous

political viewpoints on Americans.

"To date, TV ratings are down roughly 20% from this time in 2015, as angry fans change

the channel after weeks of player protests," Sean Hannity went on.

This is nothing more than Obama's foot soldiers continuing to push his anti-American legacy

now that their black messiah is out of office.

What Kaeprnick and the 49ers are attempting to do is a continuation of Obama's gun grabbing

attempts, and just like all liberals do, these atheltes are using the latest gun-related

incident of Las Vegas to push their gun grabbing agenda.

Breitbart reported:

It appears the 49ers are ready to pick up where Obama left off, and they are joined

by the Los Angeles Police Protective League, an LAPD union, in so doing.

On October 26 Breitbart News reported that the Los Angeles Police Protective League is

pushing for a ban on suppressors, armor-piercing ammunition, and bump stocks.

On February 15, 2015, Breitbart News reported that the Obama-era push was directed toward

M855 rounds for the AR-15.

The rounds are fully legal under the auspices of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which bans

handgun ammunition categorized as armor piercing.

The Obama ATF attempted to apply the ban on handgun ammo to rifle ammo as well, even though

the M855 round was one of the most popular AR-15 rounds for sporting purposes at the

time.

And it was precisely because of the round's popularity that the NRA-ILA described the

attempted ban as "a move clearly intended by the Obama administration to repress the

acquisition, ownership, and use of AR-15s and other .223 caliber general purpose rifles."

These millionaires have one freaking job to do and it's to play football.

But for reasons that defy all logic, these athletes think that Americans should care

about their political viewpoints.

With many Americans already irate over these protests, you can be sure that these ball

players' decision to go after our Second Amendment rights will be complete suicide

for the league, as I don't see any red blooded patriots about to stand idly by while these

morons disrespect not only the soldiers who gave them our freedoms, but the Second Amendment

rights that continues to ensure our nation stays free from tyrants.
