whatsoever in the united states of america. and number two, no president, democrat or republican, has the constitutional authority to give away u.s. sovereignty. and we won 6-3. and in the final iteration of the case it, too, dropped down to 5-4. we're one justice away. from the supreme court concluding that the united nations and the world court can bind our justice system. we are one justice away from the supreme court subjecting us to international law and taking away sovereignty which vests in one place and one place only -- we the people. and i think justice scalia's passing has elevated the assessment that the men and women of nevada are making. as you look at the very fine individuals standing on that debate stage, the question to ask that i believe the people of nevada are asking is who do i know. beyond a shadow of a doubt, who do i know will nominate strong, conservative justices that will protect my rights. and i give you my word that every justice i appoint to the supreme court will be a principled constitutionalist

that's the united states of america. as long as we're not scared of it. we always adapt to change. because there's a nation of inno va tors and risk takers, we make change work for us. we knew it was going to take one year or even one president to get where we need to go. but we can see real tangible evidence of what a new economy looks like. it looks like this facility right here. it's brimming with industry and commerce and new industry and technologies and higher skilled wage workers. we make it better than anybody else because we've got the best workers and the best inno va tors and scientists than anybody else. the future is ours. but to finish the job requires steady persistent effort. we can't grow complacent. we can't chase false promises. we've got to be smart. we've got to work together. but i've never been more optimistic than i am now that we will get to where we need to go. because i've seen what you can do. and if we keep working together, everything is possible. thank you, veterans. god bless you, god bless the united states of america. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> her are some of

the united states of america. people around the world actually listen to what people running for president say. and you know, we have to defeat isis. i am proud of the united states military and i'm proud of virginia, which is the home to so 0 many active duty members and veterans. and i know we've got to defeat the terrorists' threat. i've laid out a plan to do that. but part of it requires building coalitions with muslim nations because we've got to go after it, an air coalition led by the u.s., isis, their infrastructure, their leadership, from the air. but we've got to support arab and kurdish fighters willing to take territory back physically. we've got to continue to support the iraqi army, now that we finally have a cease-fire in syria, we've got to work to hold it. while we have it, turn people's attention toward isis and the other terrorist groups. just imagine, i built the coalition that took on the sanctions to impose on iran, put it together, including china and russia. i know how hard it's been. i kno

of the united states of america. as i said before, we are the last line of defense. certainly we want to hear from the epa. i want to hear from the epa. based on what i have seen, the epa officials should have moved much more aggressively after they detected their heightened levels of lead. but states are the primary enforcement agencies for the safe drinking water act, not the epa. the chairman argues that we should let the state continue its own investigation. but i disagree. the state has failed the people of flint. now it's up to us, all of us. and let me be clear. if we act selectively for political reasons then we become a part of the problem. the information has been brought to us and we now have a duty to investigate all aspects of the crisis. we simply do not have the right to remain silent. we do not have the right not to act government broke it, government must fix it. and so today every democrat on the committee has joined together to sign this letter to the chairman. it invokes our right under the house

that he released today forecast that with the next ten years, the ta united states of america will spend more on interest on our debt than we spend on national defense. deb now, i want everyone to soak that in. than wh taxpayer will spend more on interest on our debt, our debt payments, than we spend on plan national defense. e the president came into office,t there was $10.6 trillion in total debt. in the president's budget lays out a plan that by the end of his n budget there will be $27.4 erat. the ho this is an issue for us. unt it continues to accelerate. until this body and until the house and until a white house problem, it will not be solved. i don't say this flippantly. the president and i have had this conversation. he does not believe that increasing deficits, that is as overpending what we bring in, is a problem.he he believes, as he's shared witt me and the american people rue publicly, that if the government overspends a little bit, that r stimulates the economy. well, that might be true in soml economic formula. but when our interest payments s are larger than total what w

and i believe that the security of the united states of america is absolutely at stake in the choices we make in order to help fill these voids. not do it alone, but work through these global institutions in order to push back against this potential vacuum that invites failure and violence and extremism to fill the void. and i hope people will see this budget in that entire context. there's so many different things. what we're doing on aids, what we did with ebola. what we do in terms of our broad-based entrepreneurial encouragement. what we do with the program the president started for young african leaders in order to bring them here and help them to train and learn. all of these things are good, solid investments for the long-term future and security of our country. >> we go to mr. lee zeldon of new york. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. secretary, thank you for coming back before the committee. i wanted to discuss the iran nuclear agreement. the president has stated that the nuclear agreement is not based on trust but is based on verification. this past monday i received a letter f

no one service wins a war for the united states of america. it takes a nation to win it. and as far as the military goes, it's all the services working together in time and space to get the effects you want. in the pacific, the army plays an absolutely vital role. i think you would hear the same out of admiral harris for sure on the korean peninsula. i'm committed to the pacific and the army has a very important role to play. >> i want to appreciate general books as well for his leadership. more faces and more places with less bases i know is his saying. if you wouldn't mind spending a little bit of time talking about how pacific pathways actually works and how it fits into how the army has historically worked in the region and also how it's consistent with the army's mission, consistent with its mandate, but also a bit of an innovation. >> so pacific pathways is a series of exercises. it's not a singular exercise. it's an umbrella term that comes with a series of exercises where they're directed at reassuring allies and exercising strategic d

[ applause ] terry wants to remind us that was a different clinton back then. we have a number of guests here with us i would like to mention before we start. and would recognize

whether and those from the arab league, not the united states of america. when i heard that and statement was wondering whether or not they had been further engaged ii militarily or not and whether they have shown -- iso know abor yemen. but have they shown -- but isil is still a threat to them also.t so whether they're willing to step up. same thing to some regards with an may ey in what they may or may not be t doing. let me ask you this question, what they may or may not be doing militarily also in regards to the fight with isil. what about turkey? >> well, turkey is a part of this process, a very intense negotiatione t and an agreement with them to basically put planes after insur lick air base also grateful for the oreign greements we have reached with turkey. and they worked to seal that border, it's much harder for these foreign fighters to get into syria than it was un -- until then. turkey is caring for 2.1 million refugees from syria, spending almost $8 billion. something that people forget about. so turkey is doing a lot here. militarily, they we

so when i'm president of the united states, we're not cutting defense spending. when i'm president we are rebuilding the u.s. military because the world is a safer and better place when america is the strongest military in the world. [ cheers and applause ] when i'm president, we're going to have a real war on terror. here's how it's going to work. the best intelligence agencies in the world are going to tell us where the terrorists are. the best military in the world is going to destroy the terrorists. but if we capture any of them alive, they are not getting a lir, they are aren't getting a court-hearing, they are getting a one-way ticket to guantanamo and we're going to find out everything they know.getting a guantanamo and we're going to find out everything they know.a guantanamo and we're going to find out everything they know.g guantanamo and we're going to find out everything they know. and by the way, as part of our national defense, we're going to take care of our veterans again. we're not doing that now. if you're a veteran, i want to thank you for your

the united states of america recently had its own rating downgraded. but not here in utah. and don't think for a minute that this recognition does not matter. it saves the taxpayer money. aaa is the best you can get, and here in utah we won't settle for anything less. [ applause ] for all the challenges utah faces, it is important to remember that there are 49 other states out there that would love to trade places with us. political gridlock is everywhere in this country. but here in utah we know how to come together. and in spite of our differences get things done. i believe there's never been a better time to live, to work, and to raise a family in this state. so to answer the question i posed earlier, the state of our state is strong. it's outstanding. but it's much more than that. the events of last week's tragedy with officer barney impacted all of us profoundly but equally important was the outpouring of public spirit we all witnessed. we will never forget the 50-mile-long motorcade. the streets lined with children holding flags, and neighbors and friends on overpasse

there's only one superpower, and that's the united states of america. and there will be times when the superpower has to do things that other nations don't have to do. and i am convinced that the best way to prevent the loss of blood certainly -- certainly the lessons of the last century showed us is that there may be times when we have to come in early so that we will prevent a recurrence of what happened with the rise of nazi germany. mr. keyes: i think. senator mccain: which is a classic example of that. mr. keyes: i think that what we have to avoid, however, is taking a unilateral approach in these sorts of matters that encourage other countries to shrink from their responsibilities, not to develop their capability and potential, and not to take responsibility for policing their regions of the world. they should not expect that the united states is going to come in and substitute for their responsibility. and if we encourage them to believe that that's going to be the case, we actually destabilize situations, we don't help them. larry king: moved to

or blue stads, only the united states of america. i had to slap myself. as a conservative abi, i'm not supposed to like that guy but i did. i was inspired about that for a while. but here's the deal. he came into office and almost immediately started -- are you guys about finished? he started pushing people down to make himself look better instead of forging consensus to get to the united states of america, it was clearly red versus blue each and every day. he jammed down the throat to the american people that obamacare, the stimulus. and we now have this divide that is really dangerous for our country. here's the deal. this was nothing in his past that would give you a sense that he could lead. he was a community organizer, certainly an intelligence guy for sure, a community organizer, a state senator with nothing, no accomplishment to speak of and for two years he was the united states senator. that was it. and the net result is that lack of leadership in this constant pushdown to make yourself look better has created real problems

the united states of america is the hope of the world. i sit on armed services and i get a lot of meetings and hear a lot of things and see a lot of things sometimes i wish i didn't have to, but i do. with that being said, we are still the hope of the world. i was asked many times and i know you are all asked as you go around whether it's schools or town hall meeting, mostly in schools, how do you become a leader, what does it take to be a leader. they look at all of us as leaders. you have been elected to the highest position in your states and i had a little girl one time, i will never forget, sixth grader, little school in west virginia. she says mr. governor, i just think a leader should be a dealer in hope. a leader is a dealer in hope. if you can't give the people of your state hope that it's going to be better no matter how tough and how difficult and how challenging it may be, then they have lost all confidence. you are a leader because you are a dealer in hope. if you never forget that, no matter what faces you, no matter how tou

all over the united states of america your pipes are full of lead. neither the federal government nor your state, federal government should have been pressing this, should have been giving money for this. you should have been adding money of your own to change pipes or to use control. that is a problem in our ancient water system. so, i want to know how to get a quick fix now. these people are not going to remove themselves from flint. they can't sell their homes now. nobody wants to come to flint, an already troubled area. let's look at, mr. creagh, let's look at corrosion control. that was the addition of a substance. that's how it's done in the united states. they're not yanking out every pipe. they're using this substance. are you committed to using this substance? what is the cost of this substance? and how early can this chemical to control the lead to keep it from leaching into the water be inserted into the water supply? may i get a direct answer to that question. >> yes, that actually was -- the additional phosphate was added on december 9th

united states of america present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. they present to the confederates in the world the causes that led to the separation. for the last 10 years, we have had numerous and serious causes and complaints against us from our non-slaveholding states who reference african slavery. they have endeavored to weaken our security, to disturb our domestic peace and tranquility, and persistently refused to comply with their express constitutional obligation to us in reference to that property, slaves. and by the use of their power in the federal government have striven to deprive us of equal enjoyment in the territories of the republic. they, too, are unhappy about the fact that there have been discussions about bringing slavery to an end. but also not allowing slavery to expand into new territories. opening up to the nation in the years that follow. to them, we can add mississippi and others. it is clear that slavery and the possible end of that institution is an important issue for them and pushes them to make the decisio

or blue states and only the united states of america. as a conservative i'm not supposed to like this guy, but i did. i was inspired by that for a while. here's the deal. he came into office and started -- are you almost finished? are you going to stay here? i have to get used to you. he started pushing people down to make people look better instead of forging consensus. it was clearly rez versus blue every day. he jammed down the throat obamacare and the stimulus and we have a divide that is dangerous for our country. there was nothing in his past that would give you a sense that he could lead. he was a community organizer and a smart guy and a state senator with no accomplishment to speak of and for two years, a united states senator. that lack of leadership in this constant push down to make yourself look better created rule problems. fast forward eight years and now we finished the iowa caucuses on our side. the three front huhhers. donald trump is gifted. trust me. he is a gifted entertaining man and knows how to say things that giv

states of america, no transmission that i'm afraid of. most of what we found so far are individuals who have traveled somewhere else or come into the united states. this isn't a south united states problem. in fact, right now -- we have a chart we could show later. i think as far as wisconsin in the united states and what is a 23 states have now had cases where they have determined that someone was infected with zika virus. and we don't have infection from mosquitos in the united states. we have people coming in from outside who have been infected with that disease. so we still have a long way to go in the detection process. we don't know all the connections and we'll have questions and some directions about where we're going to look at how we can go after the disease, either for vaccinations or for treatment. it was again somewhat limited in the united states and once again getting a head start on it in a single case. i just had lunch with a local health director. i thought that was very informative because i wanted to hear from him how
