and it didn't come from washington. washington despised ronald reagan. by the way, if you see a candidate washington embraces, run and hide. it came from the american people, and it turned this country around. we went from misery and stagnation and malaise to booming economic growth, to millions lifted out of poverty into prosperity and the american dream. we went from our hostages languishing in a rant to winning the cold war and tearing the -- to winning in iran the cold war and tearing the berlin wall to the ground. why am i so optimistic? because the same thing is happening again. all across virginia, this country, people are waking up. there is an awakening. there is a spirit our revival that is sweeping this country -- there is a spirit of revival that is sweeping this country. you know, when we launched this here in march at liberty university -- [applause] thiscruz: when we launched campaign, "the new york times" cannot win. because the washington elites despise him. i kind of thought that was the whole point of the campaign. listen, if you think

ultimately it is going to take washington, d.c. to pass reasonable gun laws that most americans agree with to try to drive down the death rate from gun violence. one state with stronger laws and estate next to it with weaker laws, it prevents gun - trafficking from one state to another. that increases gun violence. every time a study is done, states with stronger gun laws have a lower death rate cared it varies dramatically. hawaii has about two people per 100,000 per year die from gun violence. the other end would be a state like louisiana with 18-20, almost 10 times the amount. josh: it is interesting you bring up terrorism. following the shootings in san bernardino, those who reacted with a cry for gun control, we' ve got to get a handle on weapons, they were chastised or critiqued for coming out so did the argument fit into that, obviously it was a bad tragedy. mr. kelly: san bernardino, like a lot of the mass shootings, it does not seem that there is anyone law that would stop that specific tragedy. you' d maybe if those peopl

medical center in washington, d.c. when i moved from ohio to northern virginia i went into the medical center and i missed my first appointment -- and this may sound silly -- but because there wasn't a parking spot available. so i didn't even get to experience whether the care was good or not because the access or the barrier to entry was so high. and they have a parking garage now and they've addressed that issue. but that's one example where it's not just about the care it's about the other barriers that exist and one of our jobs and roles and responsibilities is to hold the v.a. accountable so when our members come to us with an experience that's not acceptable, we raise that. and i'll say this about the secretary bob mcdonald, one of the reasons we've actually had faith in bob is because, frankly, he's been responsive. i can't tell you how many members we have sent directly to bob and he fixs the problem. that shouldn't have to happen, frankly, and that's not scalable. that shows us and it shows our members he not

and the work of washington. i think that what government does matters, and i think that understanding the workings of government is important. i think it's important to be an informed voter, and i also think that the people who come here to serve in both parties are -- most of them, almost all of them, do it out of a sense of desire to be good public servants, and to be able to help people in their districts, their states, and the country to the -- and so i am an admirer of washington and an admirer of the work that's done here. so i think that this notion of trying to vilify the government and the people who serve in government is very destructive. i think that the only thing we have -- i would commend to anybody who hasn't done it to come here and go to the national archives, and go into the rotunda there. the closest thing we have to national cathedral, and there are the declaration of independence, the constitution and the bill of rights, like i always say as a catholic we like our lady's altar, the main alt

mike viqueira live at this hour in washington, d.c. mike this is the 15th time now that president obama has had to make such a speech addressing a mass shooting in the u.s. clearly frustration from the white house. >> reporter: and president obama has said in the past particularly after some of the more high profile shootings this year, and there have been so many, that this is the most frustrating thing of his entire presidency. many thought that the moment was here after the tragedy, the unspeakable horror of the sandy hook slayings of the elementary school children so young dying at the hands of the individual. the president pushing something through congress and yet that effort crashed and burned as have so many other efforts. really since president clinton's first term. the issue is partly political. many democrats felt that the effort way back in 1993 lead to the defeat of democrats in congress, losing control of congress in the next election. ever since then it has been bad news for any advocates of gun control. even as the shoo

weeks of training to train them on the issues in washington, how washington operates, how the house of representative operates. we have a number of speakers over that two weeks. washington too intern in the california delegation, both democrats and republicans. it exposes them to washington, how it operates or fails to operate. .t gives them good exposure we think if you are a student body officer there must be something that it inspired you to get involved. we do a leadership program for all of the student body officers system as the csu well as other colleges and universities. we do a lecture system that involves liberals and conservatives discussing issues in a civil way so that students all of the hard line partisan differences we see in washington today, it does not have to be that way. i have seen washington at its best and at its worst. i want young people to understand that washington can work if you are willing to listen and work with others, and try to find consensus. those are some of the things we try to get young people to see. issues thatk at the students are concerned ab

he's not liked in washington by powerful people. this is the same phenomenon i saw when i was working for senator jim demint. a lot of powerful people in washington didn't like him because of what he was doing to disrupt the status quo. once he got outside of that beltway, he was treated like a rock star. even right now if you look at the des moines register favorable ratings of ted cruz, he is the highest in the republican field. as soon as he gets out that have beltway, people are a lot happier to see him. >> ana, your wing of the party, as it were, jeb bush wing, his top priority is pushing donald trump out of the race. would you be okay if you pushed trump out and ted cruz emerged? >> you know, ted cruz would be a very bitter pill to swallow, frankly. i think he's very an ttagonisti. donald trump is a demagog. but he doesn't know what he's talking about. he's pulling it out of thin air. ted cruz actually does know what he's talking about, does know government and knows how government agencies work. he's willing to say anything.

i know washington is rolling. both of these games against washington and the giants very very winnable. >> 19 it back down to lincoln financial field to don b don, i said it to mat just a few moment ago. the game didn't mean a whole lot. however, you would have like to see them come out and play a better game against analyte opponent. >> absolutely this team arizona ailette. 11 to two coming into this game. this is their 7th win on the road. that is a franchise record. that speaks to how well they played this year. but also they well they play on the road. if you are talking about the philadelphia eagles, which we obviously are doing at this point. the thing that you worry about is confidence. during that three game stretch where they loss those games to say miami, tampa bay and detroit, when i talk to defensive coordinator billy davis the thing he was concerned about at that time was can we keep our confidence up. he didn't talk about x's and owes' he talked about mentality. when you lose a game like this at home

and was the chief assistant to george washington he always had given the eye of the storm the washington and jefferson had a spat in writing. so who would be in control? who was the last one to see him who would be responsible? it would be to buy as. and then the leaders that we observe. we cut a premature deal. so the deal because it does not live up to the hype. we have to go. but he becomes an alcoholic. he trained his whole life for this. and with the altman victory in respect. so in the year 89 he knew he lived a historic life i've bought his biography on amazon $112. i was trying to get it and i got it. but if you look in his biography and background should be $1 million. those other types of people if you're looking impact that the one major setback for the uss philadelphia. they went through very shallow water. because then they were cheating. but they run aground then taking 303 prisoners. but the problem was stephen decatur was on board. so that we don't have you will not use it. so i thought i would read you this. is essentially lord nelson said the commander with a small forc

washington did its job. what he 15 brought the resignation of a house speaker, a bombastic gop front-runner, and a socialist challenger to the clinton coronation. another surprise was leaders negotiated and passed and president obama signed major tax legislation. there was no shutdown, less drama, and more dialogue. he writes, could it be the francis factor? he told congress you are all called to defend and preserve the dignity of your fellow citizens in the tireless and demanding pursuit of the common good. this is the chief aim of all politics. on capitol hill, he writes i found leaders after the pope's visit both challenged and affirmed. clearly john boehner's decision and paulthe leadership ryan's reluctant decision to accept it brought different dynamics and willingness to work together. that is from a christmas miracle in washington from the national catholic newspaper, america. we welcome comments on how your religious views impact your political views and it was the religious views of president obama
