7:31 pm
senator from florida and led the investigation. if you want to know what is in most of the 28 pages his book intelligence matters was screened by the cia and he wrote a lot of stuff he could find. it is important we understand what is going on over there. the syrian civil war, the government is alive, and assad is alive with the shiites iran and iraq. the rebels are sunni.
7:32 pm
in the civil war, saudi arabia, qutar, and the u.s. poured tons and tons of weapons, many of which wound up in the hands of isis. saudi arabia executed a shiite cleric that was calling for elections or overthrow but had not committed terrorism. he was a protester in their country. saudi arabia buys all kinds of arms from us. i would say you don't get anymore arms from us. >> from the floor of the congress -- >> i introduced the legislation
7:33 pm
to bring it forward and people who know about the 28-missing pages. if you read about intelligence matters you will get the gist. i will probably not read it on the floor. bob graham went to a lot of what happened. it is important to learn from the past. yes? >> just on the same issue, i think it should be put in very simple terms. senator bob graham said clearly if the 28 pages had been
7:34 pm
released isis would not exist, the people who ran 9/11 and murdered 3,000 of our citizens would not be running free today to continue the mass murderous policy they are prevailing as you see in the middle east. that considered, what possible excuse could you make for not using your authority as a senator to read the 28 pages in the record? we have the authority. we don't need a bill that as you admitted is not going to go anywhere. i tell you this, and i mean this with full respect, that every member of congress who refuses to release this information, and in so doing, to bring an end to this mass murder, which was responsible for our own citizens being killed, and is threatening millions of people in the middle east, ever single one of those people who is killed by isis and
7:35 pm
killed by the saudi arabians on 9/11 their blood is on the hands. two of the people lived in san
7:36 pm
diego for a year with an fbi informant. we caught people trying to fly planes and not land them. in the end, people made mistakes but no one is going to be fired. you have to give up the liberty and be safe next time. i think we need, and in some ways, we don't have enough fbi agents, i would hire more but i would not spend billions looking at the phone records. you need 500 agents spend the money to do it. let's have targeted investigations. the brothers from boston, we were tipped off, and there were public sources he was plotting something against our country. if i am a judge and you call me at midnight i am going to ask to
7:37 pm
look at his records. if you want to look at the people he called, i am a yes. but if you ask me can we look at eve everybody's records in boston i am a no. let's do it specifically. let's have more agents looking at specific threats and not get overwhelmed by the data of all of us that confuses and overwhelms us with information. i have time for one or two more. [applause] >> this is refreshing considering last night's uneventalful visit by clinton. second of all, and i know you talk a lot about this but i would like you to talk about the information bill that was introduced in november and
7:38 pm
written into law in december by president obama. and with the state of cybersecurity in the nation we plan to have concrete plans to counter this. >> the question is about cybersecurity. >> it finally got put into the spending bill. is that your question? my concern about selection of information is whether or not there is due process in the collection of your information. with the sharing of information, i don't have a problem with sharing of information, but i do have a problem if the data that goes along with it has a lot of personal information about individuals. i think that there is a way, and i think there is already a way of sharing information that if there is a certain type of virus or worm that is worked into the code and there is a technique for doing it, by all means people ought to share ways to combat that and there are ways
7:39 pm
of doing it. one reason i don't trust the government with more of the information in the way they setup the bill was that the government had not been very good at protecting information. the office of personal management allowed access to 21 million names including my personal information to a hacker meaning they are not doing a good job protecting their own. business is good at it because they react quickly, are nimble and lose money if people steal their stuff. business is nimble and you can trust business more than government with that nature. i think there can be sharing of information but i thought there were not enough safeguards in the way the bill was put together. i have time for one more >> congress gave the money to planned parenthood and they donate money to hillary's campaign. do you have a problem with that?
7:40 pm
>> a little. [applause] >> they are counting getting pregnancy test and procedures in the vast numbers. surgical procedures a hundred percent of what they do is abortion. what i would do, and you may not
7:41 pm
agree, but i don't think government money should be going to them at all. you could defund them if you were willing to use the leverage of the purse. spending expires at the end of every year. if you let all spending expires, the second it expires, everything you want spending for requires 60 votes. you can shift the balance by letti letting the spending expire. when it comes to emotional stuff, you could say let's keep passing the stuff we agree on and we will get the stuff we
7:42 pm
disagree on and maybe it will take 60 votes to get to the disagreeable stuff. it is how you get rid of waste in government. we spend $43 million on a natural gas gas station in afghanistan. whoever got the money for that should be in jail. they say the estimated cost would be about $500,000. cost $43 million. there are very few cars in afghanistan and none that run on natural gas. imagine trying to have a business and you will build a natural gas gas station that may be part of the future sometime but you build it now and no one is going to use it. they spent 800,000 in afghanistan for a televised cricket league. they don't have televisions in afghanistan. what business is it of ours to borrow money and send it to afghanistan. we studied japanese quail to see
7:43 pm
if they are more sexual on cocaine. i am not kidding. i think we could just stipulate, yes. thanks everybody for coming out. >> there are blue cards on your seat and volunteers walking around. they will make themselves obvious. this is a movement and a movement takes people so put your name on that card and help us all out.
7:44 pm
