6:00 pm
mr. newhauser: everyone's mind is on the attacks on paris. should the house do more? rep. price: as you say, everyone's house and prayers -- thoughts and prayers go out to the victims in paris. the real challenge, the real problem, is that the united states does not have a strategy. the administration has not defined a strategy. they refused doing gauge in this issue in a way that would make it to where we would actually
6:01 pm
defeat isis. what the house did this past week was to say, because the homeland security secretary and director of the fbi say that we cannot be certain that people coming in on the refugee program are coming here and not having any association with terrorist groups -- they are not able to say that. since they are not able to say that, halt the program, and put it in a posture of making it certain that they can vat these individuals in a proper way. mr. newhauser: obama says he will veto this, what would be the next step? rep. price: what the american people need to ask themselves is what does it mean when the president vetoes a piece of legislation that is solely for the purpose of protecting the american people? it is a very troubling time. i call on the president, as does all of our conference to recognize the concerned that the american people have about this issue. this is not child's play. this is a very, very serious issue. to have the president say, even in spite of his homeland security secretary, saying they are not able to appropriately vet these individuals -- they are not able -- that is not republican senators or republican governors, that is his homeland security secretary.
6:02 pm
as the president, he will not listen to that, and continue to allow people into this nation that he cannot with any degree of certainty say they do not have any ties to terrorism -- this is a very troubling event. mr. newhauser: some of your members have been calling on choking down funding unless they can properly vet refugees, or choke off funding to admit refugees at all. you think that is a wise idea, when it could risk something like a government shutdown? rep. price: our responsibility is represent the american people. the calls right now to our office are running roughly 1000 to one making certain that no one is meant into this country that is not properly vetted. you have 30 governors saying that they do not believe it is appropriate to have refugees resettled into their states, republican and democratic
6:03 pm
governors. any way that we can accomplish what the goals of the american people are, and also our responsibility of making sure the nation is safe and secure, and the american people are protected. any opportunity to do that is the right opportunity. mr. taylor: as you know, being chairman of the budget committee is a busy season, and then there is a follow-up season. a few weeks ago, there was a vote on a mini bipartisan budget deal that took care of some of these automatic budget cuts that trouble both pentagon hawks and democrats. the president, who was more money on domestic programs, has some spending cuts that are quite dicey. you voted against it two years ago, and voted for something, put together by your predecessor that followed the same concept. what were you objecting to?
6:04 pm
rep. price: i think the important message to deliver to the listeners and viewers in this program is that as a republican conference over the past five years, we have done a remarkable job in holding discretionary spending level. the problem is that is one third of the federal budget. two thirds of the federal budget that continues to grow in the automatic in mandatory spending programs that continue to eat up more and more of hard-working taxpayer dollars. in this instance, we believe, i believe, the house budget resolution that we passed
6:05 pm
actually had more money for defense that was brought forward in this bill that was passed a couple of weeks ago. we believe it is appropriate to put resources where they are most effective in our federal government. to be tied to increasing money for non-discretionary spending safely in order to get more money for defense, which is what the president demanded, is a bridge too far from my perspective. i thought that it was not as responsible as it could have been. i liked it to continue to push the budget resolution that house republicans passed in the spring. mr. taylor: those of us who follow the budget see the same thing year after year. you put together a budget that tries to set a blueprint to do all kinds of things -- it would do tax reform, also as of things. it always seems like it always goes up on the shelf, you never follow up with tax reform. as far as i know, you have never drafted or publicly released a
6:06 pm
medicare reform bill. you had kind of a filibuster proof device that allows you to send bills to the present without any democratic support. instead of using that to take on the budget, you used it to take on obamacare, and go after funding for planned parenthood. next year, if you elect a republican president, will you be able to fulfill these promises that you never really tried to implement? rep. price: i think so, and i think we will. two points. one, i share the frustrations that you articulated that we seem to pass a budget full of all sorts of great things, it balances within 10 years,
6:07 pm
doesn't raise taxes, saves over $5 trillion, outlines a way to save and strengthen medicare and medicaid, and then we move on, which is precisely why the budget committee started a project called "restoring the trust of all americans be ago a racist visibility -- of all americans." it raises disabilities and
6:08 pm
strengthens and secures those spending programs, and also creates a critical mass of individuals who will demand of their representatives that they are accountable. we will spend more than what we have spent on defense, education, everything. that is unacceptable to me. second, i cannot tell you how excited i am about the new speaker. yes, it is a good friend of my, but it is an individual that understands putting forth positive policy solutions, which is why i affirmed your question, because i am sure that he will put for those positive policy solutions. mr. newhauser: following on the budget question and the syrian refugee crisis, the fbi would have to implement some new vetting process. they say that would probably cost some money. where would you find that money to up the fbi budget? rep. price: i have all the confidence in the world that there is money in the executive
6:09 pm
branch that would more than fulfill the need to a college that. the question is will this president make securing this nation and protecting the american people a priority or not? currently, there is no confidence that he is securing this nation. that is a very troubling place to be. mr. newhauser: you touched a bit on how excited you are for speaker ryan. you are in his advisory council, if you will, of different groups that meet on just about a weekly basis with him. what do you think that group will accomplish that was not able to be accomplished during speaker boehner's reign? rep. price: i think one of the challenges that we have had is a lack of communication. when you have a lack of communication, and what has been described as a top-down decision-making tree previously,
6:10 pm
there is a lot of trust that needs to be built up. the way you build up trust is communicate with each other. speaker ryan has done an incredible job in his short tenure and trying to pull everyone in in our conference, in the various groups of our conference that have different perspectives on different issues to make certain that everyone understands that their voice is being heard that the issues are being listened to and considered
6:11 pm
to adjust bigger challenges. it really is an exciting, new day. mr. newhauser: just this past week, we saw a bill come to the floor at a last-minute handed down by leadership with no amendments, and all republicans voted for it. what is different now than when this happened in the same way under boehner? rep. price: you are referring to the refugee bill? mr. newhauser: correct. rep. price: this has been worked on for months. the fact of the matter is this is a dynamic process. the rules of engagement for the
6:12 pm
terrorists changed on friday night in paris. they attacked innocent people, the largest attack on the french nation cents world war ii. we cannot, with our oldest ally being attacked by a terrorist attack, sit back and allow for nothing to happen over a period of time. is absolutely imperative that we respond and answer the challenge of the french people. we stand with france. we urge our senate colleagues, when they come back, to get to work, to address this issue, if they believe the house has responded appropriately, pass the house bill. we past with the super majority that would withstand a presidential veto. mr. newhauser: you brought up the senate. knowing what you know about speaker ryan, how would he handle the senate different than boehner did? rep. price: again, i think it is communication. allow them to take up the set piece of legislation and act on it, whether it is on health care, national security, energy policy, tax reform, the senate can take up that legislation or pass something they believe is most appropriate. then, we come to conference, and iron out the differences. the difference you will see is the tone and tenure being look forward by the speaker which is
6:13 pm
positive, optimistic, upbeat, that says, a lot of challenges, yes, but there are positive solutions to address it. mr. taylor: what i'm hearing from you is speaker ryan has built up a lot of goodwill, he has people's trust going forward, however, before you leave washington for the holidays, you have to deal with this massive $1.1 trillion spending bill. you said you have to get your hands dirty with things like appropriations. the history has been there are a lot of compromises, the president always does well in negotiations, democrats do well, and it has been a frustrating process for a lot of rank-and-file republicans. what are your expectations as to how much better or whether
6:14 pm
speaker ryan would get better outcomes? or, will this be cleaning up the old business before you look forward? rep. price: some of it is cleaning up the activity to date. you cannot saddle speaker ryan was where we are right now. what gives me confidence and optimism for the future is what he says is if we are to move forward next year, to get our appropriations bill done, make certain we pass all of them, and get them to the senate so they are able to act on them as well, and get bills to the president's desk. i believe he ryan has said this is not the way he would want this to occur. time is growing short, and it is important we get these were -- this work done. i'm hopeful we will see a
6:15 pm
spending piece of legislation that has more good than bad, and moves us in a positive direction. i'm hopeful we will do that before christmas eve. that is the challenge we have, to get the work done. mr. taylor: there's also hope to do a long-term reauthorization of highway programs. you probably noticed that when the house passed its version, they had one offset and replaced it with a phony offset. you'd a letter yesterday, or the day before, which basically said, it is worth $59 million, but does not really do anything to the deficit. will you let that stand? rep. price: this is troubling. often times, when we have pieces of legislation that come through, and you have to figure
6:16 pm
out how to pay for the legislation that is moving its way through congress, some of them you are comfortable with, actually reducing spending, and prioritizing it in an appropriate way, and some of it gives you pause. this gives me pause. it is not how i would prefer to do it. i think how i would have preferred to do it is the way we redoing it in the means committee. the infrastructure in this nation needs significant attention. a long-term highway bill is absolutely a priority. we need increased capacity on a highway system. the average worker in my district sits in his or her car over 50 hours per year simply going to and from work. that is a long, long time. i'm sorry, 50 weeks -- in 50 weeks, they spend more than one week of time in their car, which is just outrageous. we need a funding stream that is reliable, and hopefully we will get there at some point. mr. taylor: what is the word? will that stand? rep. price: it is an conference right now, and they will work through it. my understanding is they will have it done by the time this errors, and we will know what it looks like then. host: i want to go back to the deadline of the big spending bill. there are still a number of policy issues that could be potential landmines for some of your conference members that might trigger another government shutdown. how confident are you that the communications group that the speaker has set up will be able to negotiate with rank-and-file members that they are passing about, like the planned parenthood bill and the refugee issue? rep. price: i think it is less about negotiation, and pulling people into have them be part of the decision-making that goes on. this is really a pivotal time
6:17 pm
for this house, this government, as we reach these spending decisions, to make certain how we fund the government that we are already six weeks into. listening to people, seeing where their priorities are, knowing that no one is going to get all that they want, and you want to make certain that the highest priority issues are addressed. i think that is what we will be able to do. mr. newhauser: would you vote for an omnibus bill that does not deal with the syrian refugee issue? rep. price: i think you have to look at the full package. those are things that i think need to be addressed, as you know, in our budget. we appealed obamacare. we did so, not just because of the numbers, but because i can tell you, as a physician, it is bad for health care in this country. quality health care is decreasing because of obamacare. you have states that are ending co-ops. they have gone bankrupt or they are struggling. you have major insurance companies realizing that it does not work, what we said would not be able to function, is not functioning -- surprise, surprise. how confident are you that the communications group that the speaker has set up will be able to negotiate with rank-and-file members that they are passing about, like the planned parenthood bill and the refugee issue? rep. price: i think it is less about negotiation, and pulling people into have them be part of the decision-making that goes on. this is really a pivotal time for this house, this government, as we reach these spending decisions, to make certain how we fund the government that we are already six weeks into. listening to people, seeing where their priorities are,
6:18 pm
knowing that no one is going to get all that they want, and you want to make certain that the highest priority issues are addressed. i think that is what we will be able to do. mr. newhauser: would you vote for an omnibus bill that does not deal with the syrian refugee issue? rep. price: i think you have to look at the full package. those are things that i think need to be addressed, as you know, in our budget. we appealed obamacare. we did so, not just because of the numbers, but because i can tell you, as a physician, it is bad for health care in this country. quality health care is decreasing because of obamacare. you have states that are ending
6:19 pm
co-ops. they have gone bankrupt or they are struggling. you have major insurance companies realizing that it does not work, what we said would not be able to function, is not functioning -- surprise, surprise. they are pulling out their participation in obamacare, which means patients have fewer options to purchase. the quality is going down, they are losing choices. this is a very, very troubling program. i will not rest in my political in denver until we make it certain that we move towards patient centered health care, and not washington, d.c. mr. taylor: i thought we would maybe get your thoughts on the presidential race. you have two front runners in
6:20 pm
your party who have not held elected office that are viewed with a lot of suspicion by members of the quote unquote establishment. on the other hand, you have secretary clinton, whose members are not that impressed -- whose poll numbers are not that impressive. are you nervous that you will put up a nominee that will be affordable even if you are up against a vulnerable democrat? rep. price: i have great faith and confidence and the american people. i know their frustration of the semester asian, and the overreach of this administration, the overreach of the democratic policies, are not where they want them to be. i also have great confidence that any individual on the republican platform trying for our nomination will do a much better job than those on the democratic stage. mr. taylor: who do you like? rep. price: we are talking to every sale campaign about issues, particularly health care. i want voters to be up to speed to get the health care system moving and a better direction. we have not made a decision yet.
6:21 pm
mr. newhauser: if donald trump becomes the republican nominee, that is someone you would and/or struggle rep. price: i am wholly supportive of the republican nominee because i said, any one of those individuals would do a better job running this country, getting our country back on track, solving the challenges that we have, and making certain that the world knows america will lead again. where we find ourselves is what the world looks like when america refuses to leave. the world is in a less safe place when america does not lead. i believe the world will understand that there is a significant difference. mr. taylor: when donald trump is in front of a crowd and says he will bomb the blank out of syria, that does not give you pause? i went been present does not know what is going on in certain regions of the world, that does not give you pause? rep. price: there are comments made by everything will candidate, including yours
6:22 pm
truly, that one wishes they could take back. whether this tax policy, energy policy, what republicans understand and appreciate is that you cannot have they, successful citizens realize their dreams when you have a big, overreaching federal government. the two are mutually inconsistent with each other. what i believe is going to happen is the american people will recognize that whoever the nominee is, it is someone who
6:23 pm
will get this country back on track. host: two minutes. final questions? mr. newhauser: what do you make of the trend and the republican party, particularly in the presidential contest? way do see elected governors, with conservative track records, dropping out of the race, not getting traction, and you have a couple of folks who are not elected officials, who do not have that much of a track record because of executive leadership at the top of the pack? what does that say about your party, about the electorate right now? rep. price: i think what it says is the anger and frustration and concerned that the american people have about what is going on here in washington is real and palpable. i have heard it for years. i've tried to communicate it to my colleagues here in washington that this anger and frustration is correctly arrived at. they look to washington, and is a system that has not worked. it has not worked because the system does not work, it has not worked because we have not followed the system.
6:24 pm
you have an administration that is overreaching at every single turn, there is becoming oppressive. you have a judiciary that thinks it ought to be making laws as well. this is probably the weakest legislative branch at the federal level in the history of anybody's life watching this. that is a dangerous place to be. people need to recognize there is a division of power and authority in this country that is real, needs to be enforced, reinforced by everything all branch, and to start that, we must get a legislative branch that cause back some of that authority. mr. newhauser: where do you think the legislative branch can do that? rep. price: the appropriations and budgeting process.
6:25 pm
the power of the purse is one of the fundamental powers of the legislative branch, and it needs to exercise that. this is a republican and democratic problem. when i talk to my republican colleagues about this issue, many of them identify clearly the concerns that i have to respond and very forceful ways with an executive that most of us believe is overreach. host: thank you for coming back to "newsmakers" again. we appreciate it. "newsmakers" is back with andy taylor and daniel newshauser. where are his challenges? mr. newhauser: this on the list bill -- omnibus bill that must be passed will be a challenge. he is bullish on paul ryan. where are the new speaker challenges? to borrow john boehner's phrase they are cleaning the barn. this big omnibus bill will be
6:26 pm
challenging. as you mentioned during the interview there are several stumbling blocks that could arise. this refugee crisis is the latest one members are clamoring thatome sort of measure would choke off funding to some other agency tasked with bringing refugees into the country. howemains to be seen leadership will handle this and once you put something and that he will lose votes on the cider that side. i think there is a lot of room to be tested. >> there is a good bit of inherent criticism of speaker thater's regime suggesting communications would address some of the challenges within the conference. particularly and the freedom caucus, is it just a
6:27 pm
communications problem or is it policy? >> in a lot of ways it is a which is to say to have a majority of 200 republicans. on anything that is remotely controversial, you see a lot of them in the freedom caucus who are not willing to vote for things like big spending bills or a tax increase that occurred right after the 2012 election. speakert means is the would have to go to nancy pelosi and a deal with her to get votes. speaker is trying to keep his troops more united, but it remains to be seen whether when it comes to joining this big spending bill which will be more than one foot tall and will have money for the irs and
6:28 pm
funding planned parenthood, and all of these things that people have fallen on their swords on in recent weeks and has been difficult for a lot of speaker ryan's members to vote for. there,differences are but it all comes down to the votes. if the new speaker can command a dependable majority, he will have more powers. he will be not in the same boat but the same dynamic. >> in the interview he talked about how the budget gets passed on the shelf and it is frustrating for many people. and then when you get to the omnibus spending all the work for the committees crafting their own bills get negated by and on the this which rolls them all into one. are any of the listening
6:29 pm
sessions able to address those concerns in this cycle. >> i think so far these listening sessions have been working in the near term. i have been talking to members who would have normally been a john boehner's throat who have said they don't want to put paul box.and a i think he has a certain level of leeway now and i think people like him and trust him and want to give him a little bit of box. room to show that he can produce different results than john boehner did. onyou just look at last week the vote on the freestanding bill on syrian refugees, most members would probably not have said that is where they want to go. but they say, we will pass it as an incremental step. you might've seen that dynamic at the end of john boehner's tenure but maybe not even the beginning.
6:30 pm
in the near term, price was correct that the communications and have some kind of positive effect. >> i try to get him to talk a little bit about what happens if there is a republican president. the fact of the matter is they passed this budget resolution with these handful cuts but there is no pain because under the arcane way things are done it is nonbinding and it purports to do things that it doesn't. but in recent weeks when have tried to do even miniscule cuts on things like crop insurance, the members are freaked out. that if we docion have a republican president and thaty republican congress, following through on their promises will be a challenge. but he is an optimistic man and confident.
6:31 pm
>> thank you to both of us -- both of you for returning to newsmakers with us this week. >> our original series landmark cases continues tomorrow night for -- featuring the case of brown versus the board of education. we will look at the so-called doll test that lawyers used to show the impact of segregation on african-american children. integral to the brown versus the board of education because it clearly demonstrated that separate was not equal, and separate was not good. in fact separate was an injustice. but we are looking at the dolls that the doctor used for their tall studies. the doll tests were a series of
6:32 pm
studies that mimi clark and kenneth clark did to try to determine racial a wellness with the implication being that in a segregated society, if children are aware of race and the and theces in race, differences for how different racial groups are treated, that it would impact how they felt about themselves. what they did that actually became very well-known in part of the brown case was they black andng children white dolls and they would ask the children, show me the doll that is nice, give me the doll that is the best. give me the doll that looks like you. and more often than not, the black children showed that the nice doll was the white doll.
6:33 pm
the doll that was the best was the white doll. when he got to the question of give me the one that looks like you, that is when the children would pause and be more confused or looked troubled and dr. clark would say, because they had said in many cases, this is the bad doll, this is the nice stall and so remembering they had said this is the bad doll, they now had to show the doll that looks like them. it was particularly difficult for them. chose the children white doll because they could .ot embrace it
6:34 pm
after having said that it was bad, not nice. they could not embrace it. >> learn more about the supreme court case brown versus the board of education on tomorrow's landmark cases like that 9:00 ..m. et on c-span c-span presents landmark cases, a guide to our series which explores 12 historic supreme court decisions including marbury versus madison . brown versus the board of versuson, maranda arizona and row versus wade.

6:38 pm
nation. the outcome was 130 dead. more than 600 injured. 193 still in the hospital many between life and death. they struck on that day not just france and french people but target for beyond. here i just recall that before lebanon,ey attacked iraq, turkey, tunisia, russia and many other countries. out of our freedom and shared humanity. the ideal which is one of the united nations. the president on monday spoke before the french parliament to
6:39 pm
note the absolute determination of france to combat by all means necessary, daesh. try, -- in flinching this unflinching drive, france remains resolved. nations is the pinnacle of right and collective security. thus the president of the republic address the council to mobilize and organize us. the security council mobilized unanimously among all the members commence writ with its resolutionities the we just adopted recognizing the exceptional nature of the threat and calls upon all member states to take all necessary measures to eradicate the sanctuary it
6:40 pm
created in syria and iraq and to push back the ideology which is radical under international law and the upholding of the united nations charter which is our shared boone. it also provides the guarantee that there will be an effective fight against terrorism. were anmber 13 attacks armed aggression against france. justified byaction the legitimate collector defense can now also be based under article 51 of the united nations charter. based on this historic revolution of the security council, french -- france shall continue so as to galvanize the international community as a whole to vanquish our shared
6:41 pm
enemy. france shall play a dual role. the president of the republic announced the intensification of air raids against daesh and syria. this scale up is underway. france in the day to come will triple the strikeforce with the arrival of the aircraft. it can only be effective if it is supported by a political transition in which would put an end to the crisis, which continues to be a hotbed for terrorism. the resolution creates conditions. in this context we call upon europe. my country has asked for, and obtained for the first time, the activation of the mutual solidarity clause as france is paying a heavy price for its
6:42 pm
combat against syria and iraq but also combating terrorism elsewhere. we hope that other countries will mobilize alongside us. upon all members of the security council and beyond. it is along these lines with a precedent of the republic next week will visit in washington and moscow. we have engaged in contact with a plethora of partners and our determined to obtain mobilization as broad as possible. we have unity share. we the people of the united nations have the duty to defend this unity. >> i think the representative of france for his statements in a give the floor to the representative of china.
6:43 pm
>> isil and other terrorist organizations launched a series of other terror attacks across the world, killing innocent civilians including a chinese citizen. the chinese government strongly condemns their heinous atrocity in the perpetrators must be brought to justice. enemyrorism is an common of humanity. are grave acts criminal acts that threaten international peace and security. the international community must join hands in acting on the purposes of the charter and other basic norms of international relations to play to the leading role of the u.n.. to further strengthen anddination and cooperation
6:44 pm
to form a united front against terrorism. counterterrorism efforts must address both symptoms and the root causes of the samples. implementation must include combating terrorist use of the internet to instigate and plan terrorist activities and spread ideas. firmlynese government opposes all forms of terrorism and further condemns all violent crimes the challenge human civilization. turkish forces is an important component cart of the international counterterrorism fight. thank you, mr. president.
6:45 pm
>> i think the representative of china and give the floor to the representative from spain. >> mr. president, here we are , we are also russian and arabic. it is time to react and to do so with a french heart. with a russian and arab heart. kara and in beirut and beirut have a declared determination to terrify us. they will not succeed. have reacted quickly and united with determination and force.
6:46 pm
in toly way to not give the victory of terrorism is to continue with our way of life and preserve our principles and values without any concessions on human rights. i would like to underscore article five which ensures legal inalienable the respect of human rights for international law, refugees and humanitarian law. said, thean emperor best revenge is to not be like them. we, who sit around this table, we too have the duty to guarantee these values and principles. we cannot tolerate the daily news becoming part of the war. nobody can doubt that all of us must close ranks in order to combat terrorism and vanquish it. i therefore think france for its
6:47 pm
leadership in this present resolution for sounding the alarm to bring us out the trenches and to intensify our offensive. heard the, we have french national anthem often. it is not the first time it symbols resistance to the bloody flag of tyranny. it is time once again for us as citizens to form our battalions and go against those who wish to slit our throats. i think the representative of spain for his statements and give the floor to the representative of the united states. >> mr. president in recent weeks, attacks have startled the world's conscience from europe to africa to the middle east innocent men and women have been slaughtered and families destroyed in beirut.
6:48 pm
concertgoers slain in paris. air passengers bond in the sky and tourists killed on the beach in tunisia. the united states stands with these victims of terrorism who all faced the nationalities. lost inwe mourn those these attacks, we remember the wholesale violence continuing in a rack and syria where the men, women and children struggle every day to survive and flee the bloodshed. outrages, rests a violent ideology of hate. these groups know what they are doing. they perpetrate atrocities to advance a hateful worldview. musthe member states, intensify and accelerate our efforts to degrade and defeat these groups once and for all.
6:49 pm
we need a global initiative to more attacks in our homeland and stabilize the middle east. for this reason we welcome it applied the resolute call to take all necessary measures in compliance with international law, to counsel isil and we must also choke off funding, arms, recruitment and other kinds of support to isil. as the revolution -- resolution recognizes, they've made it clear in iraq that they face a serious threat of continued attacks. the assad regime has shown it cannot and will not suppress the threat.
6:50 pm
even as it undertakes actions that benefit the extremist recruiting. in this regard, the united states has been leading international efforts to provide assistance. we are taking in accordance with the u.n. charter the necessary and proportionate military actions to deny isil safe haven. states, along with 64 and internationaltance organizations has formed a coalition who central aim is to degrade isil capabilities and to achieve lasting defeat. denyoalition is working to even, to disrupt its ability to project power and to build partner capacity. it is actively working to disrupt isil financing, economic sustainment, and the flow of foreign and terrorist fighters
6:51 pm
and to counter the message of hatred and violence. the areaslize liberated from isil control, the coalition further supports the efforts of the program and iraqi government. today's resolution recalls the already well-established framework to respond to terror threats generally and to isil and others associated with al qaeda. 1373, 2170, 2178 and 2199 layout specific obligations and actions that states must take to respond to these threats. in the security council we look forward to continuing cooperation and counterterrorism entities to enhance a will of capacity to implement these
6:52 pm
