picky says newspapers not only guard freedom but they maintain civilization. even the press doesn't speak so highly of itself. newspapers bring together local community health rule themselves politically. it simply can't happen without newspapers. as we already know, very much is at stake in having a good press. the press as was understood by the founders is motivated to act viciously, attack falls political dogma and uncovering corruption for the sake of preserving republican government. this is good. but just like the pressures compel government to be responsible, so did some loss compel the press responsible itself. so that's the good. here's the bad. neither franklin nor de tocqueville were naÏve about the possible that affect of the press and, in fact, predicted many of them. as de tocqueville says he loved the freedom of the press dash man putting him -- out of consideration for the eagles it prevents, much more than for the good it does. franklin agrees, and no american fed had more experience in the press than him. he became a multimillionaire through

civil service as well as the military. having served in the air force, the army reserves and the army national guard. i'm proud to be a veteran. for most part, people thank me for my service. it never occurred to me that someone would be so cold hearted to make a call and claim to care for veterans when in reality all they're doing is lining their own pockets. five years ago, i learned how reckless they can be. when i received a phone call from senator casey's office inviting me to testify before you today, i was pleased to accept the invitation and share with you what happened. it isn't easy for me to talk about this scam. what i'm doing today is an extension of my service. i feel a sense of responsibility to warn others who served and to be vigilant against scams. let me explain. in september of 2014, i received a call from an organization disabled and paralyzed veterans fund or dpvf requesting a donation. i was told in the conversation that the organization was dedicated to helping disabled and paralyzed veterans. it raised funds to support va hospital and veteran homelessness. i've donated to sim

state but to embroil it in serious civil war and imperil its security by threatening israeli israel with precision rockets. in iraq, iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps have spent years sponsoring shia militias and proxies that are more loyal to tehran than to baghdad or to the people of iraq. so in both these countries, tehran has used and promoted the use of force to acquire power and to acquire influence. a few weeks ago, the leader of the quds force flew to iraq for secret meetings to guide iraqi leaders through the protests there. here's what this iranian thug told the iraqis. we in iran know how to deal with protests. enough said. well, madam president, a valiant crackdown on peaceful protest certificates not going to solve anything. what iraqi and lebanese leaders must do is stop listening to the poisonous advice of iranian tyrants who are losing their own grip on their own people and start addressing their own citizens' demands for transparency and reform. iraq and lebanon should give their people what they want -- less corruption, less maligned foreign influence, more opportunity, and the rule of law. that is the path forward for iraq
