in looking around the world, i have many specific concerns -- south asia, south asia, the middle east, africa. let me conclude my opening statement by pointing out two issues of particular concern to me. the first is isis in iraq and syria. despite our destruction of the caliphate, which was critically important and needed to be done and the people who did that should be given an awful lot of credit for it. you all know that isis is on the rebound in the middle east in iraq and syria. it is reconstituting. isis attacks in iraq are on the rise for two years in a row now, including a significant one just a few weeks ago some in samara, just an hours drive from baghdad. even more worrisome, mr. chairman, and you mentioned this, german authorities recently arrested four turk men sent by isis to conduct an attack on a u.s. military facility in germany. the four had already acquired weapons and they were in the process of acquiring explosive when they were arrested. this suggests to me that isis may be the process of rebuilding its attack ability in europe which was a capability we saw in d

radio free europe, radio liberty, radio free asia, the cuban broadcasting service, the middle east broadcasting, fired, fired, fired, fired. no reason given for any of those network heads being fired, they were all just wiped out. so what's going on here? a couple of months ago, the president started denouncing the voice of america as, in his words, disgusting. and that seemed kind of out of the blue. but, you know, welcome to the trump era. but then the white house also published like a blog post, a newsletter item, it's hard to tell exactly what this is, but they published this thing denouncing the voice of america, specifically because voa had the temerity to run an ap article, they ran an associated press article on their website about china lifting its lockdown in wuhan for the coronavirus. all sorts of news organizations run associated press news stories. and in fact the wuhan region did lift its lockdown and that story was true. so why has the white house and the president been bending over backwards to like gin up some kind of bottled outrage about this? well, you may remember this guy.
