first you do something ghazi to introduce your candidate, all the accomplishments you've had.en you go for the attack ad, traditionally. the fact that that playbook is being upended underscores how nervous republicans are about these upcoming midterms and you see that in how they're talking about the senate. for a long time they felt that it was fairly locked down. they still feel okay about it, but there's shakiness and more concern that the senate could flip or get close to democratic control. >> the super negative stuff is coming early enough so that there's time to test that message and see if it works. if not there's time to return to tempting to drive the economic message and see if it works. look where we are right now, still talking about a shutdown and whether that's really what the president wants to do. like going into his own majority's midterm election. things are really complicated and weird and that set the table for this advertising. >> the president's brand is bad in most of the country. house republican brand is not so great in much of the country. you mentio

secretary pompeo as a member of this body during the absurd bending ghazi select committee expressed outrage over the handling of diplomatic security. now they have tried to cut funding for embassy funding. my message to them is simple. there is no cost too high to protect the lives of our diplomats and their families. i wish the president and the secretary understood that. fortunately congress has the last word. we have come together in a bipartisan way for the past two years and rejected trump's cuts to embassy security funding. this bill represents another rejection of the trump administration's dangerous proposal. additionally, i would like to highlight two provisions in the bill. the first requires that all u.s. government employees traveling abroad on official business receive a written or oral security briefing from the state department on potential threats. this is the commonsense measure and it's honestly bizarre that it isn't already required. second, i also want to thranching mr. mccaul and miskilly for including language that requires the state department to provide our c
