the margin detroit had been peaceful and successful kemal public relations success. it actually led a lot of people who are hesitant to say we can support that. as you mentioned, martin luther king previewed as i have a dream speech. they recently discovered a recording of him giving the same speech almost a year earlier north carolina high school. thisthis was a speech that he had actually pioneered several years before, the outline of it when he spoke initially. the 1st time this refrain was used when he spoke before the afl-cio, the labor movement almost two years before the march on washington. and it was a speech he had perfected. one of the stories is by the time i came around august of 1963 march on washington his advisers told him not to give the speech. 's and i actually wrote a different speech. if you watch him, their recordings. he begins not with that. he begins with the image of a check that is written by the government. the promise of freedom and the founding documents in the constitution and the declaration of independence is and says this is come bac

i don't want to be called the politician kemal talk no action. donald trump gave $1 million.lause] the family of new york gave 75,000. a great fan and friend, 100,000. a very good friend of mine in person. he was out there. give me a million bucks. why? and he wanted to be anonymous. he has changed. you know i am talking about. .. here is a beautiful place but we have thousands of people outside that weren't as good as real estate, i will tell you. but we have thousands of people trying to get in. we set up cameras, we set up screens, we have everything. but i will tell you, you look at that, i love the protestors in the big arenas because the cameras never move, they're always on my face. i say to my wife, malania, honey, stand up. she has to suffer through this. they with never let me like the other politicians, look at them. it's like crazy. but i say, how did i do, were they great, were there many people, like in the mavericks' arena, mobile, alabama, 35,000 people. we get the biggest crowd by far, much bigger than bernie, i have to say he is second. no other republican,

notably the oil workers union, imposing common core standards via administrative feedback and much more kemal laundry list letlet me just talk about three of them in more detail. the 1st one is one that probably most of you have never heard of, i just mentioned it, but it is important because it is telling about the obama administration's attitude right from the beginning. april 2015 less than three months after inauguration day the administration decides to grant voting rights in the house of representatives. the constitution limits voting rights in congress to representatives of the states. especially designated federal district, not a state. fair or just, not my concern. don't like it, change the law. so you can support this law. we have years of precedent, the administration all agree they are mostly civil servants and political appointees. mostly their own political appointments with means they bend over backward. therefore one of the very few checks on presidential authority, they tell me i can do something i shouldn't do. the attorney general went to the office and how they did not ask

the course of two weeks the taliban occupied conduce and you know, as the general has acknowledged kemalnd the country has maintained control, government forces of maintained control since that time. the government of afghanistan is in the process of looking at lessons learned from that experience and there has been a report with the government of afghanistan command they are considering the responses that they are going to make. my understanding is it includes greater lash out between provincial authorities and central authority. which is perhaps one of the contributing factors to the weakness in conduce. i would of course have to defer to my colleagues from the defense department on any specific response in terms of military development and train and assist program. >> questions raised during opening comments, troubling article i read that indicate that usaid programs are very much dependent on taliban support, therefore getting more support as a result of usaid strengthening their hold contrary to the objective. are we focused -- the short-term gains to try to help with regard to the
