[ applause ] you're amazed that obama signed it, right? he didn't have any choice. it's a conservative win. it's the largest evolution of control to the states in the single censure kri. we have passed the transportation reform in nearly two decades. it revea

>> yeah, i think senator langford's line of questioning is right on. i would like to pick up right where he left off. you say in your testimony you can defeat the group in raqqah, mosul, fallujah, but these defeats will remain tactical. could you go deeper than that? what specifically are ewe ayou advising us today? we're giving them more strength in some ways in the way we're doing it. can you be more specific? >> isis was defeated in iraq in 2006 after the surge, but isis came back and took mosul. it was defeated from 2006 and 2010. it was a very marginal organization in iraq. sunni arabs in the areas that isis operated in defeated the organization, worked with the americans, and policed the areas. that worked, but then the policy that followed in 2010 when iraq -- when the united states pulled out of iraq before iraq was able to govern itself because there was support, perceived support, between -- cooperation between the u.s. and iran to work with a sectarian prime minister and work with him despite the fact he was weakened and there's another shii

so thank you so much, senator langford, for those remarks.ld us is a different animal. it's an additional animal, a different skill set. we want quick results, we want fast, urgent, immediate results, but you know what? sometimes the long-term results take the long game. they require a longer perspective than just one congressional cycle, one election cycle sometimes, even. the -- our next -- next presentation is going to come from a gentleman who understands that intrinsically. the united states senate is a complicated body. the personalities involved are sometimes elaborate personalities. the rules themselves are nuanced and intricate rules and the policy itself is what we talk about all day every day. but it's my pleasure to welcome the senate majority leader who not only understands the values and the principles that make us who we are but also understands the process in order to make this stuff actually happen. would you please join me in welcoming the leader of the senate majority, mitch mcconnell.

. >> i think senator langford's line of questioning is right on. you say in your testimony you or defeat the group in raqqa falluja, but could you go a little deeper? what are you advising for us to do as we get these -- we are shrinking territory, clearly, but it seems like you are saying we are giving them more strength in the way we are doing it. isis,hink we defeated isis was defeated in iraq in 2006 but came back and took to 2010.m 2006 it was a marginal organization in iraq. that worked. the policies that followed in -- when theaq united states pulled out of iraq before it was able to govern itself and there was perceived support between the u.s. and aliki despitewith m the fact he was weakend and there is another rival that is , the mistakes that success, the ,uccess between 2006 and 2010 led to circumstances that sunnis inis to tell these areas to say the only way forward is to work together. they were able to mobilize people against the government. that is why they were able to take mosul in the summer of 2014. iraqi army toe flee. they to

i want to get some more on all of this, republican senator james langford is joining us. thanks very much for joining us. i want to get your reaction as to what the presidesenator mcca. do you agree? >> he should have directly clarified that and said the president is not directly responsible for that. the problem is it's very similar to what brennan said in the cia hearing today. when i asked him personally about the caliphate in syria and iraq, how do we actually deal with this? will we slow down these lone wolf attacks. and as long as the caliphate is there and they continue to motivate people, they are going to continue to motivate the lone wolf attacks around the world. obviously the president is not personally responsible as long as the caliphate is able to stay there and we are not taking them on as an entity, they are going to continue to prom mull gate people whether it's at a christmas party in california last year or a nightclub in orlando, they are going to continue to press and find lone wolf attacks. >> will you vote, senator, in favor of the gun legislation

, senator david perdue of georgia who is speaking and some members of congress as well and james langford republican, washington republicans, as opposed to, not necessarily talking about trump but several of them, jeff sessions, one of the most prominent in washington talking about the need to elect donald trump in november specifically framing that in the context of the supreme court. senator perdue did so as well talking about the fact if donald trump isn't elected, hillary clinton can take perhaps at least one, maybe two, even three next supreme court justices which could dramatically change the face of the supreme court. that's certainly been a theme here where donald trump is addressing social conservatives, evangelicals in particular that are here. they were a big part of his base to win the republican primaries and so donald trump is looking to rev these supporters up as well as he heads into the general election. >> i just wanted to ask you about what we're seeing right here behind you. seeing carly fiorina, she was great in the debates. it is hard not to forget that she and donal

senator langford. >> thank you, mr. chairman. as senator paul mentioned there's a context to this as i read through the motnotes, one my first thoughts on the section on not getting an answer the first time you make a call in customer service, i wondered how many times that our constituent service folks in our staff have tried to call va or social security or multiple other agencies and we'll work for months to get an answer to to a question that should be a straightforward issue. there's a great deal within government that lacks in customer service as well. i think that deserves a public acknowledgment. that all of us have a very long way to go in dealing with cable customer service is the pot calling the kettle black as we work through this process. saying all that, i have also had people call my office that have been incredibly frustrated by not getting attention with their cable provider. and they reached a point where they called their cable provider so many times and got non-answers that they eventually called their senator

langford? senator langford: thanks for hosting this hearing and the conversation that's here but as mentioned,l has there's a context to this. as i read through the notes and as we received this early this night, one late last of my first thoughts on the section on not getting an answer make ast time that you call, in customer service, i ourered how many times that constituents service folks and our staff have tried to call security oral multiple other agencies and we get anrk for months to answer to a question that should be a straightforward issue. a great deal within government right now that lacks in customer service, as well. think that deserves a very public acknowledgment that all have a very long way to go in dealing with cable customer is the pot calling the kettle black as we work through this process. that, i have also had people call my office that have been incredibly frustrated by not getting attention with their cable provider. and they reached a point where called their cable pr

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage from the great state of oklahoma, senator james langford. good morning.rd: let me tell you a little bit about my story and i will let you adjust to my voice. because when i first talked to people they usually say, that is not what i expected to come out. welcome to my life. i have served in the senate for the last two years. david purdue and i came in at the same time. by the way, he is a solid senator. i come from a different background. i served 32 years in youth ministry before i came to congress. that might seem odd, but my experience working with the juveniles was great preparation to come to congress! life's calls this greatest interruption. we never planned to go to congress. this was a calling for us. father god came into our life and said, this is what i am asking you to do. we spent about seven months praying about it -- finally decided, i don't want to be a grandfather and tell my grandchildren about the time i did not listen to god's calling. right thingo the the right way and and gauge the nation in a critical way. people said

senator langford. >> in 1947 if i remember the day curt read-ins is when zika was discovered and identifiedas what it is. what has changed now from the 1940s when we first discovered it is the frequency, is that the numbers of the movement? what is that change right now and why is there so much attention focused? >> there a couple of to say. one is that the virus, the virus arrival in brazil was in an area of very dense human population and very dense mosquito population. that probably allowed explosive transmission of the virus that was mosquito-borne for decades. it's also possible that in sparsely populated areas in africa or some of the asian islands, there was zika related earth effects that were not recognize because the numbers were fairly small. people have gone back now to french polynesia and recognize that there were consequences of that outbreak that word immediately recognized. the explosive spread in northeastern brazil and what we have seen in colombia and what is happening today in puerto rico probably relates to the virus getting into much more urban densely populated areas

i want to pick up on both senator langford and senator booker's line of question. in terms of what reality situation in terms of where is isis right now on terms of success or lack thereof against it. there's a state department with very difficult numbers that are changing all time. but when i looked at and i did a calculation, the number globally of people killed in terrorist 9/11 isby 29/11 -- two a little under 5000. that has grown 5-6-seven times. this is from my standpoint is a growing stress. isis outside of syria, isis inspired attacks have cost 1191 lives in just the last year. the analogy of been using in terms of, i realize we have made progress, we are taken back territory. there are still controlled territory. the analysis am somewhat using is that of a beehive. in yourt have one backyard that you can poke with a stick and do damage to the hive, but you're also starring at the hive. as i will be her witnessing? what is the danger there? is it true that we do to defeat caliphate,them that but then we have a lot of mopping up to do. groups,lamic terror an

i want to pick up on senator langford's and senator booker's line of questioning. right now in terms of success or lack of success against it? there is a state department report, very difficult numbers. they're changing all the time. when i looked at and did a calculation of the number of people killed in terrorist attacks prior to 9/11, it is a little under 5000. 6, sevengrown 5, times. this is a growing threat. isis news reports show that isis-inspired attacks cost 191 ,000 lives the last two years. i realize we have made some progress. we have taken back territory. they still control territory. the analysis i'm using is that of a beehive in your backyard. stick, poke it with a but you are stirring up a hive. is that what we are witnessing? we have to defeat isis. we have to deny them the caliphate. but we have a lot of mopping up to do. these terrorist groups are spreading, evolving, metastasizing. it is like a cancer. we are not winning this battle. >> i come from the position that isis and al qaeda are growing and there will be other groups that join them. the

i'm going to harken back a little bit to what senator langford was talking about earlier, we have toeed this call. you know, i actually was in ministry before i joined faith and freedom a couple years ago. and it's not an uncommon separate train of thought as to sunday morning or saturday night mass. we got to understand that faith must lead to action. and so we urgently and desperately need your help in your own town or community, wherever you're coming back to after this weekend. so our hope, just throughout the weekend this year as you're finding noticing different people, either with faith and freedom shirts or badges or whatever the case may be, just staff members, we would love to talk with you more about how you can specifically personally be engaged wherever you're from. just last night at dinner ya had a great conversation with folks that are from arkansas and others from south carolina and also from north carolina. they're saying, i mean, this is, obviously, a generational shift that we desperately need. it's an all hands on deck endeavor. so, you know, my desperate despera

senator langford asked an appropriate question. what would you say to a new president? i've heard you touch on this but i would like to get it formerly for the record. if the next president of the united states directs c.i.a. to resume the use of cohersive interrogation techniques how would you respond? >> i have said publicly that i don't believe some aggressive co here'sive tactics are necessary. as you know the interrogation program was disband. i certainly have no intention of bringing such a program back and and would not engage in waterboarding and other things ever. >> senator kaine? senator kane: any chance they're going to get a hold of any of libya's oil capabilities? because that's where a lot of their revenues have come from in syria and sirke. how do you assess the oil in syria an libya? >> i don't think anything libya is secure. there haven't be atenches made upon some of those oil facilities but today isil has not been able to gain control on them. we'll see if there are pocks of areas where he's been able to encroach. but there are some challenges there

senator langford. >> not as much as charlotte is a help for that. thank y'all for being here and your testimony today. i think everyone has reiterated the same thing. safety is a primary consideration. we never want there to be a consideration to say let's speed everything up. that was part of our conversations even a year ago when you were going through the confirmation process and the concern with the precheck line precheck had become plus another randomized. it was all about speed. from the ig's report to come back and say we're overly optimistic on staffing so we have a drop in staff and we have an increase in passengers and it's not rocket science to figure out why we have long lines to go through that. i want to make sure everyone is loud and clear, we're focused on safety. it's not just about speed. there are plenty of people that as we through airports see tsa workers standing around or not in a hurry when people are waiting in long lines. people under the safety and want to see efficiency in the process with that. with that, let me highligh

. >> senator langford thanks for being here again. you helped lead or did lead when president obama was president elect in 2008, the intelligence came and is part of your responsibility to brief the future president at that time on some of the issues that were blinking red, i think was the term that was used on the intelligence committee. if you were helping organize for that next transition, what are the key things you can articulate right now that are blinking red for the new president question. >> cyber certainly, the individual whoever is elected needs to use their four or eight years to tackle this issue because it's going to take time to come up with the type of understanding that are necessary. terrorism is going to continue to plague us. that is related to the cyber issue and how we make sure that the fbi and nsa are able to do their jobs and protect this country. proliferation is something we cannot forget about. it is brought relief by the activities in north korea and the continued development of nuclear program and ballist
