well, mrs. graham, how do you want that steeple? she said, how high can that crane go? that was kerry. and it went going higher and higher and higher. and as soon as it couldn't get any higher, she said, that'll be fine. i don't know if he had a goal. he knew what he wanted to do and that was he wanted to do anything he could to to serve god in whatever way god wanted him to serve. and so he just began slowly and then with news for christ all of a sudden they realized that there were meetings. he also realized that he when he gave an invitation, i think the first time he gave an invitation, only ten or 11 people came forward. but he realized that there was a gift there, that god had somehow given him a gift that he could at the end of a message, give an invitation for people to come forward and accept jesus christ as their savior. and they would come when he went to california to have a meeting, they call them crusades back then. and so they went to california, they were called to los angeles, and a tent was set up and they began to have just a saw this tent. like, you

graham. opening statements? mr. sec., if you would print -- please proceed. >> thank you very much. graham, murray and members here today. thank you for this opportunity to speak with you about our proposed fy 24 budget. this military budget. i think -- fy 24 military budget. we are at an inflection point. the post cold war era is over and there is an intense competition of the way to shape and determine what comes next. we, the unsaved, have a positive vision for the future. a world that is free, secure, open, prosperous. it is our belief, particularly by preparing us to effectively meet challenges. the first is the challenge posed by our competitors. the threat imposed by russia's autocracy. and the long-term challenge from the people's republic of china. the second set of challenges is posed by shared global tasks including the crisis, migration, all of which directly impacts the lives and livelihoods of americans and people around the world. with this committee's leadership, the united states is in a stronger position that we were two years ago, hence our ability to deal with the

graham. >> thank you, mr. chairman. number one, i think this is an important hearing to have. the role of the second amendment and average everyday life, senator cornyn worked in a bipartisan fashion to make some changes to background checks, putting money into the system to deal with folks or danger to themselves or others. to enhance public safety there is a bipartisan approach to some of these issues. but this is the difference between the parties i would think. america's second amendment was passed for a purpose for you live in a kingdom and the king rules the first thing they want to do is neck shirt nobody can object in your pretty much defenseless. you have to ask yourself why did we have a second amendment to begin with question 10 history of the country people claim in england you cannot say bad things about the king. you really cannot express yourself so the first amendment allows you to speak openly to worship the weight you would choose not the way the king was used and on and on and on the right to assemble. the second amendment is to be able to bear arms. there's

mr. secretary. let me start by questioning where senator graham left off. we have a bipartisan concern about functional in the united states. as senator graham mention, 70000 fatal overdoses in the u.s. every year. we need to launch -- like the president says we need to launch a major surge to stop functional production and sale. i like to start the obvious place, or is it coming from? well, me start with precursor chemicals in china but it certainly comes to the two major drug cartels in mexico which are the major exporters into the united states. here is what the former mexican ambassador to the united states said. he said only a handful of law enforcement agencies in mexico are willing or able to engage with the powerful drug gangs quote there is no doubt that endemic corruption, impunity, weak rule of law is mexico's achilles' heel here and on to say fentanyl and methamphetamine labs operate in mexico with almost no pressure. two lengthy conversations with the drug enforcement agency administration about this challenge of fentanyl. i will say i want to

mr. trump has been reaching out h republican allies in congress like lindsey graham. >> this is turning the rule of law upside down to destroy a man, donald j. trump, who the left fears do not let them get away with this. >> reporter: the former president's supporters are now looking to capitalize on the yet to be announced charges, hawking t-shirts online to raise campaign money for any other candidate, an indictment would almost certainly be the end of the line, but mr. trump's allies insist this move by a democratic prosecutor is rallying republicans and will cement his front-runner status. lester. >> all right, peter alexander, thank you >>> for more on what's next, let me bring in senior legal correspondent laura jarrett and jonathan dients, nbc news chief justice contributor. jonathan, let me begin with you what do we know about the former president's return to new york? >> yeah, several officials telling us tonight that former president trump is expected to arrive here in new york monday night. tuesday around 1:00 p.m. he will go to the courthouse the former president will likely not

mr. secretary mike pompeo joined us last hour. i asked him if he agrees with senator lindsey graham who said he supports u.s. troops in taiwan. his response. >> the united states is going to have to be all in to protect american interests throughout the pacific. that includes taiwan, japan, our friends and allies in australia, south korea, this is not the american tradition, let's get deterrence right and don't have to face that question. >> sandra: to be clear, that's a yes. >> we should do everything we can. >> sandra: all in, he said. troops in taiwan. >> yeah, i was with secretary pompeo whenever we had meetings that started in the bush administration called the quad, a lot of diplomatic speak, but essentially we were focusing at the state department when i worked for him. every single day we were focused on china or iran. certainly had the whole world under our belt. there was not a day that went by we were not thinking and plotting and strategizing about how to isolate the chinese communist party and their influence from the region. this is a threat to the united states. listen, just look at what xi jinping says. we hav

mr. secretary, that's a topic of interest to both of us. let me now turn to my colleague, ranking member senator graham. >> -- i talked to larry olson from oracle. he has created a new school, i think, at oxford or cambridge -- i can't remember -- about food security. so, there are a lot of people interested in making sure that people can feed themselves. so, it's soil, seed, and water. they have to have water. anyway, i look forward to working with you on that. are you familiar with the icc arrest warrant being that was issued against putin? >> yes. >> you think that is sound? >> i think we have all seen, senator, the atrocities and war crimes committed in ukraine. and we believe strongly, as we -- >> i think the president said he thought that was a sound approach. >> there needs to be accountability. and the icc -- >> what they want to arrest him for? >> the focus of the -- as i understand it, the focus is on an affective abduction of children from ukraine, taking them to russia, giving them to -- >> so, let's just talk for second. there's an arrest warrant for putin by the icc for kidnapping children in ukraine and taking them to russia. is
