mr. keene. was jeb was invited do you know? >> guest: i don't know because i'm not charge of the invitations but jeb was here last year and spoke to cpac that then and you know as governor of florida he was a pretty good conservative. he was a market problem nationally because you can only think of the fact that if we had coming into the next presidential election at turned out to be bush versus clinton again we would have voters all across the country slashing their wrists. >> host: sea dog tweets in to you what ideas to cpac have for making joe sixpack's life better? >> guest: well i think that that is what it's all about and conservatives believe and history has shown this to be true that if you provide an atmosphere in which entreprenentrepren eurship can flores, you create jobs and you make life better for everyone. if you cut taxes in a way that both stimulates the economy and puts more money into joe sixpack or anyone else's pocket you help both the economy and the life that they live. t

let's see what mr. keene would like to respond to. look at theu president's performance and the performance of this administration. because of the focus that the american people usually have in bad economic times when we are trying to come out of a recession on domestic policy. the obama administration has completely failed internationally. not partly but completely. john bolton, the former u.s. ambassador, made the point at the bank yesterday -- john nolton, the former u ambassador made the point yesterday here that we cannot forget what is going on in the world. the u.s. trying to lead from behind has stepped back. he thinks that that leads to peace, it does not. the presidents who have used american troops less than any other president was ronald reagan. he believed if the country it was strong the signal would be slear that this is an tyrant had to be careful and they were. you have this in ukraine and in asia with china going after islands, declaring sovereignty over parts of the ocean that they have no right to. you have people

mr. keene, what is -- first of all, what is unity? >> good morning, peter. unity, community health center here in washington, unity healthcare in washington d.c. is a network of community health centers that provides health care, social services, a whole array of supportive services to people who historically denied access health care on the mainstream. basically our commitment is to the underserved, to those who are marginalized, including the medicaid population, including the dagen population, i including those you may just simply not be able to the culturally identify with mainstream health care. unity is a federally qualified health center, and it enables people to get health care in their sights, and they're local communities and also it addresses whether specific needs are. research about 100,000 patients per year. we have 1,000 employees, and we provide health care to the homeless population, to residents of the gao communities within all words of the city as well as school based health centers. so we are a large network, but we are over 1,000 simila

. >> host: if you lived in kentucky mr. keene, would you support which mcconnell? >> guest: i would. >> host: what do you think of the fact that he is having a rough time right now in his reelection? >> guest: while i happen to be one that the leaves that primaries and fights for the nomination within the party are ultimately helpful to the party. i know it's a candidate being challenged but i would be willing to bet that mcconnell overcomes the challenge and goes on to win the general election. you know it's easy if being a party leader is a tough position as a legislative leader because you don't have the freedom to simply issue press releases and take the position that this is the way the world ought to be. you have to work with the coalition of people in your own party to trick you get votes from the other party where it's possible to achieve some progress. so the party leaders position is always a position that is open to criticism. and work knows, mitch mcconnell has been criticized sometimes unfairly and sometimes fairly. but i think that anybody that looks

mr. o'reilly, i've been a keen viewer of the factor for ten years, i believe you are a better reporter thanraine. >> my comparison had to do with czech in 1938. putin did the exact same thing when invading crimea. both were international violations of law. bill, your comparison was correct. does that make president obama the new nevel chamberlain? that depends on what happened next. few will be duped by putin this time around. we have to give the president a little time to respond. bill, i absolutely agree with you, china is a current that will be most emboldened by putin's actions. >> it seems like bob costas changed his angle only after he praised putin now he's trying to spin it. i had formed an opinion that was not accurate. costas is politically correct left wing spokesman. liberal arts majors like you are not the sharpest knives. why don't you go over to cnn and enjoy dinners with obama's wife. >> is michelle obama at cnn? did i miss that? is she cooking me dinner? did i miss that? >> sounds like a reasonable guy, don. >> scott minio. just purchased two vip tickets. i grew up just thr

mr. putin is the real leader and they don't think kiev is legitimate. certainly no one keen on mr. as you said, john kerry canc cancelled a meeting with the president. it would have been the highest level of contact since russians invaded crimea. the referendum is coming up sunday when people in the region choose whether to join russia. you have the russian border, russian troops all over the streets. many people on the streets say we're coming home. this is all we want, back to mother russia. >> that referendum still about five, six days a way. thank you for that. >>> let's look at the rest of your headlines. score a point for privacy advocates over the controversy in the domestic spying program. the nsa was poised to destroi millions of phone records. a federal judge overseeing the invasion of privacy lawsuit has ordered the records be temporarily preserved. >>> a military sex assault trial could resume today. the judge thinks the top military brass interfered in the case and took plea deal option off the table because they were worried about political fallout. the military is un

. >> william keene of massachusetts. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'd like to thank the secretary. i'd like to thank assistant secretary newlan for your leadership in europe and eurasia including ukraine. i recent bely introduced a resolution to encourage georgia's clugs into nato's membership action plan. i appreciate your efforts, mr. secretary, and the administration's efforts to support this goal. that being said, given what's happening in ukraine, what's already happened in afkazia and south escecia, do you think this is the right moment to actively push some of our european partners towards this goal? second question if i could, i'm also concerned about the often violent situation in bell fast over the past year and the failure of the five parties to agree to a december 2013 draft of a northern ireland peace acco accord. what are your thoughts on a northern ireland peace accord and the elimination of funding for the mitchell scholarship program which i know you've been a strong supporter of and the international fund for ireland? >> well, we're looking at the fund for ireland

keen on making that work. and the specifics of what the pay-for will be are currently under discussion. mr. hoyer: i thank the gentleman. i would simply say, mr. speaker, i'm hopeful in light of the fact that the bill itself is a bipartisan or at least the two committees have agreed on it and i think there's general agreement on the fix for the s.g.r., but the pay-fors have been contentious, i hope as the bill has been a product of agreement that the pay-for, which is essential, would also be a product of that. so i would hope that we would see a bill come to the floor that does have the agreement of both sides of the aisle so that we can, as the gentleman points out and we fully agree, ensure that the s.g.r. is fixed and put on a sustainable path for medicare and for the provider community prior to march 31. so i would hope that could happen. hether the t know w gentleman has watched the colloquys in the past, but the majority leader and i had ongoing discussion about immigration reform. both of us believe the immigration system is broken. both of us believe it needs to be fixed. can the g
