mr. rubens. you get to start then. should there be term limits in congress? mr. rubens: yes. i have self a two-term limit on myself. absolutely. sen. ayotte: yes. i have cosponsored legislation in my time in the senate to establish term limits. sen. ayotte: i think two terms in the senate. the house, a little bit longer. in terms of term limits, i think they have to be in place. josh: if it does not pass, are you going to run again? running now. josh: fair enough. as a state resident, do you think the hands-free law is a bit of an overreach? sen. ayotte: i think people should have been able to decide on their own. itim really, this is a state issue. i believe that people can take personal responsibility to keep themselves safe. we should not be texting when driving. distracted driving is important to address. i think people should take personal responsibility for this. josh: do you agree with the senator on this one? mr. rubens: i think the state has made a wise decision. i have seen people driving along, eating hamburgers, doing this law is making a difference. law enforceme

mr. rubens is a true conservative. debate tonight. pretty lopsided evening out front of wmur studios. josh: once again, join us tonight at 7:00 for the republican primary senate debate and then the next two nights for congressional debates. should be interesting. jean: the use of the national guard in the drug crisis was a hot topic during the governor debate last night. republican candidate jeannie newsroom with a closer look. reporter: it was a testy moment between candidates on the debate stage last night that left many with lingering questions about how the new hampshire national guard is working to fight the flow of drugs into the state and why more people aren't aware of it. this is a program that has been going since the 1990's and is fully funded but very limited. >> national guard to address the crisis here. we are using that nationally and in manchester. reporter: news 9 went to the national guard in concord to learn more about the program and to find out if stationing guardsmen on the border was an option. lieutenant colonel greg heilshorn says the number of guardsmen in th

mr. ruben? >> very briefly, it makes it much easier to launder and much easier to use for nefarious purposes. >> why is it easier to use cash for launder or nefarious purposes? >> because it is -- we often monitor bank accounts and banks also have various structures and in theory, transparency requirements which make it hard to conduct terrorism or drug dealing or any other nefarious activity through the banks. that is why organized crime uses cash. >> mr. dubowitz, did you have an answer to that? >> i absolutely agree. example i quoted in the opening testimony is, we facilitated or green lighted the transfer of $550 million in 2014 as part of the jpoa sanctions relief. it hit the central bank of iran's account in switzerland at the central bank of switzerland. the question then is, mr. chairman, why send $400 million in cash if as mr. backermier said, they were seeking immediacy. we could have provided immediate payment by wire transferring. you've seen those scenes in movies where the hostage-

. >> mr. ruben. >> thank you for the opportunity to testify today about the obama administration's willingness to provide iran with $400 million in cash on the same day iran released all but one of the american hostages held. the united states delivered an additional $1.3 billion. whether the payment was proper, ransom, how iran used the money and whether the fact it might fuel greater terrorism. i have gone into detail in written testimony utilizing iranian sources with regard to how iranian figures perceived the payment, how they might launder it, what their strategy is and how the guard corps corrupts the economy. when secretary of state john kerry said it was iranian money, there's no reason it needed to be paid now. both democratic and republican have delayed payment to avoid funding iranian terrorism. if the united states freezes counselling to al qaeda or hamas, releasing it and saying it's their money anyway would not be a tenable explanation. the closest was the 1848 treaty ending the mexic

ruben. ironically the two of them became odd couple. in some respects it was mr. peres who convinced him who was being pushed also by president obama to finally acknowledge his commitment to a palestinian state. most people will say that's words that hasn't translated into anything. it's akin to the hand shake that mr. rabine extended to him in 1993 on the white house lawn. when he in effect went before them and made that statement, mr. peres felt vindicated that his

ruben. ironically the two of them became odd couple. in some respects it was mr. peres who convinced him who was being pushed also by president obama to finally acknowledge his commitment to a palestinian state. most people will say that's words that hasn't translated into anything. it's akin to the hand shake that mr. rabine extended to him in 1993 on the white house lawn. when he in effect went before them and made that statement, mr. peres felt vindicated that his council had advice in effect earned the -- after all, the two of them had been defense ministers the two had known each other for decades. in israel it's a small country, you either hate or love the people you're around everybody knows everybody. the twof of them were able to -- the two of them were able to form partnership. he relied to a large extent on peres's council. >> can you tell us about what he's saying right now. >> he's talking about the role that he played -- mr. peres played as the father of the country as one of the great founding fathers that he was, in effect, the embodiment when he m

ruben rivalin. benjamin netanyahu's political party. he's emerging in many respects as the inheritor of mr. peres's legacy. he's speaking truth to power. he's speaking truth to the conscious of israel at a time when israel's civil society is under stress because of the religious community against women. mr. rivalin has been supporting gay rights, supporting women's rights. demanding that is supreme court in israel be respected. you have to essentially give mr. rivalin a lot of credit. a lot of mr. peres's legacy is rubbing off on rivalin. >> we expect president obama to speak in a few minutes. as soon as mr. peres's son wraps up his eulogy of his father. one thing we talk about at the beginning of the coverage were the dignitaries there. one notable absence of any arab leaders. talk about what that is a testament to given the current relationship israel has be its neighbors. we talked about rabin's funeral attended by mubarak. you mentioned jordanian deputy prime minister. what does it say about the state of relations between israel and its neighbors? >> ironically it says symbolically arab

mrs. russ, she was the kind of teacher that was always in your business. i told her a story about my uncle ruben i needed some money. he collected glass bottles for a living. 4:00 in the morning on a school day, we'd throw the glass bottles in the back of his van, and the bottles would break, and my hands and arms would start to bleed, and i was terrified and in pain, and i would stop working, and my uncle, he would look at me in the eyes, and he would say to me, "mijo, estamos buscando vida," we're searching for a better life, we're trying to make something out of nothing. mrs. russ listened to my story, welcomed it into the classroom, and said, "victor, this is your power. "this is your potential. "your family, your culture, your community "have taught you a hard-work ethic, "and you will use it to empower yourself in the academic world so you can come back and empower your community." with mrs. russ' help, i ended up returning to school. i even finished my credits on time and graduated with my class. [applause] but mrs. russ said to me right before graduation, "victor, i'm so proud of you. no

ruben. sadly jack passed away july 18 at the age of 88. jack and his two sisters survived the unimaginable, mr. speaker, the atrocities of humanity's darkest period. jack managed to survive the nightmares of auschwitz and three other death camps. four in total until he, as he testified in congress, in 2008, quote, he was liberated on may 1, 1945 from hell by the u.s. army, end quote. once jack came to the united states , he served in the u.s. army. that's how much he loved his new country. for all that jack had witnessed, for all that jack had lived through, somehow he drew strength if his trials and from his tribulations and became a leading force in the fight for justice and dignity for all holocaust survivors. and on this issue that we have before us, mr. speaker, jack was an unwavering voice and a force for justice. he led the call for germany to honor its commitment. to provide for all of the survivors' medical, mental, and home care needs. thankfully, jack lived to see the house pass our resolution. he even lived to see the claims conference in germany announce an alleged major expansion
