now eight days later -- >> all right, mr. rubioave you have a seat in this chair here. >> -- rubio must face the disciplinary board, who will decide whether or not to give him further sanctions for the assault. >> mr. rubio, how do you plead? >> no contest. >> you do not wish to plead your case whatsoever? >> i didn't do it. that's it. can you tell me who wrote that report, what officers were in there? >> officer martinez wrote the report. captain barabas also followed up on it. >> so he went and saw this? >> are you going to let me finish what i said? >> go ahead. >> as the hearing continues, rubio asks several technical questions about the report and questions the credibility of the disciplinary board itself. >> okay. what other -- >> i'm going to conclude what you're saying because you're just running around in circles right now. >> [ bleep ]. >> do you have any questions or concerns -- >> [ bleep ] your hearing. that's what i feel like. go ahead and give me the 30 days lockdown. >> go ahead. we're done. well, you know what? we'

mr. rubio: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. rubio: mr. president, i don't intend to offer another motion since the objection's been heard. i do want to point out a couple things. first of all, this notion that obamacare is the law. it's true it is the law. it was passed by congress in the years before i got here. this is called the calendar of business. this is the executive calendar. basically every single bill that's in here is an effort to change existing law for the most part. that's what we do around here. that's what the legislative process is about. virtually every bill that is filed is either an effort to create a new law, but usually it is an effort to change existing law. if we begin to argue around here that once something is existing law it can never be changed, we might as well close up shop because that's what we do. that's what the legislative process is about. the second point that was made is that this law will prevent people from having health insurance. that is not true. let me say this. number one, i am in favor of peo

mr. rubio: mr. president, it now appears that at some point this evening we will reach the end of the latest washington manufactured crisis of the month. but unfortunately the real crisis facing our country remains and that real crisis is the growing sense among our people that we are losing the american dream. why do people feel this way? because more than 4 million americans have been out of work for six months or more. because millions more find themselves stuck with jobs that do not pay enough for them to live the way they used to. and while their paychecks aren't growing, their bills are. ask the young couples and the single parents how much they're spending every month to provide child care for their children. ask the students, the young americans who are stuck with thousands of dollars in student loans that they're now struggling to pay. this is the real crisis facing america. that our status as a land of opportunity seems to be eroding and that so many of our political leaders seem oblivious

mr. rubio: okay. thank you, madam president.with all this focus on -- going on this washington these days, i think on the fighting that's going on in washington these day, i think we're losing focus on the big of the issue that faces our country, and that's the pervasive and growing sense that we're losing control of our country. that the -- that we're losing the american dream. why do people feel this way? well, because millions of them have been out of a job for months and maybe even years, because millions more find themselves stuck with jobs that don't pay enough for them to live on, or certainly for them to live like they used to. you know, when people hear the news that the economy is recovering, that unemployment is down by .1% this week or this month that the stock market is up and that the recession is over, it makes people angry. and rightfully so, because the recession might be over on wall street, but it's not over for millions of people who are out of work or stuck with jobs that do not pay enough to live off. and y

mr. rubio: clearly the issue we're facing here with regard to the budget, obamacare, the debt ceilinceiling is a very importat issue. in the hours to come, i am i'll have a lot more to tai say about it. i have waited to reserve my comntses on the issue of iran, but i felt at this point reaching today i could no longer wait to speak out on it. so if my colleagues w

mr. rubio: mr. president, despite all this noise going on, this fight we're having, i think the one thing we can agree on is the most important thing for our country is to restore and save the american dream. with all of this talk of an economic recovery it would shock people around this country who are struggling to find a job or who have a job but this job is a dead-end job, they can't live off what they're make, there is a lot of reasons why that's happen. one of the reasons is in the 21st century the job you need requires a higher level of skill. this hurts people that are disadvantaged especially children growing up in dangerous neighborhoods with little access to education and broken families, they're struggling to get ahead and we're seeing the impacts of the societal breakdown every day. we have a program called head start. this program helps children five years of age and younger, about a million kids a year that benefit from this program. it helps them to get meals. it helps them to get ac

[laughter] but look, to balance immaterial, now, let's give them a little good news. gallup just found them at 11% popularity. that's more than double what the ap had. [laughter] but, obviously, it's very, very low, and members of congress know it. they don't want to be this unpopular. they want to reach a solution, and, you know, we just heard a press conference that for the fi

mr. rubio: clearly the issue we're facing here with regard to the budget, obamacare, the debt ceilinceiling is a very importat issue. in the hours to come, i am i'll have a lot more to tai say about it. i have waited to reserve my comntses on the issue of iran, but i felt at this point reaching today i could no longer wait to speak out on it. so if my colleagues would indulge me for a few minutes. because as serious as the case may be with regards to our budget and debt limit, we have another crisis brewing, one that goes to our national security interests, one that unites us across the aisle. that's the issue and the threat that iran's nuclear ambitions pose to the world. the reason why i felt i could no longer wait to address this is because i believe, as many of you do, that the world is entering a crucial time in the international efforts to stop iran's nuclear program. on september 24 of this year i, along with a group of other senators, wrote to the president, and i expressed -- we expres

if marco rubio, if mr. a party can't get immigration reform through and can't even talk about it, that party is in big, big trouble. >> let's talk about politics for a moment. i think he's got talent. i look at rubio, i think he's got charm, likability, charismatic, good looking and all the things that tend to matter in politics. and he's young as hell and he beat charlie crist down there. he's got some victory stripes on him. is it now the new nature of the party in order to get the republican nomination in 2016 you must behave like someone who doesn't deserve it. this is the great quagmire they're going into. in other words, to be a nominee, you must be crazy. but to be crazy, you're not going to go after the president. >> it's all about getting the nomination first before you worry about the general election. because in this country, you're going to get 45% of the vote just by having the r after your name. that's the prize for these guys. what we're seeing is, they're bidding up the craziness or the anti-

mr. president." marco rubio, in an opportunistic move says, welcome you know what?i want to do something for the dreamers. we said to the president, if marco rubio is going to stop the deportation and stops sort of -- short of citizenship, we need to stop the deportation and protect the dreamers. then the president for months before the election signed an executive order in today there are 500,000. i have never been more thankful to the president of the united states and when he took that action. but we should remember that for a year and a half, the president of the united states in every venue he could -- he created venues. he created one of florida and el paso in which he specifically said, "i cannot take any action." in the end, he did. we had a triumphed because of the processes and effort of our community. >> as juan gonzalez. wrote, we are about to pass 2 million deportations under president obama. your thoughts on that, congressman gutierez? >> number one, look. issident barack obama history, his tenure as president of the united states, is going to be marke

the minute he was slapped down, marco rubio ran the other way. mr. tea party can't get immigration reform through and talk about it: he has to reject it and that party is in big, big trouble. >> i think he's got talent. he's got charm and likability and charismatic and all the things that tend to matter in politics and young as hell. he has victory stripes on him. now the question is, is it now the new nate tower get the republican nomination in 2016, you must behave like someone who doesn't deserve it. this is the quagmyre. to be a nominee, you have to be crazy, but could be crazy, you won't get elected president. >> it's about getting the nomination first. in this country you will get 45% by having the r after your name. that's the big prize. we are seeing thaw have to bid up the craziness or the anti-obama rhetoric to appeal to where the votes are and the energy within the tea party base. rand paul did a filibuster against drones and became the tea party darling as the opposition and ted cruz leapfrogged over him with obama care and poor marco rub

mr. chairman. >> senator rubio. >> let me begin before i ask my questions -- i don't want the tone of my questions or direction in any way not to reflect on my admiration for your service to our country. and not only that, where you have shown consistent interest in the syrian people. but we have a chance to ask a question about the strategy. let me begin with something i think i know the answer to. you have referred repeatedly how the future of the syrian people belongs to the syrian people. whatou also believe that happens there is in our vital national interest. senator, just the fact that syria has the risk of destabilizing the region and become a base for terrorism, absolutely. >> i just want to make that clear. why do we even care about what is happening in another country? it is not just a civil war. it has implications in the region. in a few moments on the second panel, we will hear from an ambassador who will testify based upon his written testimony that syria on its present course is becoming the worst of all seek -- worst of all conceivable scenarios, a failed state that is divided bet

the minute he was slapped down by right wing media, rubio has run the other way. if mr.ea party can't get immigration reform through and can't even talk about it, that party is in big, big trouble. >> let's talk about politics for a moment. i think he's got talent. i think he's got charm, likability, charismatic, good looking and all the things that tend to matter in politics. and he's young as hell and he beat charlie crist down there. he's got some victory stripes on him. is it now the new nature of the party in order to get the republican nomination in 2016 you must behave like someone who doesn't deserve it. this is the great quagmire they're going into. >> it's all about getting the nomination first before you worry about the general election. because in this country, you're going to get 45% of the vote just by having the r after your name. that's the prize for these guys. they have to bid up the craziness or the anti-obama rhetoric in order to appeal to where the votes are and the energy is within the party. the tea party base. so rand paul did a filibuster against

and on august 1, senator rubio blocked us from starting a conference right before the august recess. mr. president, we've come here 18 times, and every single time we tried to get in that room, every time we tried to start a conference and negotiate, republicans stood up and they blocked us. and, by the way, it wasn't just democrats either. quite a few of our senate republicans joined us in pushing for a conference. my colleague, senator mccain, joined democrats on the floor and said blocking a conference was -- quote -- "incomprehensible" and -- quote -- "insane." senator corker said that -- quote -- "to keep from appointing conferees is not consistent." senator flake said -- quote -- "he'd like to see a conference." mr. president, republicans offered one excuse after another. and, by the way, none of them added up. fixer they said they wanted a preconference framework even though that is exactly what a budget is and exactly what we were negotiating over. then they said they wouldn't allow us to go to conference unless we guaranteed, guaranteed in our budget that the wealthiest america
