mr. rubio: i just for the record, she is not talking about me. [laughter] [applause] ms. boxer: i am so not talking about you. [laughter] try to strikeill a balance of answering your question and not wondering too deeply into domestic policy here. ms. boxer: i know it is a tough one, but you know what? when people talk, it has real-life impacts, especially a present with nominee. have all seen some of the reactions from the south of our border, or mexican brothers and sisters, you have seen president vicente fox's reactions and others. from the embassy bilateral level to the date, we continue to work very closely together. in my personal opinion, we don't -- i do not believe it has gravely affected our ability to do business together. mexico, in the last several months, has reiterated its commitment in continuing with where thetive populace of mexico stance on this may be another matter, but we continue to be able to work closely together bilaterally. ms. boxer: so the words -- so the words hav

mr. rubio: thank you, mr. president. i came to the floor a few weeks ago to bring to the attention an abuse that's occurring in our welfare system and it involves cuban immigration. in sum, let me describe it, the situation we face today. if an immigrant comes to the united states from cuba legally, entering the united states from another country, let me rephrase that. if an immigrant legally enters the united states from any country in the world except for cuba or haiti, they cannot immediately receive federal benefits. if you are a legal immigrant -- you did your paperwork, filled it out, paid the fees and you come to the united states from venezuela, come to the united states from mexico, come to the united states from japan, you're here legally but you do not qualify for any federal benefits for the first five years that you're in this country. there's an exception, however. there's an exception for people that come from cuba. under the cuban adjustment act, anyone who comes from cuba legally or illegally, if you cro

mr. rubio: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. rubio: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that i be allowed to speak for up to ten minutes as if in morning business. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. rubio: mr. president, i wanted to come to the floor again today and discuss the zika virus which has been in the news quite often in my home state of florida and nationally. i wanted to enter into the record in a moment here a number of articles that have appeared just in the last week in papers across the state of florida. on may 7, the newspaper in pensacola with the headline "panhandle conditions create a zika powder keg." and the argument it makes is that that part of the state, as much of the areas in the south, is an area where you find prevalent a species of mosquito which is the primary one that is now transmitting the zika virus. it goes on to say that as temperatures rise and rainfall increases, t

mr. rubio: mr. president, i wanted to talk today about the housing issues -- the presiding officer: the senate is in a quorum call. mr. rubio: mr. president, i ask knack being unanimous consent -- i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. rubio: mr. president, i want to talk about the housing issues contained therein in the bill we're debating, and i want to talk specifically about a project in florida that we game aware of back in october. its name is eureka gardens. it's a low-income, affordable housing project that uses section 8 funds to house people of lower income. as you're all aware of that program. it's run by an organization that owns it. it's called global ministries foundation. it's run by a reverend, richard hamlon. the reverend is the head of the organization. you look at their web site for global ministries, there is a link that says what we do. you go on that section of global ministries. it says -- quote -- "providing aff

mr. rubio: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. rubio: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. rubio: mr. president, a poll last month found four in ten americans heard little or nothing about the zika virus and many others were unaware that it was a risk to the united states. and the likely reason for this is that the virus isn't yet being transmitted locally here in the united states but for all of us in congress this is not excuse for inaction. our jobs are to get ahead of the threats, anticipate them, not just to respond to them. we have all the information we need to know that the zika virus is bad and it is potentially about to get worse. it won't be long, i believe, before virtually all of our people have heard about this virus and are concerned about it and want to know why their leaders aren't doing more to fight it. they want to know what we're doing now and sadly the answer is no

mr. rubio: thank you, mr. president. let me just say how encouraged i am seeing some action in congress dealing with the zika virus. we have three separate proposals that will come up for a vote. i support fully funding the request made. it came from the white house, but it is really the scientist' request, the public health sector's request for how to fight this issue. it, $1.9 billion we can find it. this is a public health emergency that cannot wait for this extended debate on this issue, especially when you talk about $18 trillion debt. zika funding is not the reason why. it is not the national driver of our debt. that is why dealing with long-term security of medicare and social security is so critical. but we can pay for $1.9 trillion and we should, but it is public health experts that is said the amount we need is $1.9 billion. i continue to urge my colleagues to take this with a sense of urgency that the public health experts have. the people i have been interacting with are not political people. i have been talk

mr. rubio: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. rubio: madam president, i have six unanimous consent requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. i ask unanimous consent that these requests be agreed to and that these requests be printed in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. rubio: thank you, madam president. we are debating -- we are on the motion to proceed to the national defense authorization act, and there's so many different aspects that we need to touch upon. the senator from west virginia actually just touched on one of them. a lot of people may not consider it that way, but the threat posed to the united states by transnational criminal groups operating out of mexico and other parts of the western hemisphere are a direct threat to the security of our people. we had a hearing earlier today in the subcommittee, the western hemisphere subcommittee, and we heard testimony from government officials and the administration

and for mr. rubio to say they're not going to oppose donald trump may not be a measure of affection as for his dis affection for hillary clinton and that's really the primary motivation for republicans who don't really like donald trump's policy, or many who say lack of policies. but hillary clinton, for most right winger, it's a no brainer. >> thank you, carl. all eyes are on donald trump. trump is making a big bid to strike gold in california. a traditionally blue state and get a huge win in the november election. >> i am going to make a heavy, heavy, heavy play because i honestly think that getting these massive crowds all over the place, i actually think we'w we're going to win california. plus i have property here, i have employees here. so we're going to make a big statement. >> and hillary clinton launching a new campaign ad in california. it features the voice of hollywood superstar morgan freeman. >> her life's work has been about breaking barriers. and so would her presidency. which is why fo

mr. rubiot, youth, energy, from the battleground state of florida, he's latino. rubio tell me why he will not serve as trumps vp as well as discussing his plans for future. so you're willing to go to cleveland, you're willing to speak if appropriate, you want to do whatever you can to defeat hillary clinton. and you like public service. is the door still closed to being donald trump's vice president? >> it is because, in my view, this wouldn't be the right choice for him the donald i think deserves to have a vice president, he deserves to have a running mate that fully embraces some of the thing his stands for. >> we should definitely think that those of white house cover politics and those of your fans watching this right now, that this is not the end of it for you. like you will -- you think you will likely run if not for president again, something that will -- >> i think that's a safe assumption. but, i don't know where i'm going to be in two years. i don't know. i can tell you i enjoy publi

and for mr. rubio to say that he is not going to oppose donald trump and be willing to help him may not be so much a measure of his affection for the billionaire as it is his disaffection for hillary clinton. that's really the primary motivation for republicans who don't particularly like donald trump's policies or many who say lack of policies but compared to hillary clinton, for most on the right, it's a no-brainer. >> that's the whole point. if you want to put hillary clinton in the white house, you know, if you do then keep being negative about the g.o.p. nominee. all right. carl, thank you so much for that update. all eyes are on donald trump. trump is making a big push to strike gold in california. trump is trying to flip the traditionally blue state and get a huge win in the november election. >> i am going to make a heavy, heavy, heavy play. we are getting massive crowds all over the place. i actually think we are going to win california. plus i have property here. i have employees here. so we

mr. rubio: thank you, mr. president. first of all, let me begin by saying how encouraged i am that we're finally seeing some action here in congress dealing with the zika virus. today we have not one but three separate proposals to deal with this that are going to come up for a vote. i support fully funding the requests made, people say the president's request. fine, it came from the white house. but it's really the scientists requests, the doctors requests, the public health sector's requests for how to address this issue. the fundamental point that i make is twofold. number one is we can pay for it, $1 phoeu 9 billion -- 1.9 billion we can find it, by the way we can always come back later and find it too. i know that is hard in washington. but this is a public health emergency that cannot wait for this extended debate on this issue, especially when you talk about an $18 trillion debt, zika funding is not the reason we have an $18 trillion debt. it's not the national driver of our debt. that's why dealing with long-term

even when the crowd will go and boo marco rubio, mr. trump will say no, no, no, rubio is actually a nice guy. so now rubio comes out with a facebook post and he says specifically that he has no interest in being vetted for vice president, that instead he will focus on florida and in helping elect conservatives around the country. so rule marco rubio out. craig. >> continues to be interesting to hear him sing rubio's praises after calling him little marco for best part of half a year. jacob rascon, thanks as always, sir. house speaker paul ryan returning to capitol hill this morning. hallie jackson is also there. who comes into this meeting between donald trump and paul ryan with the upper hand, hallie? >> reporter: listen, craig, donald trump is coming here to washington as the presumptive republican nominee. congress is coming back for the first time since he took that position, and he is the person who is now the de facto leader of the republican party, at least according to what voters have said they wanted, republican primary voters.

mr. trump? you look at people like cruz, kasich and rubio.ee them standing up yet and paul ryan is still yet to come. >> brit, is it possible if we look at west virginia, it could translate in pennsylvania, ohio and kentucky. the pennsylvania and maybe michigan where bernie sanders supporters say they would vote for donald trump. in a way that's a premise of the trump campaign. you can make up the shortfall with minority and ethnic voters and women with blue collar white voters, mostly men. it is a matter of mathematics. tough but not impossible. the question is could he improve the number 62-23 unfavorable among hispanics. i thought the number one worse frankly. he's not that far behind romney. trump will try to find a way to reach out to hispanics. maybe he can hold the clinton margins. whoever ends up with the margins down there it might be enough. >> can he pull democrats and win hispanics? >> it will be hard to pull democrats. these were hillary clinton voters in 2008 when she was running against barack obama. now she's to the left so mu

rubio. what did you think? >> i don't really think anything. i think mr. trump will be the nominee.will get more than the 1237. obviously we want the support of every one of the former contenders for the presidency as well as everybody in the senate and in the house. mr. trump will do that. he's a up unifier. >> ted cruz, marco rubio, jeb bush, lindsey graham, all of his presidential opponents, they signed a pledge to support the republican nominee. they're no exactly jumping on board for donald trump right now. p what does that tell you? >> it doesn't tell me anything. basically means that it will take a little bit longer for them to come on board. everybody seems to take their own amount of time that they're looking before which they figure it out. but will trump will -- again, he will bring everybody together. it's what he does. he will be the great unifier. and just to use the metaphor of the wall, if you think about it, it's really hillary clinton who is a dogmatic democrat who has actually built a wall across the aisle. donald trump will build a bridge, he will bring the repub

that could chipping, finishing the top three is marco rubio who said he is not in alignment with mr. trump and that the candidate would have to have a running mate who is. so, what do you make of that and what donald trump is saying about their reluctance? >> this is really my dream team if they were all wanting to and -- if they were assured yeses, but obvious live that's not really the case when you have donald trump alienating almost -- a lot of people in the g.o.p. establish. joani antiis very interesting. she has -- joni ernst has not said no. she hays new on the scene but primaciesed so many people. she won with tea party support and has senator john mccain's backing as well, as well as former popular governor terry branstad. she is very articulate and was a -- a veteran, she was in to reserve for 22 years in representing the national guard and the army so she could boost his bona fides in that. >> an interesting choice, first african-american senator from the deep south would carry certain cachet. >> i have talk to tim scott quite a lot and he is so likeable and that's what i

mr. trump. >> so what about some of the other big names that he defeated that he may need to bring in to unite the party? marco rubioome to mind. >> well, you're absolutely right. ben carson and chris christie did reach out to mr. trump and they told him they see the movement that he has, the ability to bring in new voters, which is extremely important. but mr. trump is going to consider everyone. he does want people to reach out to him. he's going to reach out to other people. this just happened last night. let's give it a week for the dust to settle so that mr. trump can get used to being the gop nominee, start thinking about these vice presidential picks and he is going to unite the party. >> when you say the dust perhaps will settle, there is a lot of dust that he kicked up in the air. let's look at the numbers -- >> it wasn't just him. >> he has an 88% negative with african-american voters. he brought this up last night, that he would bring in the black vote. hispanics, 79% negatives. women, 69% negatives. people between the age of 18 and 34, 75% negative view of donald trump at this point. how does the dust se

marco rubio has signed on saying you know his delegates should vote for mr. trump and he'll go to cleveland and he'll be helpful if need be. that signals that the unity is continuing and that's the kind of thing that will continue to put pressure on ryan to make a decision. >> it looks like the focus is going to be on philadelphia as far as problems. potentially. and now this is a coronation that will be organized in cleveland. >> well absolutely. and that's what everybody had expected for the democrats. and sanders is going to remain in this. even if he is, if there's an absolute achievement of the delegate count that hillary needs. he's not going to concede in the sense that he will be out there to fight on the platform. waiting in the wings in case she loses the comey fbi primary. but on the republican side, i think with what you have with paul ryan is ultimately everyone knows he's going to have to endorse. but i think he played it well by saying after his initial hesitation, i'm not ready, i need to talk about this. saying he's willing to step down if tr

mr. trump. an and i'm not sure where this rhetoric is coming from marco rubio or ted cruz and i think the focus is unifying the party to defeat hillary clinton. >> let me throw out numbers that have come up. a recent quinnipiac poll, these are heads to heads in presumable races and of course, since we don't have a democratic nominee right now, you got a clinton and a trump match-up and a bernie and a trump match-up. let's talk about the clinton match-up. in florida, beats him by a point and in ohio, beats her by four and in pennsylvania, she beats him only by a point. for her part, bernie sanders does better against trump and significantly better in fact in all three states. so the question i have is tara, when trump goes to this meeting on capitol hill on thursday, there's so many issues. the rnc machine. these numbers that you're looking at. here's the bernie numbers for trump on all three swing states which are so critical. but he needs them and they need him. so nobody has a right to bulldoze through this meeting, do they, tara? >> no one else bulldozed anything except for donald trump. he'

mr. trump is a classic bully. so he has a very high emotional intelligence when you see him on stage with marco rubio, he is saying little marco and assess a person very quickly and know what to do and say to get under their skin and that kind of impulsivity when you are dealing with the complexity of foreign affairs concerns me when you have a country that may disagree with our policy on a particular position. and to then out-right use our military as leverage to exact revenge for a philosophical disagreement should be a concern to most americans if they get beyond the rhetoric and the emotionalism that comes with mr. trump. >> the gentleman at the door. >> [ inaudible question ]. >> i would say it is important -- wide-ranging. mr. trump said recently, oh, oh, the mexicans, they love me. i think he was referring to like five who voted for him in arizona. so i think the support is greatly overstated. listen, after 9/11 there were muslims who supported president bush. and there were muslims -- most muslims did not necessarily support president bush. i think you will always find in any community that has been subjug

governor kasich is asking california to ignore the fact that ted cruz and marco rubio have more delegates than he earned. mry are poking fun. this one, quote, kasich staying in the race to take advantage of the free food. and another, quote, "leave the race? i'm in the middle of breakfast. i'm not making any statements until i'm done." phil mattingly is at dulles airport where kasich is expected to speak soon. >> reporter: the reality of the race is another. trailing donald trump by more than 900 delegates and lagging finances. john kasich is not going anywhere. at least what his advisors are saying. that's what we expect him to say when he comes to dulles airport. the rationale i've been given is this. he tells a story about when around schwarzenegger told him during the governor's races. love the beatings. the kasich staff said kasich is willing to take the beatings, love the beatings. as long as it gives him an opportunity to challenge donald trump. that's the concern he has about trump candidacy what a trump candidacy would do up-and-down the ballot through the entire party. he believes he'll hold himse

mr. trump will debate whoever emerges from the system. >> he could face more competition this fall. libertarians nominated gary johnson and conservatives are promising, "impressive independents with a strong team and real chance." could that be rubio or romney, someone to split the republican vote? he says the conservatives behind him are light weights. >>> chaos erupted in houston shortly after 10:00 yesterday morning. a gunman taking aim at random people even firing at officers. one man was killed sitting in his car. a police helicopter was hit five times. police say this could have been much worse. >> we do not know what started this. they were shooting randomly. just at whoever happened to come upon the scene. these officers did what they had to do. they took care of one another and contained the scene. the man has not been identified. the officers hurt have been released from the hospital. >>> a traffic stop was caught on dash cam. a florida officer pulled over a man driving with his head lights 0. the driver was wearing a bulletproof vest. the driver fired once as the officer opened the car door and asked him to step out. after a short chase he arrested the suspect. >>> a soccer star safe after being rescued by mexican polic

rubio in the running? >> well i think everyone mr.lready said that that has run was up for consideration, he didn't want the leave anybody out for any reason, i think that goes to show another important aspect of mr. trump's leadership not going to look at one because he was a competitor he wants the right person for the job, sewn that can help him spread his vision. >> good to see you thanks so much. >> great to be here. >> we appreciate it see you soon, still to come more protests strikes expected this week in paris, the impact on country's toucr industry next. >> ♪ ♪ . >>> . maria: welcome back a car accident killing three girls near orlando florida cheryl casone with the story. cheryl: really tough story on memorial day weekend suv carrying 11 people skidding off a highway 40 miles east of orlando three girls killed 8 injured a toddler he rejected among those injured appears a tire function caused the driver to loss control that have suv. >> well this morning, france i can say hit hard with labor problems protesters and protesters

mr. trump. he said it's a no brainer, you're supporting him. row have perry, john kasich, marco rubiod cruz, scott walker just to name a few, bobby jindal, rick scott of florida, you have this team of governors that govern conservatively, took high def sits turn them into surpluses. brought hundreds of thousands of jobs to their states. do you think maybe announcing a team of rivals at some point? making announcements, my secretary of state, my secretary of defense, my health and human services secretary, ben carson. >> yeah, i don't want to get too far ahead of it but what i think you have is you have great governors out there who understand what it's like to be the ceo of their state. sometimes with republican legislatures and sometimes with democrat lectures. that's the model we need to follow. look at what rick scott has been able to do in florida, very, very good job. look what governor jindal has done in louisiana. you look at some of the states, balanced budget requirements. you have to make sure we're not passing on debt to our children and grandchildren moving forward because

mr. trump gets his agenda. >> and they'll embark on a nationwide tour. and trump saying he won't announce his nominee until the convention. we talked about marco rubio just a moment ago. he came out and said he will support the nominee, but he's not going much further, saying he still have differences with donald trump. bret? >> john, thank you. let's find out what we're learning from exit polling in nebraska and west virginia. kristin fisher has numbers for us this evening. >> good evening, bret. tonight is something of a victory lap for donald trump. g.o.p. voters feel betrayed by the republican party. half in west virginia feel that way. they back trump in every state except two, arkansas and wisconsin. another reason, g.o.p. voters are angry at the flof federal government. they make up about half in west virginia. these voters have gone for donald trump in almost every contest this year, then, trade has been a huge issue and voters agree with him that trade hurts the economy and takes jobs away from americans. now, on all of these questions donald trump is the guy for the voters but do they think he can win? yes. look at this. in nebraska, 82% s

mr. trump himself. he just sat down with brett baier. he said he has been having a lot of nice conversations with marco rubio lately, which analysts say is very sport. >> marco rubio brings something to the ticket that donald trump doesn't have. he is from a very, very much a battleground state of florida. his latino background is important, and he is a young face in the republican party that can really help to unite it. >> reporter: of course, m-trump doesn't need to pick a running mate until this summer at the convention. we found out this afternoon that only one former nominee or president will be in the house, bob dole. mitt romney says he is not going. >> mr. trump likes to speak of the size of his crowd and other things. wonder if they're still predicting big crowds even though he locked up the nomination? >> it's pouring rain here in charleston, west virginia. we have seen a thick stream of trump supporters lining up on the other side of this arena in charleston. the campaign is expecting at least 13,500 people and think it's going to be a rowdy crowd. the local paper is reporting mass many as 40 or 50 officers are on hand, work w

so marco rubio coming out and publicly saying, listen, you know my grievances with mr.however, i'm going to do everything i can to make sure that hillary clinton, as he perceives her to be the democratic nominee, will not be in the white house. and so i think this was very classy of him. i think it's something other republicans need to follow an example of. there are 73 of those 172 delegates that will still be bound when they get to the convention. so don't be surprised when you here rubio's name said from the floor. they are legally bound from eight states that they have to still stick with rubio whether or not he is still in the race. >> i just have to ask you this because it wasn't that long ago that marco rubio was calling donald trump a con man saying he would do anything in his power to prevent him from being the president of the united states, and now he's coming around to him seemingly. do you think it is more about donald trump, the fact he actually likes him, or more about the fact that it could be politically advantageous for him in the future because donald

mr. trump is a classic bully. he has high emotional intelligence. withyou see him on stage marco rubio -- he can assess a person quickly and know what to say and do to get under their skin. that kind of impulsivity when you're dealing with a complex cities of foreign affairs concerns me when you have a country that may disagree with our policy on a particular position. and to then outright use our military as leverage to exact revenge for philosophical disagreement should be a concern to most americans if they get beyond the rhetoric and emotionalism that comes with mr. trump. [inaudible] rep. carson: i would not say support is wide-ranging great mr. trump said, the mexicans love me. i think he's referring to 5 who voted for him in arizona. i think the support is greatly overstated. after 9/11, there were muslims who supported president bush. most muslims did not necessarily support president bush. find inyou will always that has been subjugated to racism, islamophobia, and outright bigotry, there will always be some who feel it is important to go beyond the call of duty to placate to

mr. ornstein: exactly. all the ex-wives -- and we can have a unity lunch. we see marco rubio, already, perhaps, giving him a template for how to make the pivot, but a whole a lot of people will be making that pivot, and it might not turn out to be as dire as it looks right now. factor weis another have to keep in mind -- the koch brothers and their allies amassed a war chest of between $800 million and $900 million, and they have spent some on building the most sophisticated voter identification we have out there, and they have more troops on the ground than the republican national committee. my guess is a lot of that money goes into house and senate races, and identifying republican voters, making sure they turnout at the polls, and telling them in many cases, do whatever you want the presidential level, but just make sure you protect our last lines of defense. that will be a lot of money and a sophisticated effort. i will say, getting back to henry's point, it raises another interesting and somewhat troubling element, which is donald trump is now going to pick his chairman

rubio did and showed he put the party over his own ego. we know this is a very bloody primary and the words said back and forth amongst all the candidates, but especially between mr. trump and each of the different ones definitely were some major daggers. but in the end, we realized just like marco rubiopoi points out,m going to do everything i can to keep hillary clinton out of office because the mistake she had make, they're not just small mistakes. they're absolute things that endanger our entire country and national security and she's done that in the past and shows what her track record will be for the future. most republicans realize this, embrace this, see through the spin of a lot of her pundits and say, no, she has a very dangerous person who made mistakes on purpose and thinks she's above the law. that's why i think marco rubio was doing this. >> i was watching primetime television last night and i saw a lot of treatment of donald trump's comments at a news conference when he once again referred to elizabeth warren as pocahontas but this time, a reporter said, isn't that racist? and another reporter who happens to be native american did yell out, that i

mr. dudley, thank you for being here and we look forward to your testimony. >> thank you very much, chairman rubio. the u.s. portion of the world heroin market is quite small by comparison in terms of user but really out sized in terms of potential earnings. the rand corporation estimated in 2014 u.s. consumers spent as much as 27 billion on heroin each year an increase from 20 billion in the year 2000. mexican and columbia organizations have reacted to the changes by producing more heroin. as noted mexico counts for the bulk of the poppy production in the region. seizure data of heroin along the southwest border indicate that mexican criminal groups are moving increasing amounts of heroin in the market. they are also the key transporters of columbia heroin to the united states and manage and purchase the heroin produced in guatemala or by the opium gum to profit and turn it in mexico. the trend appears to be the same in the u.s. mexican groups are seeking an increase amount of marketing share and displacing other wholesalers. it is a lucrative market with large mexican criminal organizations mana

the counterterrorism working group for marco rubio in 2015, john mccain's presidential campaign in 2007-2008. as far as those men that you worked for before, mr. boot, how would they approach or how would they differ than mr. trump's current policy? >> guest: their policies are radically different' you know, i grew up in the 1980s as a ronald reagan republican. ronald reagan believed in american leadership abroad and limited government at home. he was pro-free trade and pro-immigration. he was hopeful and optimistic. he was a gentleman. he did not go around insulting his opponents or flingingg childish abuse. i would say that all of the presidential candidates, john mccain, mitt romney and marco rubio who i worked for, were very much in the reagan mold. on the other hand, donald trump is the indiana-reagan -- anti-reagan. he is full of hatred. he espouses policies that are directly in contravention to those of ronald reagan and the other republican candidates who have come after ronald reagan.n. he is, to my mind, he is not ano real republic. he's somebody who only joined the republican party in 2012. he does not espouse the principles that i
