and the united states of america in many cases is the example. you know who else is the example every place i go in the region? turkey. we want to be like turkey. that's what they say. they see this reconciliation between islam and democracy. i've made them very clear. but when you see what people want, they understand that this reconciliation between fundamental islam and democracy has to be reconciled. that's what is happening in turkey with certainly some difficulties as well. and i stand here not as a critic that we are gridlocked not far from here and the american people are not very happy with our performance either. i hope that responds to your question. >> senator, this morning you've been somewhat restrained in talking about syria. i wonder if i contempt you to say more explicitly what you want turkey and the united states to do, what you want nato to do. >> one of the criticisms right now, and there's legitimacy to it, is that the leadership of the syrian resistance has not coalesced. the best way to resolve that and to have that coales

they want to battle the common interests of the united states of america rather than getting to results that would fashion energy policy for the long term for the united states of america. i reject the notion that we cannot do the right thing. americans, overall, believe that we have a huge consensus about what we ought to be doing as an american society, as a nation, the united states of america. most americans would look at all of us, the members of congress, and say, we want united states to cut its dependence on oil. they would say that they remember the days when richard nixon coin the term "energy independence." when we thought we could get to energy independence. they would say that jimmy carter declaring energy independence as a moral and credible warless signaling something that was important to our future. there would also be cognizant that no matter how important those leaders of our country felt, when you go through the '80s and '90s under ronald reagan, bush, clinton, not much was done in terms of moving us forward to energy security. some of that started happening in 2005

houston is in the southern part of the united states of america.areer, as a member of the homeland security committee, i went to the border to visit the border patrol agents, way before the unique funding that they have received and the new technology that they have been able to gain. i have seen how hard their work is. i was on the border in the dark of night. none of what happened today gives dignity or response to the tragedy of the loss of brian terri. i would not be so arrogant to suggest that i could speak to his family because the loss of a loved one is unspeakable. but what i will say today is that can: can anyone in america even believe, even fathom that any member of congress is not saddened democrat or republican or independent, house ornate is not saddened by the loss of a public serveant a first responder in the line of duty. every one of us are pained about this but today, the shameless attempt to intertwine the tragedy of this lost soul to the heinous and unfathomable decision to hold in contempt for the first time in the history of

america. however, when the festivities were over, we remained unrecognized as sovrj nations by the united states of america. the indians lived under the treaty, ironically called the articles of peace, crowned to the united states. signatories are sovereign suggests of the crown. as recently as the first decade, this treaty was applied to a court case involving the virginia indians. why we are now recognized by the commonwealth of virginia, federal recognition continues to elude us. please allow me to site a painful example of why the current administrative process falls short in embracing the realities the virginia indians face. in 1912 a man became head of the first bureau of arts and statistics in virginia. he was an erratic white acce seperatist. to give you an idea of the motives surrounding this companion bill was a sterilization act that called for the sterilization of feebleminded inmates. from 1924 the official common wel did not allow the virginian tribes to list indian or any other triable affiliation on the birth records. this act served as the official policy of virginia for five de

and so it seems to me that the united states of america should play and can play a role. not by intervening militarily but by inspiring these people, the way our beloved ronald reagan did in the cold war, the way harry truman stood up when the american people were war weary, the way that leaders throughout our history has. that's the heritage and greatness of america that i think calls for american exceptionalism. everybody has called the 20th century the american century. i believe it's still possible for the 21st century to be called with a new relationship the nations throughout the world, a partnership, that the 21st century could also be called the american and friends century. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> next, we are very honored to be able to welcome another insightful and important voice on turkey, turkish ambassador namik tan. he's a friend of the middle east institute and of the united states. he has been turkey's envoy in the united states since 2010 but he's no stranger to the u.s. this is actually his third diplomatic assignment here. he has risen q

this is a very sad day for the united states of america, when the president when it gauged himself at the last minute and tried to exert executive privilege, when the attorney general who again -- and, you know, our job is to find out what went wrong. maybe he is innocent. maybe people are innocent in this, but there is no reason in the world or under the law or under the proceedings of congress and our constitution, the way this government is set up that this committee is not entitled to this information in this investigation to again maintain the integrity of this important office. i don't know, maybe i'm idealistic. i didn't think this could go on in a department of justice in the united states of america in this day and age. it's a very sad day. the gentle lady from the district of columbia is recognized for five minutes. >> i have a question about the process. >> lady is recognized for a question. >> -- that was undertaken with respect to the last 24 hours in light of the statement you made. we are down, as i understand it, to internal, deliberative documents which may be the bas

the best way for the united states of america to help our country is to stay strong. the truth is when the united states of america leads, the world is a better place. it is a scary world out there. watch the news anytime of the day. it is a better place when we lead the world. this is again what is as sftake in this election. you cannot lead if you first don't lead economically. this administration is doing everything wrong. it is difficult for us to lead in other ways. you run down the policies. tax, health care, every major policy area. how many think we need a new tax code? i get the same response. almost everyone raises their hands. everybody gets it. think about on the personal side any tax code that says we are going to allow 47% of the population not to participate in the tax code is broken. so if it is broken and stupid you might want to throw it out and start over. think about that. and regulatory, this is -- any business person you talk to will tell you, this regulation is killing us. energy policy, this loan guarantee program, this administration is done. t

that's before the recession. 44% of children in the united states of america live in low-income households right now. 44%. it goes back to dr. malveaux's point about priorities. we know one third of the achieve gap, whichever achievement gap you want to talk about happens for a child between zero and 5 years old. because kids are so nimble then. that's when they are sponges and pick it all up. one third. we also know that when there is a good, early childhood program, everybody, republicans, democrats, everybody loves early childhood. there is a rate of return on investment for $7 for every $1 you invest in early childhood. don't know too many investments better than that. so, less than 30% of 4-year-olds are in publicly funded 4-year-old pre-k programs in the united states of america. so we know it works. we know it is a great rate of return. we know particularly for kids who are poor, if we can get them in, it's fantastic, and we know, take a place like new york, my hometown, it's harder to get in to a pre-k program here than it is to get in to harvard.
