what could the state do? >> first of all i think it's important to recognize what past -- it regulates the operation of sports gambling schemes. it doesn't actually regulate sports gambling in the generic sense and it says nothing about individuals in gaming -- if new jersey wants to say all of our prohibitions on the demand -- all of its provisions of the demand-side it can partially repeal. >> can the federal government enact a law say no state shall pass an income tax greater than 6%? >> i think it might be able to do that. let's put it this way -- i don't know why in principle that would be so different from the statute issued in baker which is no state shall issue a bearer bond. i think it's the same. to the extent it would be odd, isn't it just a preemption provision. even he concedes if congress regulated the field they would be no problem with the preemption. >> it seems to me there is something a little more odd which it goes to the fundamentals and powers of the state to function their own government

the states. all right? now, that cannot be 100% true because we have all the reaction. -- all preemption. you can still get it is basically true with preemption being a commerce cause based exemption. then ask, what have we here? transportation safety act? osha? nothing like that. no federal act like that. is there a deregulation act which says if you do the federal policy there will be free enterprise affairs? no. because all the things you mentioned have the words of state law and it. -- in it. all we have here is a group of provisions, all of which are addressing themselves to what kind of law a state may have without a clear federal policy that distinguishes between what they want states to do and what the federal government is doing. given those circumstances, it falls on the subject matter of this law is the state. that's what this is about, telling states what to do. and therefore, it falls within commandeering. a little long, but that's how i was reading. new york, it is not addressing its

west jerusalem and the state of israel is the reason for the state of palestine. we believe that the only way which to go is between the parties on the 1967 borders. there is no alternative solution that would be both viable and sustainable that would meet the expectations and address concerns. this is the position of the entire european union. this is what the foreign ministers told benjamin netanyahu. one by one. our position is of the most solid foundations. it is based of the course between israeli and palestinian leaders and on the national -- of partners know very well where we stand. and we have made it very clear. always and during this last very difficult days. as a partner and as a friend we've always been clear in our position before and after the decision. the us secretary of state together with the 28 european union state foreign ministers. we invited the united states to carefully reconsider the repercussions that this may have. of public opinion in the region and all around the world. what happens in jerusalem has global repercussions. for good and f

and this is a crucial role by the united states. we look forward to hearing the views of the administration's proposal with those extensive dialogue over the past year. at the same time over the past weeks and from that latest rocket attack against israel. that escalation of violence must be prevented and to exercise restraint the only way forward is through negotiations. >> thanks to the representative. now to the representative of ukraine. >> to be in favor of the proposal adopted by egypt. and then to be through the negotiations and with the security council resolution and with that inadmissibility and it is too well. we are strongly convinced there is no other viable alternative to the two state solution for those to engage but without current escalation to not get out of control and finally mr. president to add my voice for those incoming members of the council. thank you. >> thanks for your statement now to the representative of china. translator: china is in favor of the resolution just put to vote to be at the core of the iss

the end state, the united states new strategy is to destroy terrorist safe havens and deny their re-establishment while the afghan is trying to maintain security and create the conditionses for reconciliation with the taliban and inclusive government that accounts for the ethnic diversity of all afghans. we know this will take time. but if we fail to exercise vidge lance and undertake actions from the terrorist threat wherever it is found we risk recreating the havens from which the 9/11 plots were carried out. we urge contributions of troops, funds and other forms of assistance as we seek to eradicate a terrorist threat that will not be confined to the place where it was born. the mission is essential to our shared goal to ensure that afghanistan to contribute to regional stability and prevail over terrorist threats including al qaeda and isis. even though isis is on the brink of complete extinction in iraq and syria, the threat of isis and associated terror networks will persist in our own country and isis is looking for new footholdses in west africa. these areas do not need to become the next

that is never going to occur in the remaining caucus states unless we flip the government in the states. they will never agree to same-day registration. we are also saying same-day party registration and we're also saying absentee voting. numberot just the total of people who vote, it's what kind of people, what do they look like, are they working class, what happens to people in those states in terms of voter registration when we turn it over to the republican party to run it? that is what we're trying to protect. >> thank you. jan is next. >> i agree with larry. we're talking about small, rural state. they are faced with photo rights being eroded every day. the republican secretary of state has aggressive voter id bill. friendly, the caucuses are our needs to build the party in these small, rural states. washington state is very blue and a larger state. i understand. us, it is the party, if the only way we can build and grow our party and have an open and inclusive process. hands off, david. >> next is jeff weaver. >> i have a couple of concerns. i was under the impression we are pre-

why should the states have this autonomy the obama administration does not want them to have?. >> so to distinguish what previous states have done using the state's rights when we go out to research under the constitution and tenth amendment is because we intend to be inclusive we're not trying to separate to deny students a chance to reclaim the money forum a student loan form the for-profit university that went under or never provided a real education we are inclusive of the people to the state of california. in the '60s it was clear government's data murphy of of our affairs. federal government stay out of our hair. to have breakfast or lunch at the public counter to figure out what seat in the bus a person could take. into say federal government stay out of our hair have to retrieve the people? the approach is very different we're simply saying that we should not allow the federal government to exclude people simply because it doesn't fit the political leanings of those in government we believe the constitution is there to protect everyone equally we will use our right does

the bank of the united states and this is the second bank of the united states because as you recall, from earlier in the semester there was a first bank of the united states. 1791 alexander hamilton. pushes through congress a bank of the united states. this bank a private bank with stockholders and dividends. this bank hamilton says will benefit not only financial -- private financial interests but will benefit the country, the public, how will it benefit the public, because the treasury, the u.s. treasury, will deposit money in the bank, money coming in from taxes and the treasuries, can also borrow money from the bank. this bank has a 20-year charter but it has lots of opponents. you remember, that chief opponent, thomas jefferson, hates the bank. the bank jefferson believes is an institution that imperils american liberty by elevating to power a wealthy financial elite, nonproductive elite. jefferson opposes it and jefferson comes to power in 1800, so does his party the bank of the united states the first bank the charter expires in 1811, but one year later a war erupts with brita

the united states is no longer an honest broker of peace. we as palestinians, arabs and muslims cannot accept any more that the united states be a piece broker because one of the basic requirements for a piece broker is to be honest and neutral. neutral and not to be biased for one side or another. also when we go to the peace and security counsel when you make this decision null and void and a charter and there are provisions that enables us to present to the peace and security council in for which the united states would not be allowed to vote and we will go to the general assembly regarding the membership of israel because it's membership is not in line with international resolution. we will go to the peace and security council to consider the question of the full membership of palestine. it's the most important issue and what can the islamic present to [inaudible]. how can we [inaudible] how can we further support the position of the people? i know there is there are people who talk about normalization and the question and there are peopl

, the last state of the union. now hawaiians are still seeing we were illegally overthrown from a solemn government we had prior. how do we resolve the matter constitutionally to rebegan back hawaiian property, hawaiian rights, hawaiian lands from the state we are now a part of? >> host: sean, before you huang, are native hawaiians -- or hawaiian descended people, do they have any extra state rights at all? hawai'i? >> caller: um, yes and no. it's based on blood quantum but it's um in the air now because of the interbreeding. only one island left with pure hawaiians and the island is privately owned bay family, so we don't have any -- outside of clinton seeing, sorry, when he was president, formal apology, we have not had restitution. >> host: in response. >> guest: one of the most value things that hawaiians right now can recognize is that hawai'i is a sovereign government within the union of the constitutional republic. they nor longer a territory -- they are no longer a territory of the federal government. they

the choices we're making. and again, we don't have to wait on washington because states can lead the way. goal number six -- sustainable infrastructure, resilience, and innovation. so, target one -- 100% of roads and bridges, railways, airports, seaports and levees should be in a state of good repair. not quite these days. number 2 -- every community should have plans for resilience against natural disasters. so sorry that after harvey hit texas and you go back how many times was houston warned that it's inevitable that flooding is going to come, make a plan? and instead, we had a governor of texas that was busy suing the epa rather than making plans for his state. i think mr. abbott should just go home and apologize, frankly, but this is what we have when we don't have plans. and three, enhance the scientific research and technological capabilities. for example, higher r&d spending by states. those that are really investing in innovation are creating new enterprises and new jobs. now, here the united states is a little bit better, but we pride ourselves on being number one in the world. d

standards employed by the other states. we should not disregard these determinations, which is what the bill will do. i will point out one other thing. there are bills we see every session, some of which makes sense and some don't, to override the states standards and subsidy federal standards in a given area. that is not what this bill will do. it is an unusual bill that will use federal power to import the laws of one state into the laws of another state. it without imposing uniform law, it would simply say new jersey is governed by the law of whatever other state it may be. i don't know if any other law that imports the laws of one state into another state. although i can think of a bill -- the fugitive slave act. an imminent to this committee to address one of the concerns are just mentioned. more than half the states recognize individuals guilty of violent misdemeanors, violent misdemeanors, although not as will nots felonies allow such persons to carry concealed guns. permit the bill from forcing these days to recogniz

the united states to support the resolution 470. in his remarks, then secretary of state said the following. the draft resolution before us today is illustrated with a preoccupation that has produced a series of unbalanced and unrealistic text on middle east issues. specifically regarding the provision on diplomatic missions the secretary said in our judgment this provision is not binding on it is without force and we reject it as a disrupted attempts to dictate to other nations. it does nothing to promote a resolution of the difficult problems facing israel and its neighbors. it does nothing to advance the cause of peace. that was in 1980. it is equally true today. the united states will not be told by any country where we can put our embassy. buried even deeper in the jargon of the resolution is the accusation that the united states is setting back the prospect of peace in the middle east. that is a scandalous charge. of those who are making it should consider that it only harms the very palestinian people they claim to speak for.

agreed to the transfer to al-quds before the final state negotiations said the united states itself is doing what it had already prohibited and this is also the case of national organizations, it including the security council. we witnessed the very aggressive strong reactions from different corners of the world and this is something that cannot be denied at all. demonstrations took place all over the world. also, we heard the voices of condemnation from all societies from which members to members of the peace and security council of the 14 members of the peace and security council, of course almost then took negative positions against the united states did in this particular. there are actions at the islamic which the president had organized in no time here in istanbul and decisions will be announced. you listen to these decisions and resolutions. our position is as follows. the united states is no longer an honest broker of peace. we have palestinians, arabs and muslims cannot accept any more that the united states be a peace broker because one of the basic requirements faced to be

the u.s. move around jerusalem it was a much broader expression of outrage towards united states bullying of the un and un member states the trumpet ministration is not the first in u.s. history to do this kind of bullying some of the language was very reminiscent to similar threats and bribes and punishments that were issued by the bush administrations both both president bush's when they could not get the support they wanted for wars against iraq in one nine hundred ninety and then again in two thousand and three but the difference here was the blatant nature of it the when president trump was willing to say we don't care specifically those were his words we don't care about the impact of cutting aid on these impoverished nations if they dared to vote against the united states that's a real expression of absolute disdain for the rest of the world and i think there will be retaliation that will go beyond this particular vote speaking of the retaliation is a bit melbourne do you think that trump will be able to move forward and deliver all the threats against the nations the voted against his de

the congress? i think for states, the according to es their current situations. as we started talking through states about to preparations for the potential funding, we asked if they were planning, if they had budgeted for that. we have a number of states whose session.rs are not in so states made different ecisions and placed different bets on whether reauthorization would happen and what the level would be. funding number of states, if you find resources there would be hallenge with just having the legislative session expire and back to the legislature authorize the necessary funds to continue coverage for this population? host: senator orrin hatch gave comment about chip. going to do chip, no question, it has to be done the right way. having on chip is trouble, we don't have money anymore and just to add more and more pending and more and spending, look at the rest of the bill for more and more spending. that o you think about response? guest: again, senator hatch has been a long-time proponent of chip, he was an original co-sponsor of the legislation, at g wit

the election in a landslide. clay wins four -- or excuse me, five states. jackson takes the bulk of the states. south carolina refuses to vote for jackson in the middle of that nullification crisis. jackson wins the election. and victory for the jacksonians. this cartoon here, 1833, pretty interesting cartoon. i took -- just a little back story, when i was in gradual school, i took a digital photo course. we had to take an old photograph or black and white cartoon and use photo shop to fill it in. i thought this cartoon was interesting. it's kind of in bad shape. i took this cartoon and did that. not bad for a beginner, right? look at the imagery in this cartoon. pretty incredible. there, standing behind jackson, the common man, enthusiastically patting him on the back. the bankers, the financieres, running away in fear, the newspapers, the press, all spread out on the ground. they have been defeated. look at the demon face. oh, and look at the columns, the falling columns. what's that all about? well, if you're familiar with the gospels, you'll know that there was one time, just one time that j

of the riots of having a palestinian state with east jerusalem as a capital of the policy going to states and that america is only there with israel up this is how the situation this is the case now and we have seen that clearly we don't know yet we are here today. to. attend the emergency meeting of the out of foreign ministers holding to the. request of what joel didn't say and part of stein u.k. you know we're. not to discuss this matter and to see what can we do what will sieges in that actions can be taken by the arab countries by the arab league to be a joint house by the arab league. and this is very important. limits it will be preceded by a follow up committed to the arab peace initiative and what some decisions will be produced that's related to this. how we think that the most important motsa in this regard is what we have started yesterday at the security council we discussed the complaint submitted by the sets of palestine from regarding the trumpet decision on moving his embassy for them to live a have to do resident a well this has been the starting point that would be foll

unlike iran which is an islamic state so and it's interesting to talk about iran that the one state which refuses the two state solution is iran itself because iran thinks if we had one state palestine the jews would be marginalized they'd be a minority they'd be swamped then and we'd have situation like in lebanon or in syria and so on that's what they want so it's obvious the two state solution has to happen and that this this this fact remains whether mr trump says that jerusalem. is the capital of recognizes the jerusalem as the capital of israel or not whether anyone recognizes it or not this has to happen and will happen but it won't happen tomorrow it won't happen in a year and it won't happen in five years is a palestinian state really still feasible given that patchwork that has been created by the settlements or with the palestinians be better off at this point simply saying we want equal rights within one state i personally believe that israel has very much succeeded and killing the two state solution there is no more land any more and i personally for one truly believe in

as we were discussing earlier, the focus is on the state department. to get moving, find the site and get it under construction. >> harris: what you are bringing up is the point the president made, in 1995 congress adopted the jerusalem embassy act. this act passed congress by an overwhelming bipartisan majority and was reaffirmed by unanimous vote of the senate six months ago. to say they have the will to do it on capitol hill, i guess you could look at the voting but the proof is in the pudding, it hasn't been moved. for people who know this detail, the president will continue to sign every six months that waiver that keeps the embassy in tel aviv because you have to keep that place funded. i want to put a fine point on that because the president did it six months ago and got a lot of criticism then. this is a way of saying we can do both things, we can find one and move. >> he didn't want state department funding cut of off. they've now got the basic foundation for the move, mainly that we have finally found the capital of israel, congress could modi

i give the floor to the representative of the united states. thank you mr president i have been the proud representative of the united states at the united nations for nearly a year now this is the first time i have exercised the american right to veto a resolution in the security council. the exercise of the veto is not something the united states does often we have not done it in more than six years we do it with no joy but we do it with no reluctance the fact that this veto is being done in defense of american sovereignty and in defense of america's role in the middle east peace process is not a source of embarrassment for us it should be an embarrassment to the remainder of the security council as i pointed out when we discussed this topic ten days ago i will once again note the features of the president's announcement on jerusalem that are most relevant here the president took great care not to prejudge final status negotiations in any way including the specific boundaries of israeli sovereignty in jerusalem that remains a subject to be neg

so i want to watch the biggest counties in the state, the most populous counties in the state to compare doug jones' performance tonight with this other democrat from 2012 who came close to beating roy moore that night. in 2012 running against roy moore, bob vance won all four of the most populous counties of the state. jefferson county, madison county where huntsville is, mobile county, montgomery. bob vance won them all against roy moore in 2012 with anywhere between 52 and 71% of the vote. so in each of the counties tonight we'll be looking to see in those places is doug jones able to improve in those big populous counties, is he able to improve on that margin that that democrat got against roy moore five years ago when he almost beat roy moore? i'll tell you one lucky part of approaching this election that way is that we're told that madson county where huntsville is, that's sometimes relativelierly reporter sometimes able to turn the vote around quickly, in which case madison county may give an early indication what is going on and how roy moore is performing compared to 2012 when h

money then then the combination of all the european states put together and that really goes for the arab states as well the united states has been the biggest purveyor in the biggest cheerleader for palestinian independence and together with israel by the way have done more to advance palestinian independence that anyway than any other country in the world so the problem is that the palestinian authority is working against the will of its own people and i can tell you a somebody that's in the west bank every day talking to the palestinian people the palestinian authority are have become a cynical terrorist supporting entity that is not working towards peace and that have no interest in at this point coming to the negotiating table negotiating with israel and this is against the will of its own people and if you were here in the areas of drucilla and gone through the west bank and have real conversations with palestinian professionals you'd realize that they're all saying palestinian authority and my what about us are working against the interest of their own people and that's why you

the united states, 30,000. we are not thousands of times more mentally ill than the germans or the british or the japanese. that would be a slander on the american people. the frequency of death by guns is directly correlated, and this has been shown, by the availability of guns in society. you can say that someone has a gun, you know, law-abiding citizen with a gun will stop a person without a gun. and on occasion that -- will stop bad guy with a gun. occasionally that will be true. on occasion the good guy will shoot wrong person. i hate to see a shootout between good and bad people on a subway in new york city, for example. but speaking as a whole, there is no question that you can correlate the presence of guns in society, availability of guns in society directly with the homicide rate of guns. again, how do you explain no other country in the world has a homicide rate by gun exceeding 200, 250. and we do 30,000 a year. mr. goodlatte: if i might make two points. with regard to bump stocks. i think we're alre

solution when the state of israel and the state of palestine could live fully fledged side by side in safety. after all all of this was reflected in the corresponding decisions of the un general assembly on the security council. president in these conditions it is as important as ever before to relaunch a sensible political process targeted at achieving a final and sustainable palestinian israeli settlement on the basis of a two state solution. in this sense the middle east peace quartet remains a unique mediation mechanism i thank you and i thank the representative of the russian federation for his statement i shall now i make a statement in my capacity as a representative of. the security council has closely followed the palestinian issue in its monthly meetings i thank mr miller down off for his update and japan shares his assessment of the alarming situation surrounding the peace process. japan's position remains unchanged japan's supports a two state solution based on relevant u.n. security council resolutions the madrid principles the quoted road map the agreemen

back in the '60s using state's rights within the constitution. when we go out and assert our right as a state under the constitution and the tenth amendment to proceed in a forward-leaning manner, it's because we intend to be inclusive in the way we conduct our affairs. we're not trying to separate families simply because they're of immigrant stock. we're not trying to deny students a chance to reclaim the monies they paid for a student loan from a for-profit university that went under or never provided a real education. we're trying to be inclusive of the people of the state of california. if you take a look at some of the actions of the states previously that you have mentioned those actions in asserting state's rights was for the purpose of excluding. and of course, in the '60s it was very clear federal government stay out of our affairs. we'll decide who can attend what school or university based on color of skin. federal government stay out of our hair. well, l'l we will let our people decide who gets to sit at the lunch counter, and federal

well politics and from the united states' perspective that might make sense for the rest of us in the international community means degree of readjustment and listening and watching quite closely to what's going on from the white house smashing the old is one thing but if you smash the old you've got to replace it with something else and there is a contradiction here because mr trump says we're doing x. y. or said this is a settled foreign policy and then maybe ten or twelve weeks later we see people like rex tillerson rowing back and inverness seeing what might or might not come next so what are they replacing it with precisely replacing all policies sometimes is necessary but like you said you have to have a replacement for that particularly if you're not necessarily in a two bit banana republic but a superpower that has national interests all over the world that any statement by the president of that superpower registers nine point eight on the political director scale in most countries around the world so when you engage in foreign policy as a superpower in a vacuum in the sense t

you mention the united states does help israel and israel helps the united states. they make exchanges. that would never justify why somebody from great britain would support the bds movement, why somebody from france would. those countries do not support israel. the bds movement transcends america and applies all through europe and applies the application of a double standard to israel. that is very wrong and will never be the basis for a peaceful resolution. eric: i am going to invite you now to make a couple of inquire ies to dr. west. i will yield my time to you gentlemen. [laughter] dr. dershowitz: no, i want to hear your question i love answering questions by judges. [audience ahhh] dr. dershowitz: can you face the country thatme a faces the threats comparable to israel. rockets from gaza, terror tunnels, the use of human shields, 100,000 rockets aimed at israel, a nuclear power in iran. the president of iran said if we develop a nuclear bomb and bomb tel aviv, that is the end of the jewish state. because israel is a one bomb nation. even if they bomb tehran an

we call it the word 1812 in the united states -- the war of 1812 in the united states. in england, they collect, -- they call it, the second world war of american independence. it was still the revolution. in canada, they think of it as their birthday. they have a huge bicentennial, where we have almost nothing. everyone dresses up an old oldish uniforms -- in british uniforms, and they celebrate the birth of canada. lost,,ns won americans for them. when you are all through, none of that is true, it is the end of the american revolution. if people read my book, you can see how complicated that time was. victories of saratoga, yorktown i titled it "unshackling america," because we were still dependent on england that were holding -- that was holding us economic prisoner. 1812 truly ended the american revolution, because from that time on, we were respected. and they didn't beat us. we beat them twice. napoleon couldn't beat them, that we did. -- but we did. we need that kind of complication to understand what a long process it is when you get into american revolutionary w

the statement. when? he winsn those swing states. the big one, in this. , remains what it has always been and remains to be a swing state to this day. it is ohio. which is revealing why he wins that state. thing bigger picture, one -- one factor you have to zoom division within the ranks of the republican party. this is a continuation of the 1912 one, we saw in of course, teddy roosevelt ran a progressive party ticket. opening the door for a democrat to win -- the first democrat to win since cleveland back in the late 19th century. divisions within the republican party are key. wilson areocrats and building a coalition. this is not the new deal coalition. but there are portions of it. the self, the west are the stronghold, making inroads in the cities, immigrant immunities andicularly catholics particularly immigrants of the political machine, like you have in this city in kansas city. wilson building on that, expanding the democratic vote and wins a greater percentage of the popular vote in 1916 and he had in 1912. thatat i hear the

first, the involvement of the united states and the war with the united states. when we think of america's relationship with the first world war as being from 1917 to 1918, we are missing the main point. united states was deeply involved in this war in a variety of ways. much earlier than american entry in 1917. the other thing this poster is attempting to get across is it is part of the movement that began -- that was known as prepared ms. p but the united states should or should not do to change its own society. to change its way of thinking. in response to events with -- that were going on in europe. the question of how the united states interacted with the first world war before entry is something we have a lot of wisdom on,l half-baked ideas, but not really a lot of solid research. the book i worked on, path to war, was an attempt to do this. to understand how a large, diverse, complicated society, like the united states, was responding to the events in europe and how that response condition that only american howy in the war, but americans responded to what

make it away from this they may split china away from the united states they may split the united states away from china and continue to be at the strategic and tactical successes they have accumulated i think time is passing out and the tipping point is getting very close but china and the united states really need to get down to the same page get into the same bolt in how to come up with a clear cut a strategy and tactic in achieving this goal every two countries have to see eye to eye on this major issue richard just come back to you for a brief second if there is an overarching principle here of diluting all the issues and getting everyone into the same place on to the same page surely mr trump did not do the best thing by putting north korea on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. ok i just want to actually come back to your question to victor i thought it was really fundamental i think that was the basis of the u.s. strategy so far the assumption that at some point the chinese would recognize it was in their interest to have a unified korea or a korea with a different type of r

southern states back in the 1960s using states' rights within the constitution. when we go out and assert a a right as a state under the constitution and the tenth amendment to proceed in the forward leaning manner is because we tend to be inclusive in the way we conduct our affairs. when i try to separate families so because they are of immigrant stock. when not trying to deny students a chance to reclaim the monies they pay for a student loan from a for-profit university that went under or never provided a a real education for which i to be inclusive of the people of the state of california. it could take a look at some the actions of some of the states previously that you mentioned, those actions and asserting a states' rights was for the purpose of excluding and, of course, in the '60s it was very clear. federal government, stay out of our affairs. we will decide who can attend what skull of what university aced on color of skin. eric the state out of her hair. we will let the people of our states know who can sit at a counter and have breakfast or lunch at th

capital of the state of israel. today'so support resolution are like puppets. europe puppets pulled by the strings of your palestinian puppet masters. you're like marionettes forced to dance by the palestinian -- while the palestinian leadership looks on with glee. you are blind to the light, unaware of the manipulation surrounding you, just like a puppet. this vote, if nothing more, is a performance of dilution. know thisinians resolution is a fraud. resolutionhat this does nothing for the lives of the palestinian people. they know it will not create jobs for their people. they know it will not provide better health care for the people of ramallah or gaza. no, this resolution is nothing more than a distraction. all it will do is tear the palestinians -- tell the palestinians they can continue rejecting peace, and if you are voting for its, you are sanctioning that view. i thank those brave countries that do not support this resolution. you have not fallen prey to the puppetshow before us -- show before us. you are t

i mean given the state of the current state of international affairs. well the united states needs enemies of to put it more nicely strategic competitors. are needed for the united states to to remain on the alert and to and to be able to muster enough resources to maintain the d. i thing china and russia understand this and this is also well recognized by many americans including the former secretary of state madeline albright or donald trump and ministration it is less concerned with human rights issues it made a lot more in words but in this first defense budget it has increase of expenditure about almost ten percent and it is certainly very eager to secure economic concessions from is major trading partners meaning more jobs for the americans. less trade deficit more investment from going into the united states keeping the u.s. dollar. weak and so on and also looking specifically well i mean what do you make of china's role in trump's national security plan. well. donald trump administration like most americans certainly consider the certainly consid

jerusalem is the capital of the state of israel something the united states congress has reaffirmed in the fact of history that cannot be tonight . i support the decision to recognize jerusalem as the eternal capital of israel and to move the u.s. embassy that this decision is long overdue and help correct a decades long indignity there may be benefits for him personally he may be. tipping his hat to his base and saying you know this is a campaign promise that i made it's the same as what he's going to a lot of areas he's pushed much much further than where the public wants to go or what is in the interest of the united states and that's that's the hallmark of the trump. you know. i think that's the real reason he sees it more important for his personal legacy for his supporters to do this regardless of its effect on world opinion regardless of its effect on the united states and the world opinion and regardless of its effect on the palestinian. people the world is not happy with the move america is not happy with the move but donald trump thinks it's terrific a year ago at his inaugur

enforceable in the other state. in addition, i'm deeply disappointed that the version of this bill before us today includes the bipartisan fix nics act, a measure that should be enacted as a stand-alone bill without delay and that was supported by the judiciary committee. that bill would address shortcomings with the national criminal background system. as the recent mass chooting at the church in texas illustrates, we must ensure all relevant records are submitted to the data bases. no one should pass a background check that he or she should have iled was not included in the system. there is broad bipartisan support for the fix nics bill here in the house ap the senate. that proposal which would actually save lives should not be intelligentered to the reciprocity provisions of this bill which would serve to endanger our citizens. he answer is not having people carrying concealed permits. on some other countries, this figure barely exceeds 100. in 2011, the united kingdom had 146 deaths, denmark, 71. japan, just 30,
