we will also send the very powerful message to our allies that the united states of america is living up toth commitments. you know, mr. speaker, it is utterly shameful, utterly shameful that we have forced three close friends of the united states, two of our own neighbors right here in the americas and one in an extraordinarily strategic region to wait for four long years. our friends and allies who negotiated with us to wait as long as they have. mr. speaker, one of the things we observed is that the world has taken note. our would-be negotiators, not only on trade agreements but on other issues as well, our would-be trade partners and negotiating partners, as i said, on issues beyond trade have taken note. i don't believe that our credibility will be immediately restored with the passage of these free trade agreements. but, mr. speaker, we will at least begin the process, we'll begin the process of demonstrating credibility on the part of the united states. we will signal that the u.s. is recommitting itself to its partnerships that our word at the negotiating table can be trusted.

this is one of the best poris the united states of america have tell. earlier this year, the congressional research service issued a report that says the united states of america is the number one energy resource rich nation in the world. d has given us such a tremendous gift. if we legalize american energy pruction, which i have been advocating do not my time in congress, we will create very quickly 1.4 million high-paying jobs. we will increase domestic energy supplies 50%. that will bring $800 billion into the united states treasury. we have more oil in three western states than all of the oil in saudi arabia. we have 25% of all the coal in the world. we have some of the largest fines of natural gas found recently in pennsylvania. solar, wind, biofuel -- we have it all. i want to legalizit all. i also want to change the epa and get rid of the epa. we have 50 at the state level. i want to get rid of it so we can open up american energy production and be the leader in the world.

calls upon the united states of america and the countries that are voting in our favor to reconsider their position let me just ask you so that all really there were political motives behind the membership of unesco rather than cultural ones do you really mean and believe that this success with that does indeed strengthen the bid for palestine's statehood. indeed has been more or less for size but it has been a scenario that's been long considered all the way through as a proprietary measure for a bigger about them to come around that battle is going to take place and taking place of the security council so in view this is a rehearsal and that her sort of hybrid mini could with excellent victoriously work needs to be done now is not always refer to the diplomatic corps but rather to convince those who have opposed the palestinian motion of this going to the council to reconsider and to look for the future of the stability of the reason where you have to be based on the on justice being served to the palestinians and on the end of occupation without the sustainability of the suit or th

well i think some of the issues to look at here you kind of get the united states of america celebrating the arab spring going into the square in egypt and shaking the hands of demonstrators so you can democracy while banning palestinians from having that on democracy on their own independence that's. totally unacceptable what's also to this is the fact that the united states of america has in the past threatened the palestinian authority that it would cut aid now we hear the foreign secretary secretary clinton is calling upon congress to reconsider this position i certainly hope that the american administration would reconsider this issue or for financial sort of it will not be off and the palestinian and the international intention to consolidate palestinian independence will not be subject to an order. to hold by such threats if anything it has to be total indorsement now lose an international voice added to the palestinian voice and i think this voice ought to be addressed and addressed carefully otherwise this this strip of land this piece of land in the middle east will continue to

[cheers and applause] >> wonderful, thank you, thank you very much. thank you for being here today because this is a day that we have an opportunity to explain 9-9-9 without six attacks at one time. if you know what i mean. some people have asked me how did you come up with this? what do you know about economics? earlier in my career when i was at the pillsbury company, one of my jobs at one point of director of business analysis where i oversaw economic analysis for the pillsbury company. some people think that's just pepperoni between these two ears, but i used to work on economic analysis. in the early 1990s, i was asked to serve on commission with jack kemp, the economic growth and tax reform commission. we started the fair tax, the flat tax, and came to some wonderful conclusions about what a good tax structure ought to be. let me introduce before i go any further my senior economic adviser, the co-architect of 9-9-9, mr. rich

i've said if you mess with israel, you are messing with the united states of america. ly, i believe that there are some things we can do this administration is not doing in order to show strength, instead of weakness as far as upgrading some of our ballistic missile defense systems that we have, which we have a great advantage in the world, i think we ought to make that advantage bigger. >> what's the biggest foreign threat to america? what country or region right now? >> the biggest threat to the united states of america is the unknown. not what we know, but what we don't know. in terms of a specific country, i would have to say iran and north korea. they are very volatile and very unpredictable, which gets back to the unknown. and relative to iran, what i would do, we already know that iran is not going to do what we want them to do. so, my approach is quite simple. these ballistic missile defense systems that i talked about earlier, i believe we need to invest and upgrade those systems so they can detect ballistic missiles from launch to impact and that gives us more

united states at all. president barack obama nurtures a hatred for the united states of america and the white man. oups like planned parenthood. they're subverting morality. liberals in the united states of america hate the declaration of independence. counterfeit religions, alternative religions to christianity have no first amendment right to the free exercise of religion. permits, in my judgment, should not be granted to build even one more mosque in the united states of america. not one. ladies and gentlemen, we are going to have to choose as a nation between the homosexual agenda and freedom. because the two cannot co-exist. >> that last bit about the homosexual agenda being at odds with freedom, that came from brian fisher's speech at last year's values voter summit. this year's scheduled lineup, again, lists mitt romney followed immediately by brian fisher. that is particularly awkward this year because not only has brian fisher been outlandishly all caps bigoted against every other group in america you can think of, but as the folks at "right wing watch" have been pointing out, fisher is bi

well first of all i think it's wrong to talk about the united states of europe because that leads to a comparison of the united states of america which is a wrong analogy many respects the european union comes from a completely different kind of development and i think you know we've done are not doing anybody a favor just trying to make superficial comparisons with united states of america fiscal union yes but the question is obviously what it what it means and obviously fiscal union is not a matter of now no tomorrow yes it is also a matter of development and evolution in this i think i think it's absolutely important as the other speakers have also stressed that we have a more public debate and take the people with us and that has been has been neglected over recent decades i have to say about i think that's a trajectory that's going to you know it's going to happen and the other thing is i think you already pointed to a very important for the and that's going to actually open in the european union it's the e.u. seventeen plus the e.u. ten and the city of london versus banking regulation it's going to be one of the big probl

the united states of america, we compete with other countries. why do we have one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world? do you know what that does? it makes us indeed not as competitive with a country that does not have that high tax burden on those businesses. canada comes into iowa. they are coming into iowa and talking to their businesses about coming to canada because we have a lower corporate tax rate. this is pretty simple. i do believe that states should make the decision on their own. if you do not want to compete for jobs, if you do not want to have a lower tax burden, a regulatory climate at a certain level, if you do not want that to have a legal system with protection from guerrillas lawsuits, that ought to be your call. but when the neighboring governor comes over to ask you to come to that state because you are going to be able to keep more of your money, that is how it is supposed to work. here is the reason why. when my neighbor bobby, who is a great competitor, or suzy in new mexico, when they lower their tax burden, i

of the united states. the president of united states has unleased his campaign strategy already, to divide america. tell americans who are scared right now, he was to tell them that of pie is only so big, and if you want more, we have to take it from others. i know that mitt romney believes that the american pie can be bigger, that can be an infinite size because of the infinite size of american i ingenuity and effort and character. that is what this election will be about. the american people will decide that they want to believe an american optimism over american division, that they believe in someone who believes america's future can be greater, not someone who is trying to divide an ever shrinking pie among the american people. it has really been in the end an easy decision for me. i know that america needs a new course and i wanted to be with a person who i believe will be the best person to lead america on that course, and that as governor mitt romney. i am so pleased to be here. hindemith, thank you very much. >> thank you. thank you, chris. let me turn to questions that you have.

and when the united states of america does nothing, we lose market share. since the five years that this agreement was negotiated, five years ago, colombians purchased 60% of their wheat from united states farmers. today that number is 30%. it's costing jobs, and it's costing opportunities here in our country, in manufacturing in my home area, caterpillar, one of the major manufacturers of our country, employs a lot of high wage, union jobs, manufacturing jobs, eight out of 10 of the tractors built in my district are sent to customers around the world with only 5% of the world's population in this country, it takes a pretty defeatist mentality to believe our country would be better off not selling to the other 95% of the world. mr. speaker, today the house of representatives will pass a jobs bill. a jobs bill that can pass the house a jobs bill that can pass the senate and a jobs bill, mr. speaker, that the president of the united states has already said he'll sign into law. this jobs bill, mr. speaker, does not require a tax increase. it does not require us

situation is that busts of american presidents made in a museum owned by the people of the united states of america, talking about the history and culture of america, are made in china. that's just one example of how pathetic this whole situation is. and on and on it goes. by the way, mr. president, when we talk about trade, we often focus on blue-collar jobs, on manufacturing jobs, but it is also increasingly information technology jobs and white-collar jobs. just think for a moment, mr. president, that during the past four years, the cumulative trade deficit with china in advanced technology -- i'm not talking about sneakers -- advanced technology products totaled more than $300 billion. last year, our trade deficit with china on advanced technology products was a staggering $92 billion in one year alone. i just bought one of these very nice iphones. it is very, very nice. do you know where that product is made? and the ipad is made in china and the ipod and dell computers and xbox and big-screen tv's. none of these american inventions. we pride ourselves. steve jobs just recently passed away. gr
