of the united states. the third thing we need to do is restore america's leadership in the world. you know, for six years we have seen the consequences of the obama/clinton foreign policy. leading from behind is a manifest disaster. over the last six years america has receded from leadership in the world. we have abandoned our friends and allies and our enemies no longer fear us. you cannot win a war on radical islamic terrorism with a president who is unwilling to utter the words, radical islamic terrorism. you know, just a few weeks ago following the horrific terrorist attack in paris, president obama described that attack as a, quote, random act of violence. when a radical islamist goes into a kosher deli with a meat cleaver seeking to murder jews because of their jewish faith there's nothing random about it whatsoever. likewise, just a few weeks ago when 21 christians in egypt were beheaded, the white house said 21 citizens had been murdered because of their egyptian citizenship. they weren't murdered because they were egyptian. they were murdered because of their christian fai

of america. and that is why today i am announcing that i'm running for president of the united states.

how do you do that on the campus of ou how do you do that in the united states of america? and in the united states of america, it starts by all of us collectively taking one big step and that's a commitment to listening, a commitment to you know, accepting that a lot of us cannot understand cannot fathom the struggles and problems of the black community in living as a minority community here. and understanding that you know a lot of times we cannot understand that but by listening, by acknowledging these problems and by being advocates for change and trying to make a more tolerant, more inclusive campus collaborating together with a variety of viewpoints to make those changes, that's how i think we can move forward as a campus and as a country. >> student body president at university offof oklahoma. >>> up next the letter sent to iran from 47 gop senators. and some republicans who signed on now say it was a bad idea. senior political editor mark murray next. introducing preferred rewards from bank of america the new banking rewards program that rewards our customers, every

i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the nations which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, for liberty and justice for all. please be seated. thank you, and welcome to this incredible full-scale replica of the united states senate chamber . along with the rest of my colleagues here, it is good to be almost home. this replica looks like the actual senate chamber, and it feels like the real one with reverend admiral black opening us, and once again sitting in front of the senate parliamentarian who i looked to for guidance for so many years. there is a tradition in the senate. it is that the presiding officer, the senate pro tempore, the most senior member, does not preside all of the time. the majority party supplies folks on an hourly basis for you students to preside in the president's chair, and having been number 100 in senority, i remove her how i realized i would be absolutely totally lost but not for the fact this gentleman here to my right was sitting in front of me, telling exactly what to do when i presided, and even then, i thought

here are the three numbers: 10% of high school graduates in the united states of america go to for-profit colleges. when you think of for-profit colleges think of university of phoenix devry kaplan -- for-profit clenls colleges, there are a lot of them. 10% of high school students go to these schools. these scoocialtion the for-profit schools receive 20% of federal aid to education. why do they get so much if they only have 10% of the students? they charge so much. their tuition goes through the roof. 10% of the students 20% of the federal aid to education. but here's the number i don't want you to forget: 46. 46% of all student loan defaults are students of for-profit schools. what does that tell you? it tells you these students are getting in over their head. they're borrowing too much money. it tells you these students end up dropping out and unable to pay their loans or end up with a worthlessworthless diploma and can't find a job. how can the united states senate stand back and say, this is acceptable? for-profit colleges are the most heavily subsidized private companies in america t

really natural from time to time even among the closest of allies because there are important differences between america and israel. the united states one of the smallest. america lives in one of the world's safest neighborhoods. israel lives in the world must change this. america is the strongest power in the world. israel is strong that it's much more vulnerable. american leaders worry about the security of their country. israeli leaders worry about the survival of their country. [applause] i think that encapsulates the difference. i've been kind mr. of israel for nine years. there's not a single day not one day that i didn't think about the survival of my country and the actions that i take to ensure that survival not one day. [applause] and because of these differences america and israel have had some serious disagreements over the course of our friendship. it started with at the beginning. in 1948, secretary of state george marshall opposed the intention to declare statehood. he vehemently opposed it. but understanding what was at stake he went ahead and declared the independence. in 1967, as the noose was tightening around the
