i appreciate their unwaiverring support through good times and bad.nk the people of illinois for their vote and thr this extraordinary victory. thank you so much. [cheers and applause] >> and you know, elections are about choices. and today, hundreds of thousands of people in illinois have joined millions of people across the country to join our cause. and this movement began on a small farm in new hampshire on a sunny june day. we were surrounded by a small group of friends and some supporters and family. we shared a conviction that the america we loved was in trouble and adrift without strong leadership. and three years of barack obama have brought us fewer jobs and shrinking paychecks that many of us believe we were in danger of losing something more than the value of our homes and 401(k)s, after years of too many apologies and not enough job, historic drops in income and historic rises in gas price, a president who doesn't hesitate to use all the means necessary to force obamacare on the american public and leads from behind in the world. alternat

you would be amazed at their intelligence, dedication, their almost unwaivering devotion to duty. it is just remarkable. now the problem is the popular opinion that we get from the media is, you know, you've got marlon brando in "apocalypse now." you get all these stupid representations of the military. they make jokes, military intelligence is an oxymoron. it is the most competitive branches you can get in. if you get into the military, you have to work hard or you are out. up or out. very few professions, even the medical profession is evaluated as often as military people. military pilots get three or four check flights a year, a surprise check flight. you constantly have to show you know the war plan. you have to know the systems backwards and forward. it is intensely demanding, but the image is it is not. if you could get a corporate recruiter to go in he would hire every guy from generals on down because they are product if. the new high-tech systems worked well with the legacy system. legacy is a buzz word. i'm sort of a legacy system myself. it means old. they did work wel

he called iran an evil, morally corrupt regime and he called the president's support of israel, unwaiverringwhen you mention options, do you expect the president to talk about the options that he is offering, when he says all options will remain on the table? >> he might. he has offered increased sanctions, which we have stepped up several times, in partnership with the united nations and other western allies, he talked about diplomacy and he may mention that again. there is certainly nothing wrong with macking the effort to see if iran might back down. but that you can only go so far. we will see what he says along those lines because many say we have gone too far already and you simply can't allow iran to get away with talking and bluffing and biding their time, while they continue to enrich more uranium and get closer and closer as every day goes by to possibly building a nuclear weapon. so there is tension in the world, between israel iran and the u.s. and iran. now we are hearing, of course, as both sides would like you to believe, there is no daylight between the u.s. and if israel, we
