Construction, i know about recruiting companies in plants. Thats exactly what i would do in Eastern Kentucky and western kentucky. We have to diversify the economy. If you were asked to serve on a u. S. Senate, create jobs, steady committee targeted for and about kentucky jobs, give me one recommendation that you would mick to put people to work in eastern and western kentucky . I would work to put another toyota in Eastern Kentucky and one in western kentucky. I was there before toyota came to kentucky. I was in japan. I spent more than i quit counting after i had been to japan more than 35 times. Thats just an example. There are plenty of opportunities for us but we have to focus on kentucky rather than focus on running for president. Now, the senator has focused on running for president for the last five years and not focused on kentucky and the challenges that we have right here in kentucky. Senator paul, comment on that as well as on the jobs program that you if you were on the sa
Minister, and to rose hudson wilkins, our wonderful chaplain, for accompanying me to the vigil for jo last friday. At the priestly statute in the center of that lovely town. We, all of us, were moved by the energy and warmth of the crowd brought together in grief and solidarity. Ive been very moved when the public outpourings since her death. The hundreds of letters and emails weve all received in solidarity with joes family in their hour of grief. And by the outpouring of charitable donations to causes close to her heart, hope not hate, and the royal voluntary services. Last night my honorable friend the member for south and myself held a vigil outside our townhall. One of hundreds of vigils attended by tens of thousands of people the right across our land who are so shocked i what happened, and what to express that shock and grief. Also what you think of the parties in this house who offered their sympathy and support at this very difficult time. We united in grief at her loss, and w

And that is terrorists are radicalizing americans. Time after time now we have seen more than a dozen terrorist attacks on american soil in the last seven years. Unfortunately some people around this town want to take advantage of that as an opportunity to talk about gun control. Taking away rights of lawabiding citizens, mr. Speaker, instead of focusing on the problem. They dont just use guns. They use pressure cookers, they use pipe bombs, they use axes, the internet to recruit americans. And its time we put a sharper focus on solving this problem and addressing the fact that americans are being radicalized and taking out, carrying out terrorist attacks here in the United States. Its going to continue until there is a sharper focus. This package of bills puts the focus where it needs to be. Its time for the president to join with us, to actually speak out in getting more tools to our intelligence agencies to go and do a better job of rooting out the attacks that are here on our home
Congress has the exclusive seat of law making power. Not some guy in the basement of the labor department. We must assert that the people speaking through their elected representatives is the best way to keep us free and protect our liberty and to make sure the promise of america exists for the next generation. What youll find throughout history is that not much has changed. The same historic reoccurring struggle between freedom and power that the abraham lincolns, the john quincy adams, the Daniel Websters all faced. Its the struggle between fulfilling the promise of america or breaking it. They knew the torch one day would be passed, where it resides with us. A daughter of a cherry farmer from kettle falls, washington. A nurse from tennessee. A businessman from texas. An air force chaplain from georgia. An author from utah. A combat surgeon from ohio. It is about this generations responsibility right now to cherish, to embrace, to protect the fragile, carefully crafted american promi
