This. Id like to open it up to questions. I know we have, again theres a lot of interest we have several issues and a lot of them are interconnected as we saw. Who is first . I under how important is the popes science background to the development of his ideas . I know hes got degrees in chemistry . Actually the vatican has held several conferences on science to help educate both the staff. And i think its very interesting in the encyclical, he speaks to the importance of having a dialogue with science. And, you know, i think theres a misperception sometimes borne from a lengthy history that the Catholic Church is somehow hostile towards science. I think thats really an outdated perception. Engagement with the Scientific Community has been very strong, not just on Climate Change. The encyclical talks about gmos. In a very nuanced and interesting way that talked about technology.

Testify. Mr. Graham i wont mention the candidate that is not here. Is there any scenario you think if your generals and advisors are saying maybe we should have gone earlier, if we go in places in syria, we can knock isis back. If you know about this, is that a smart thing to do . Why arent we doing it if it is . Mr. Graham you have a weak president that is more worried about Campaign Promises than dealing with the threats to our country. He was told by all of his commanders, dont leave iraq without a 10,000 residual force behind. John mccain and i begged him not to. Everything we said has happened. It is hard, democracy is hard. Look how hard it is for us. You expect these people to get everything right in 10 or 15 years . It wont happen. He was told by all of his advisors, you need to help the Free Syrian Army while assad is on the rope, a nofly zone. He said no thank you. He said isil is the j. V. Teal.
