Appreciate it. Please. Jay and i go back many, many years. Thank you so much, j. I also just want to say what an honor it is to follow my dear friend, our Vice President mike pence. Isnt he doing a great job . [applause] together we are working on a bold agenda for the country, regulatory reform, health care reform, tax reform, rebuilding a military. After years of talking about these problems, we are finally doing something about them. But i do not viewed as a sort of a simple checklist for government or just turning the page in the policies of the recent past. This is much deeper than that. Its much bigger than that. It goes back to something i talk about right when i became speaker. Its something that is as relevant today as ever. It is about building a confident america, an america where people are confident that they can get a job that pays well in an economy that is growing. An america where people are confident that their children will grow up with a Real Security and opportunit
The rug out from under them that isnt really too shocking coming from speakinger ryan. Simple majority votes in the house before taxes go to the senate. To make them permanent in the senate you need 60 votes or more. This would not be done if he had his druthers if he had budget being sill ages. Is he sending a signal in order for Lasting Impact and value, and if he truly wants them to be permanent, then going the budget reconciliation route, will only require simple majority in the United States will not be enough. You will have to go to get a 60vote win, a 6vote margin allows permanent tax reform. Aa to president bushs tax cuts. They sunsetted after about 10 years. Now the question is, is he sending a signal both to the administration and to his colleagues in the senate, we can not afford to do that. Tax cuts are one thing, we have to welcome them, but we have to go for something much bigger that would involve going past budget reconciliation to something getting 60 votes in the sena
Visitors like otto warmbier. It is no surprise that north korea is determined to deploy ballistic weapons technology. The United Nations has passed good Security Council resolutions on north korea, spurred by u. S. Legislation that we passed in this committee. U. N. Peace keeping has played a Critical Role over the years in advancing u. S. Interests and should be prioritized in accordance with u. S. Law. The recent deaths of peace keepers in south sudan and in mali remind us of the dangers they face. But Peace Keeping would find more support if failing missions, some decades old were closed and the horrendous sexual abuses tackled head on. This committee has pushed to improve the u. N. s transparency and accountability, advancing protections of whistle blowers and bringing u. N. Peace keepers that are sexual predators to the bar of justice. Ambassador haley we look forward to how we can support you working to improve transparency and accountability. This committee looks forward to assi
Will come to order. Today we consider the role of the United States at the United Nations. In her first few months Ambassador Nikki Haley has approached her job with determination and purpose, chairing the u. N. Security council in april she spotlighted the grave Security Council north korea and Nuclear Proliferation and the threats it poses to us. She has cast gated iran and hezbollah for their role in sewing instability across the middle east. Ambassador hailey made it clear that the u. N. s record of protecting dictators cannot stand. Indeed, as ambassador hailey declared the United States role at the u. N. Is to show our strength, show our voice and have the backs of our allies. I think thats wellsaid, ambassador. The United Nations is charged with the Ambitious Mission to maintain International Peace and security and to achieve International Cooperation in solving International Problems. But unfortunately the organization all too often falls short. U. N. Organizations continuously
