Sanction veto any further sanctions against iran. The white house has criticized this for doing this without consulting them calling it a diplomatic reach of protocol. Deputy secretary of state tony lincolnblinken discussed the ongoing state with iran. We are here to ask you to please not negotiate with more sanctions on iran. Ranking member menendez, we employed to keep the peace. [indiscernible] [indiscernible] we want no new sanctions. The people of california want not new sanctions. Im going to call the meeting to order. I would say to people in the audience that we would appreciate you refraining. We understand people have strong emotions about much of what happens in this committee and others and we hope youll respect the work of the committee. I have never operated a gavel. I learned as a young man how to operate a hammer. I understand my staff told me to be a little more gentle with this, but i want to welcome everybody to the committee. Weve switched sides. That was not symbol
Well. What we have a historic opportunity to peacefully achieve this goal. And to me it seems like youve got to give this diplomacy a chance to work. I think its only common sense as president obama said war , should be a last resort not a first resort and a peaceful end to Irans Nuclear program, i believe, is in the best interests of america, and in the best interests of our great ally israel. And that is why im concerned, and its not partisan. I have a concern that reaches across party lines that some colleagues are pushing to enact new sanctions while our negotiators are still at the table. I dont believe that strengthens us. Doesnt strengthen our position at all, and these negotiations are going on right now. In fact i think if we enacted that legislation we would jeopardize a chance, a once in a lifetime perhaps chance of having a far reaching final comprehensive agreement, which we know is going to be hard. Our own president has said its a 50 50 chance. Hes not you know, wearing
The problem with this is the Vice President is a better speaker. Cant upstage the candidate. Has been it has been an honor. Lets give a round of applause for governor jeb bush. [applause] andrew keen, the author of the internet is not the answer on Internet Companies and how they make profit. In the old days, people went to the factory to work, they went home, and they had money in the pockets. These days, were all working for the internet, and we are not paid. It is not a knowledge that we are working for them. Worse than that, then we are being packaged up as the product. What the companies are doing is learning more about our behavior from what weve published, what we buy, what we say, we dont say. They are learning about us. And they are transforming us, and repackaging us as the product. Not only are we working for free, but that we are being sold. It is the ultimate scam. Tonight at 8 00 eastern on c span q a. Here are a few of the comments we recently received on the state of th
Handson experience in some case wes businesses who are partnering with the Community College and now that High School Student has gotten a head start on moving into the career and theyre also saving money in the process. If its a student who wants to go to a fouryear university but they dont have the money to say, come right away to Cleveland State, even though Cleveland State is a pretty good place relative to a lot of other schools. Go to a Community College first, but make sure that theyre getting up front the kind of counseling that they need so that theyre taking the credits that are transferable in the fields that they need so that theyre not wasting time in the Community College taking out pell grants and loans and then they get to the fouryear university and then they have to start all over again. In each of these cases by us linking businesses, fouryear institutions Community Colleges, high schools we can create a series of pathways of success and it can be life long and the g
Stagnation. Thats what they said, that that he recognized people were working hard but feeling like they werent getting ahead. Thats what they said. Problem is that their budget makes it much harder on working families around the country. In fact, it will make life more difficult. It will make it harder for people to get ahead. And i think it is important to look at what it actually does. One of the things it does is greenlights, paves the way, for the romneyryan tax cut plan for the very wealthy. Again, that plan would drop the top tax rates for millionaires by a full onethird. So if youre already doing great, the republican budget is good for you. But everybody else gets those tax breaks at the expense of everybody else in the country. And the groups who are represented here today know what the impact will be. So it actually raises taxes on working families. They get rid of the Higher Education tax credit all together. Gone. They get rid of the bumpup for the Child Tax Credit. They g
