Ferguson itself, they have two humvees from this program. A lot of the stuff is not u. S. Military equipment. Point number two, 95 of the property transferred to local Law Enforcement through this program is not tactical. It is not weapons. It is shelving, office equipment, communications gear, that kind of thing. I think it is important to keep this thing in perspective. When the secretary wants to be he wants to be, as he looks at this program, he wants to make sure we are striking the right balance. That the rate residence is being transferred. That the accountability is in place. He is also mindful that it is not a good place for the pentagon to be holding sticks out to Law Enforcement.

Partsts and the wonderful of chicago and it is the best city on the planet, by the way there are still people dying in the more isolated neighborhoods.

Country to protect all of the other freedoms that we enjoy. [applause] this is a time where conservatives need to focus on how we will lead america. Not just how we will lead each other. Too much is at stake. The future of our country, the future for our children and grandchildren is far too important for us to spend our time fighting with each other with the real battle is not a fight against liberals or democrats, it is a fight for the soul and future of this great republic. This is a fight for which all of us must know we have to engage. We must do it now. If this one thing i know, my time is up. Thank you and god bless you.
