About that but i dont think it serves in great purpose here today. So what i will do is ask o to be on the record for that and your sons service and thats what makes america great. I have a commitment that we will follow through with weapons. Well, as i said, we are deeply committed. The kurds are essential partners in this. We have enormous respect for the courage they have shown and fight she have taken to isil. And we are aiming for success, congressman. Believe me, the president is deeply committed to this effort. One theng i would say after the list of mistakes is i honestly cant think of a president who has taken more risks and put more on the line to fight the continued struggle against terrorism specifically. His efforts in afghanistan, his efforts in pakistan, efforts in yemen, efforts in mali, efforts in libya. You can run the list. Mr. Secretary, one final question, yes or no, is america at war . Well, you know, im going to answer that mr. Chairman. But you know, a lot of pe
But note the distinction between that and this. Polls closed in virginia at 7 00 p. M. Democrats thought this was going to be gift wrapped and done. It is not. The race for Virginia Governor too close to call. More on that after this. Too close to call as well North Carolina senate. Senator hagan trying to get back to the u. S. Senate. Colorado senate, closely watched as senator udall wants to repeat as incumbent. Too close. Kansas senate, another of the big ones at this hour, too close to call. Will kansas send an independent to the United States senate . Georgia senate, too early to call tonight. In louisiana, you might as well set your clock for december. This is headed for a runoff. No one has gathered 50 . The democratic incoumbenincumbe landrieu, will have to wait. A projected winner in montana for senate, this is a gop pickup. They had to flip six tonight or at some point before the next congress to gain control. This was an early result. Mitch mcconnell, the gop leader in the s
Brown, even though registered democrats in maryland outnumber republicans 21. Early on, polls show brown leading by double digits. Lets listen to what he is saying about the stunning upset. That was nothing compared to the challenges that lie ahead. Weve got a lot of work to do. Our state economy is in real trouble. We focused on that for years. Now weve got to roll up our sleeves and get to work on trying to turn our state around. And were going to do that, as weve said, forever in a bipartisan fashion. Doesnt matter to me if somebodys a republican or a democrat. Im going to be the governor for all marylanders. Were going to put together a bipartisan administration. Were going to work as closely as we can with the people on both sides of the aisle. As weve committed to do throughout this entire campaign. I was pleased to receive a very gracious phone call this morning from governor omalley who pledged his full cooperation in the transfer of power and in the transition. He invited my w
Maryland. Rolling right along. Same thing. No issues beltway at river road. Its going to look a little different as the morning progresses. Pennsylvania avenue, branch, 301, end yann head highway, everything looking quite nice. A wider look at things. No real problems. Moving slowly. Im back in 10 minutes. Melissa, thank you. It is 5 01. The morning after election day, looking at a major upset in a race thats too close to call. The upset came in maryland where voters elected larry hogan. In the district, Muriel Bowser will be your next mayor. And in virginia the senate race is too close to call. They are separated by 12,000 votes. The stunning upset in maryland. Youre talking about the victory on facebook and twitter. Were learning more about how larry hogan won the state of maryland. Just the seventh republican governor or will be since 1776. Polls said that he trailed Anthony Brown by double digits. We caught up with him at his Victory Party in annapolis where the race was called. Th
That could have as much effect as mr. Cummings just said on future generations. Yet how little attention it gets when we actually do our job. Especially on a subject like there. I think it is appropriate at times that we all rightfully argue about how big or small the federal government should be. But i think we all share a common belief that whatever side the government should be, the dollars that we spend, we need to make sure are spent wisely. And one of the things i want to again commend you and the Ranking Member on, as a former governor, often the difference between a governor and legislator was a legislator thought the job was over once the bill was passed when in actual ality, it is the implementation is where the rubber hits the road. And hearing what both of you have said and i know my friend senator portman shares this as well, we will keep common cause to make sure that implementation takes place in a timely, effective and efficient manner. As we went into some of the last
