He does not believe he can negotiate these issues because you make the point that resonates why should we give up the west bank in return for something that is less that leaves these issues open and festering . So he goes to the un. That question you have to ask yourself a strategy for the palestinian issue that leaves the Democratic State state, what has to be the prime is really interest in a deal with the palestinians . Is it getting them to renounce the hard help position like right of return and the temple mount or is it getting it out of the west bank with Adequate Security provisions . If the latter i think it is possible with american help perhaps in the International Arena but maybe bilateral to make progress of a twostate solution to leave the heavy narrative issues like the temple mount 3,000 years old to leave them for the future that this is the only chance i see today. And frankly you have not been oriented in this directi
Tell us where they are today. The republicans, yeah. The republicans had 179 seats at the beginning of the obama administration. They are up to, if you look at current leads at 251, some of those leads may evaporate as california in particular takes a long time to vote to count its votes. They theyve taken as long as five weeks. A week ago sunday, brazil tabulates the votes in five hours. In california, which believes itself to be a more advanced state takes five weeks.

Its, you know, part of this is baked into the cake by demographics. You know, in 2016, 2012, mitt romney who many of you will remember carried 226 house districts, carried a majo
You want to ask a particular participant, please identify who you want to answer your question. We did hear the presumed leader do you support Mitch Mcconnell . Do you think there should be another option . I have been around the bases enough times to know that that will be made by the respective cocked respective caucuses. Agendalan to articulate and to establish the expectations of what we expect to get done. That is our goal and our objective. Then leave it to the majority of the republicans who are in the senate and in the house to pick their leaders. This is not about personality, it never has been. If senator mcconnell does what he pledged to do, we are going to be thrilled. We will throw everything behind us if he does what he campaigned on. Government funding runs out on december 11 and in a conference earlier it was asked if obama care should be defunded in any new spending bill that comes up in the lame duck or if efforts should be made in january. Obviously you all want a fo
Because given the speed and complexity of the challenges were talking in cyber, thats where weve got to get. We have to work our way through how we do that in the u. S. Department of Homeland Security which plays a central role here. Our capabilities support them and other u. S. Government support partners in attempts to do that. On that topic as a journalist, ive asked the nsa whether my Cell Phone Communications have been monitored in any way because i submitted through proper channels, i got a response we appealed. And we got a stock response which others have gotten. Im a journalist, i lived overseas a lot of the time. As part of my work, i spoke to people who i would imagine you might want to listen to, some in the terror community, et cetera. As a lawabiding american, why wont the nsa tell me if theyve looked at my phone communications . First youre asking me directly. I dont know. But its a policy because they told others the same thing.
