Building bombers on the assembly line, today theyre building rail cars, improving traffic and creating jobs where they live. Thats just the start. We passed the nations largest housing initiative. We have the highest graduation rate. Thank you, i know have the distinct honor welcoming to the stage someone who has always stayed true to his ideas and values and learned to adapt to a changed political landscape. Hes stayed a proud progressive. Former democratic leader, cap chairman of the board and my friend, senator tom daschle. Please join me in welcoming him to the stage. [ applause ] thank you very much. For that kind of introduction. I know better to compete with clearing tables. Let me say what a fantastic day this has been. We have heard inspiring speeches. We have heard some thoughtful conversations. And we gather at an important time. A time when i think our country is facing one of the most challenging moments in all of our history. A time when the pillars of our very democratic
Seen anyone this morning. As weve been talking with Homeless People over the past couple of days since that mandate was announced a lot of them say they are resisting it. Even with the frigid freezing air chill i have on a sweater. A layer dress and im not cold at all. Gino neil remains determined to sleep on the street. Many adamant they will not stay in city shelters despite governor comos mandate they be brought to shelters when temperatures dip blow freezing. Heavens no. Why not . Theyre dirty. Jumped several times, had everything stolen. Very, very dangerous. From their point of view its safer to stay on a train or in a subway station where its warm because the shelters are more dangerous. Some of the push back but said the state will do its part to ensure its safety. If shelters are not up to code then we are going to be very diligent in our inspection and management of the existing shelter system. Mayor de blasio said the governors order wasnt necessary and that bringing the hom
Will continue to see episodes of tactical convergence between the United States and iran and cooperation but for his personal interests we will continue to see this strategic enmity between the United States and iran not because it is in the interests of either country or something pushed by the u. S. Government but the parochial interests of the Supreme Leader to maintain this strategic enmity. Thank you for that pessimistic but realistic appraisal of where things are headed. We will turn to questions in the interests of time, three questions at a time. Please identify yourself and your affiliation and keep it to a question and very brief. My question to anyone who would ask, in february of 2014 u. S. Treasury issued in which they sanction Companies Including a couple of cooperative, treasury stated these operatives bringing fighters from afghanistan to syria to al qaeda. It doesnt make sense. Al qaeda related groups including isis. Can you shed some light and turn this . With knowled
Interests out there. I care and ill keep caring. I hoff you. Ask for your vote and hope to see you soon. Thank you, mr. Congressman. Mr. Tarpley without mentioning any of your opponents why should i vote for you . The policies of the federal government are destroying the middle class in this country. We see rising prices, wages that are stagnating, jobs that have been shipped overseas. Right here in our district we see jobs that have been lost over the last ten, 15, 20 years. What is the problem . The problem, ladies and gentlemen, is not that washington is broken. Washington is bought. The problem is that special interests control what goes on in washington. We need a congressman who will not be controlled by special interests, that wont allow the pac money and the big money from the big corporate interests to dictate what he does in washington, d. C. We need a congressman that will fight for the middle class, that will fight for the farmers, that will fight for the small businessmen,
Crisis. I fully support air strikes in iraq. I fully support air strikes in syria. But i also want to make sure that all of the arab communities steps up to the plate and put their boots on the ground, put their men and women, like we do, on the line. Im telling you, this isis stuff just shows how much our lack of leadership has led to a much more dangerous world we live in. Thank you. Congressman rahall . Isis is a threat to Americas National security. It must be taken seriously and no joking around here with this heinous group. Its vital that we cut the head of the snake off. President obama is conducting air raids as we speak to hit at the head of the snake. The command and control centers in iraq and in syria. I support those strikes. I voted for a limited authorization, not for these strikes, but a limited authorization to arm the moderate Syrian Rebels until december 15. Should we have identified these moderate rebels years ago . Sure. You bet we should have. To make sure the arm
