This morning our committee has gathered to markup the Border Security for america act. Before we begin id like to extend my thoughts and prayers to all the victims and the family members who have lost a loved one in the horrifying tragedy in las vegas sunday night. This kind of hatred deserves no place in our society. Now is the time to come together and heal as one nation. Going forward we must stand united and reject this kind of senseless violence. Id also like to take a brief moment to recognize the curages First Responderse, coast guard, National Guard, fema, countless volunt

No, i think, i think journalists have done their work in developing a lot of information about what our National Security apparatus thinks, how its motivated and how its acting. I think thats true. But what we, but we have not had a fundamental policy discussion in the country that we need to have. And i think and i think we can define that along many different lines. But for me the key issue is, um, if we look at whats going on in pakistan, for instance, you know, we have the cia engaged on a traditional, in a traditional theater of war in what historically have been viewed as military tactics over a sustained period of many years involving hundreds of strikes with clear military objectives.

I like it a little but i like the core values and those are the core values i stick to here. One more . Right behind her. Thank you. I am a huge fox news fan and i watch it all of the time. But i never here and there could be a legal reason for this but never hear anyone talk about the possibility of president obama being impeached . The ship has sailed. He is just biting his time.

He was so deep with the bookies that they would always stake them in hopes that a long shot came galloping home and they could take his winnings. But he had the gift of gab. He was just a wonderful charlatan, a wonderful artist and like the best con man, he often believed his own cons. He believed that the show was going to work. Thank you all so much. [applause].
