citizens of the world, ask not what america can do for you but what we can do working together for the freedom of mankind. i think that s something president trump should take into consideration, that we re talks about freedom, we re talking about peace, we re talking about working together. and that is about security which is the oath we take to protect and defend. in our country, we ve had so many great leaders and the one i quote the most is president lincoln. president lincoln said, public sentiment is everything. with it, you can accomplish almost anything, without it, practically almost nothing. public sentiment is everything. public sentiment can determine everything that happens here in washington, d.c. you re speaking out, katie, about your situation in your town meeting. that s really changed everything in terms of how we intend to
terms of public sentiment. the problem is the moderates can say all they want. a couple of missing figures. paul ryan, eric cantor, lets see if they after 48 hours of this decide something needs to change. someone else a missing figure israeli prime minister netanyahu here in the united states speaking at the u.n. general assembly. let us take a quick listen in. like everyone else, i wish we could believe rouhani s words. we must focus on you iran s action. it s extraordinary contradiction between rouhani s words and iran s actions that is so startling. rouhani stood at this very

we had that very long, hard, primary campaign. i worked very hard, but i lost and president obama asked me to be secretary of state, and i said yes, and why did he ask me and why did i say yes? because we both love our country. congressman paul ryan today is spelling out what he learned from the election, he speak out as the vice presidential nominee saying moving forward the gop needs to lay out its vision with even more specifics and with a broader appeal. meanwhile, the nation s capital today there was a powerful unprecedented show of public sentiment in gun control. the million mom march brought together thousands from all over the country including 100 people from newtown, connecticut. parents, pastors and gun violence survivors calling for action in the wake of the murders at sandy hook element y elementary.
