Host its also interesting that senator polls generally show the public support this for safety reasons. How do supporters of a modified Collection Program this way public concerns over safety . [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, redemption the polls have change with the rise of isis, certainly since we got to know who Edward Snowden is. Americans are feeling less safe because of the threat of isis. That plays into this. The interesting thing is that congress, what is congress the best at . Doing shortterm extensions. As senator lee indicated, they cannot do it here, they dont have the votes. Useful to Health Lawmakers and senator lee. Definitely in doubt whether they could do a shortterm solution. U. S. The question about this Tactical Group with marco rubio and rand paul and ted cruz, who are working together with him on this tea party plus libertarian leanings. He suggested they would like to continue to work together. How does that play out against senator mcconnells wishes for legislative agenda . Thein sein senator lee has senator cruz cosponsoring his bills, rand paul is further to the left and will like to see the patriot act be revealed altogether, indicated that he may go for sunset. Then you have marco rubio who is Standing Firm with the hawks saying we must extend the program and preserve the nsas authorities. So its a very interesting diversity of views. On president ial politics, he mentioned he had Close Friends in the senate. He also said jim bush had a rough few couple of days. He said bush fatigue was actually out there. Not a big fan of jim bush. We appreciate your time and expertise. Thank you.

The only time i felt a shiver of fear go of my back was on the dark side of the earth looking at the one side of australia eastern australia and watching a shooting star come in between me and the earth. At first, i had the standard reaction of wishing upon a star, and then i had the sobering realization that that was a huge rock from the universe going who knows, 20 miles a second, and missed us and made it to the atmosphere. If it had hit us, we would have been dead in an instant. Tonight at 8 00 eastern and pacific. Marco rubio outlined his foreignpolicy doctrine at the council on Foreign Relations in new york city on wednesday. This is about one hour. [applause] senator rubio thank you. It is an honor to be back at the council. Charlie senator rubio has had an extraordinary political career. After serving as Florida State legislature and speaker, he was at that time closely identified with governor bush. I take note of the fact that the senator has been, in a number of instances, reaching out to share his views on a variety of issues, especially Foreign Policy. Not just in the United States, but in europe and other places. Its an honor to be here to introduce you to him, and to have him introduce the views he holds, because many people believe this election in 2016 will between large part about Foreign Policy. Usually elections are about economics and how people feel about their wellbeing and whether the country is on the right track or not. The Foreign Policy seems to be more and more relevant in this election. So with that, senator marco rubio. [applause] senator rubio thank you. It is an honor to be back at the council of Foreign Relations. I appreciate very much the opportunity to address you here today. I wanted to begin my remarks by quoting from the closing of another set of remarks. From a speech i believe echoes across history due to its proximity to tragedy. But that stands more importantly, more powerfully, as a testament to the bipartisan tradition of strong American Leadership. On the morning of november 22, 1963, president john f. Kennedy spoke at a Fort Worth Chamber of commerce event. He spoke on the need for a strong and active america. He ended with this. I am confident, as i look to the future, that our chances for security and chances for peace are better than they have been in the past. The reason is because we are stronger. With that strength is the determination to not only maintain the peace, but also the vital interests of the United States. To that great cause, texas and the United States are committed. Those are the final words of the final speech president kennedy ever spoke. But the commitment to american strength he spoke of lives long across decades and parties eventually bringing about the conclusion of the cold war and the emergence of america as the worlds superpower. President kennedy, make most before and since, understood what i believe our current president does not. An american strength is a means of preventing war, not promoting it, and that weakness on the other hand, is the friend of danger and the enemy of peace. Since the end of the cold war, the threats facing america have changed. But the need for american strength has not. Its only grown more prevalent. As the world has grown more interconnected. In recent decades, technology has demolished the barriers to travel and trade, transforming our National Economy into a global one. The prosperity of our people now depends on the ability to act freely in the international marketplace. Turmoil across the world can impact American Families almost as much as turmoil across towns. It can cause the cost of living to rise, or entire industries to shed jobs incredible. And crumble. Today as never before, Foreign Policy is domestic policy. Sadly, i believe president obama often disagrees with that simple truth. He entered office believing america was too hard on our adversaries. Two engaged in too many places. That if we only took a step back and did more nationbuilding at home, seating leadership to other countries, america would be better like and the world would be better off. So he wasted no time stripping parts from the engine of american strength. He enacted hundreds of billions of dollars in defense cuts that left our Army Contract to be an preworld war ii levels. Our navy at preworld war i levels and the air force with the smallest and oldest combat force in its history. He demonstrated a disregard for our moral purpose that at times flirted with disdain. He criticized america ever having arrogance and the audacity to dictate our terms to other nations. From his reset with russia to his open hand to iran, to his and reciprocated un reciprocated opening to cuba he has embraced regimes that oppose every nation our country has championed. The deterioration of our strength has led to the world more dangerous then went president obama entered office. In the last two years, we have seen emboldened russia invade ukraine and annex crimea. We have seen isis sweep across multiple states and attempt to establish a caliphate. We have seen one of the most devastating humanitarian catastrophes in decades as hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered at the whim of a tyrant. We have seen the largest migration of refugees since world war ii, bringing instability to an entire region and putting whole generations at risk of radicalization. We have seen china rapidly expand its military capabilities and take aggressive actions in the south and east china seas. We have seen north korea expand its arsenal. We have seen cyberattacks against our allies and people. We have seen Peaceful Protesters met with violence from their government. Most frightening of all, we have seen iran expanded its influence throughout the middle east, and threatened to annihilate israel as it moves closer to a Nuclear Weapons capability. The president s proposed deal with iran will likely lead to a cascade of Nuclear Proliferation and middle east and it could force israel to take old action to defend itself, making war with iran even more likely. President obamas desperation to sign a deal, any deal, has caused him to elevate politics over policy, legacy over leadership, and adversaries over allies. The likely impact of this deal along with the broader unraveling of global order underscored truths we must never again forget. America plays a part on the world stage for which there is no understudy. When we fail to lead with strength in principle, there is no other country, friend or foe, who is willing or able to take our place. The result is chaos. I believe the element of maintaining american strength lies where the buck stops. It is up to our next president to properly fund and modernize our military. It is up to our next president to restore our peoples faith in the promise and power of the american ideal. We simply cannot afford to elect as our next resident, one of the leading agents of this administrations Foreign Policy. A leader from yesterday whose tenure as secretary of state was ineffective at best, and dangerously negligent at worst. The stakes of tomorrow are too high. To look to the failed leadership of yesterday. While america did not intend to become the world indispensable power, that is exactly what our economic and legal freedoms have Political Freedoms have made us. The free nations of the world still look to america to champion our shared ideals. Vulnerable nations depend on us to deter aggression from larger nations. And oppressed people still turned their eyes towards our shores, wondering if we hear their cries. Wondering if we notice their affliction. We cannot bring peace and stability on our own. The world cannot do it without us. The question is not should we lead, but rather how should we lead in this new century . What principles should govern the exercise of power in this new era. The 21st century requires a president who will answer that question with clarity and consistency. One that will set forth a doctrine for the exercise of american influence in the world and will adhere to that doctrine with the principal devotion that has marked the bipartisan tradition of president ial leadership from truman, kennedy, to reagan. Today i intend to adopt the offer such a doctrine. And in the coming years, i intend to be such a president. My Foreign Policy consists of three pillars. The first is american strength. This is an idea that stems from a simple truth, that the world is at its safest when america is at its strongest. When america has the mightiest army and navy and air force, and marine corps and coast guard and intelligence community, the result is more peace, not more conflicts. To ensure our strength never falters we must always plan ahead. It takes forethought to design and many years to build capabilities we may need at a moments notice. To restore american strength, my First Priority will be to adequately fund the military. This will be a priority even in times of peace and stability. Although the world today is neither peaceful and are stable. We need to undo the damage caused by this sequester, which is why i have endorsed at the National Defense panels recommendations that we return as soon as possible to secretary gates fiscal year 2012 budget baseline. Adequately funding the military will allow us not only to grow forces but also to modernize them, which in turn will allow less to remain on the cutting edge and every arena before us land, sea, and air, and also cyberspace and outerspace. The battlefields of the 21st century. By modernizing and innovating, we can ensure we never send our troops into a fair fight, but always equip them with the upper hand. When they come home, we should be is firmly committed to their wellbeing as they have been to ours. A Strong Military also means a strong intelligence community. Equipped with all the tools he needs to defend the homeland from extremism. Both homegrown and foreign trained. Key this will be extending section 215 of the patriot act. We cannot let politics cloud the importance of this issue. We must never find ourselves looking back after a terrorist attack, saying we could have done more to save american lives. Some argued that with all the fiscal challenges our nation faces, we simply cannot afford to invest in the military. But the truth is, we cannot afford not to invest in it. We must remember the Defense Budget is not the primary driver of our debt. Every time we try to cut a dollar from it, it seems to cost us several more to make up for it. This is because the successes of all of our nations depends on the safety of the American People and the stability of the global economy. With brings me to my second pillar, which is the protection of the American Economy in a globalized world. When america was founded, it took more than 10 weeks to travel to europe. In the 19th century, the steam engine cut that down to around 12 days. In the 20th century the airplane cut it to around six hours. In the 21st century, you can Access Global markets in a single second with the top of cap tap of your smartphone. Millions of the best jobs in this new century will depend on international trade. It was more important than ever that Congress Gave the president trade Promotion Authority so he can finalize the tpp and the transatlantic trade and investment partnership. These will create millions of jobs and cement u. S. Strategic partnerships in asia and south america and europe. Secretary clinton preached a message of International Engagement and smart power, yet not willing to stand up to special interests and support free trade are either hypocritical or failed to grasp trades role as a tool of craft that can bolster our relationship with partners, and in the process create millions of better paying american jobs. As president , i will use American Power to oppose any violations of International Waters, airspace, cyberspace, or outerspace. This includes the economic disruption caused when one country invades another. As well as the chaos caused by disruptions, such as the South China Sea or straight up or move vermouth. Russia, china, iran, or any nation that at times to block comments will have to respond to my administration. Gone will be the days of debating where ship is flagged or whether it is our place to criticize territorial expansionism. In this century, business must have the freedom to operate around the world constants. The third pillar of the doctrine is moral clarity regarding american core values. We must recognize that our nation is a global leader, not simply because it has superior arms. But also because it has superior aims. America is the first power in history motivated by a desire to expand freedom. Americans can simply expand its own territory. In recent years, the ideal that formed the backbone of american policy a passionate defense of human rights, the strong support of democratic principles and the protection of the sovereignty of our allies, these values have been replaced by at best, caution and at worst outright willingness to betray those values for the expediency of negotiations with repressive regimes. This is not just morally wrong it is contrary to our interest. Because wherever freedom and human rights spread, partners for our nation are born. But whenever Foreign Policy becomes unhinged from its moral purpose, it weakens global stability and forms crack in our national resolve. In this century, we must restore americans willingness to think big, to say boldly what we think, what we stand for and why it is right. Just as Ronald Reagan never flinched in his criticism of the soviet Union Political and economic repression, we must never shy a week on demanding that china allow true freedom for its 1. 3 billion people. Nor should we hesitate in calling the source of atrocities in the middle east by his real name, radical islam. As president , i will support the spread of economic and Political Freedom by we reinforcing our alliances, resisting efforts by large powers to subjugate smaller neighbors, maintaining a robust and transparent foreign assistance program, and advance the rights of the vulnerable including women and religious minorities who are so often persecuted. So that the afflicted people of this new world will know the truth. The American People hear their cries, see their suffering, and most of all desire their freedom. These are the three pillars of my doctrine. American strength, the protection of our global economy, and a proud advocacy for americas core values. This approach will restore American Leadership to a world badly in need of it. It will reestablish a Foreign Policy based on strategy and principal, rather than one based on politics and polls. One that is overseen by the white house. Not mic
