persuade a majority of the american people that it s the right thing to do. and then each member of congress is going to have to decide if i think it s the right thing to do for the america s national security, and the world s national security, then how do i vote? ultimately, you listen to your constituents, but you have also got to make some decisions about what you believe is right for america. laura: now, when the president tried to explain why he went to congress he instead made a stark confession. did i not put this before congress just as a political ploy or symbolism. i put it before congress because i could not, honestly claim that the threat posed by assad s use of chemical weapons on innocent civilians women and children posed an imminent direct threat to the united states. laura: bingo. that is one of the main reasons why the american people left, right, and center are so vehemently against blowing one dime in syria or jeopardizing the lives of ou ....

thought the most important story was the reaction of the death of a petty street criminal and it was most reported but not close to a story that is rocking your world and you probably didn t feel the tremor. the international monetary fund revealed that china s economy surpassed that of the united states and now china is now the world s largest economy. they reported on this story and it could should have caused demonstrations in our streets. we are losing our country and no one seems to notice. less than 15 years ago, the u.s. economy was three types the size of china. and americans since 1945 have grown used to having the number one economy and must have taken it for granted. get ready to the new ranking or get angry and we ll do something about it. our current president said running up the huge debt on children and dprand children was irresponsible and unpatriotic. if so, he is the least patriotic president in history. our debt topped the 18 trillion mark. that is more than ....
michael j. fox shows up in a time machine. trump is a totally reasonable guy, as long as he gets exactly what he wants, 100% of the time. don t i wish i were debating him. i just got caught in the rain. i m soaking wet, how does my hair look. is it okay? i wish you were in high school. could i take him behind the gym. remember folks, it s a rigged system. just remember, it s a rigged system. don t ever forget it. i have now spent four and a half hours on stage with donald, proving once again i have the stamina to be president. this is the last word on campaign 2016. donald trump s current wife is imr incapable of composing or delivering a campaign speech for her husband, which would be no big deal, that would be okay. i wouldn t even mention it, if donald trump didn t decide that today was the day he would attack president obama s wife for her speech making. we have a president, all he wants to do is campaign, his wife, all she wants to do is campaign. and i se ....
but i am watching over everybody, jerry. you re in good hands, okay? thank you. you re in good hands, believe me. you can tell the people of new york. even though i didn t win new york state. i should have won new york state, but i didn t. mr. president, cathy. i want to return to a conversation we had with ivanka, dean and wilbur on jobs, the work force of the future. as we think about that and think about our skillsets, in new york city alone, our public high school graduation rate is at 70%. but the readiness of our students for college and careers is only assessed at 37%. as we look at the pace of change, we look at the digital transformation we all see in business in the marketplace, and look at the skills, this disconnect between what employers need and what our students are coming into our work forces are prepared to deliver. it would be great to get your thoughts on the priorities of the administration around education, around, again, what i like to call not the ....
