us. lose out to the drone technology in europe, other testimony would suggest that. how do we make sure that you are nimble and do that effectively? and i am out of time, so i will yield back. >> the gentleman yields back. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i believe there is a definition that is larger than what the professor mentioned. i would like to direct my comments to the administrative. if any of the rest of you want to weigh in, i appreciate that. i represent las vegas and was a strong proponent of nevada being named one of the original test centers. you mentioned that they are there for collaboration and research. what seems to have happened is, these test sites have fizzled out. they do not know what the goal is go with they should be doing. i would like to get you to comment on that. what can these test sites be doing to encourage and support? it seems like the faa has all of its attention on granting these section 333 exceptions as opposed to working with the test sites. i would also ask you, when you grant these exceptions, do you continue to get information from these facil

and the sacrifices of their families, the people back here in the homeland, the people in europe would be at much greater risk of terrorist attacks. i don't think there's any doubt about that. i think in the future as we move forward, we have a lot of talk about isil and syria and iraq. we have a lot of talk about daish in afghanistan. if it's not daish in two years, it will be something different. if we think this will be cleared up in a couple of years, we're fooling ourselves. we have to position ourselves to ensure we can do everything we can to mitigate this impact. and the way to do that is to continue to apply pressure with a great special operating forces, with the great men and women we have in all of our services and to seek capability in afghanistan and other countries around the region so they can take it upon themselves. without that, the world would be much greater. >> tell us a specificity when we talk about this. if we hadn't been in afghanistan, if we hadn't done this, how would they have had a greater opportunity to strike the united states and do harm to us here at h

terrorist fighter who is are answering public calls to leave their home countries in europe and elsewhere to travel to iraq and syria and take up the extremist fight there. many of these individuals will seek to return to their home countries with the same extremist motive. the recent wave of terrorist attacks and attempted attacks here and in europe w reflect this new reality. the boston marathon bombing in april 2013, the attack on the war memorial and the parliament building in ottawa in october 2014, the attack on the charity hebdo headquarters in paris in january 2015, the attempted attack in garland city, texas, in may 2015 and the attack that killed five u.s. service members in chattanooga, tennessee, july 2015, what does this recent wave of attacks and attempted attack vs in common? they're all conducted by home dproun or home based actors and they all appear to be inspired and not directed by al qaeda or isil. we're concerned about domestic terrorism in the form of a lone wolf which can include various aspects of domestic terrorism such as right-wing extremism, as well. we devote

. look at yaueurope. unemployment rates in europe are sky high. they have great social benefits but they don't have jobs. we need to create jobs in this country. >> i agree with that, but i understand why these callers are mad. they see illegal immigrants who do get a lot of benefits in the united states when they come here. when they work and -- look. if they show up a the a hospital, a hospital can't throw them out. hospitals have to take anybody who comes with an ailment. and who pays for that? ultimately in many cases the taxpayers pay for that. there are many other benefits that they can get that make people furious when they're taxpayers themselves. so what we need -- that's why we need immigration reform to make people with clean records legally in this system. you don't have to give them a special path to citizenship. but allow them to be working legally in the country when they pay taxes and don't just reap benefits without paying anything. >> bernadette in arizona, independent caller. hello. >> caller: hello. how are you? from doing fine. question our comment here? >> call

of europe's eastern policy chances and challenges. and this is a report on a project which the -- supported, europe and the east in 2030, so it's -- eastern neighborhood, which so far has been enormously successful. that will be a celebration. i'm kidding. it's going to be an expert panel reporting on the product of this project. thursday this week, october 8th at 9:30, we have an event called assessing the state of the russian media and this is just a really great opportunity when we happen to have three very big names in the world of reporting in russia and about russia who are all follows at the kennan institu institute, so we wanted to get them all together. alan cull son, the moscow correspondent for "the wall street journal" for a decade and a half, sergei, who has a show and elena, a special investigative correspondent. so it's a really, really good group of journalists. i encourage you to join us on thursday mortganing. let me start today's event, russia's war against terror. elena had just published this book. the evolution of terrorism in russia's north caucuses and w

swamped europe with migrants. it has made a muddle of the u.s. policy, providing for an opening of the russians exhibiting americans in resoluteness and cause much pain. is that a fair characterization? >> no, i would not say that at all. >> why not?hat >> people think it's so easy for us to just go into any country e any time that something is going on in that country and interjecr ourselves. remember, the president also ha to follow laws. the governing law around the world is the united nations charter, which gives specific reasons of how and why we go to war. we go to war, someone attacks us, right? we have that possibility to go to war if someone attacks us. if we think they're about to attack us. and we go if we're invited in by the government to help them. ie, allies. and the fourth is, if we have ae u.n. resolution from the security council that says go h in. we have none of those in order to be able to go to syria. so it begs the question, all those people run in, oh, my goodness, we've got go to syria, we've got to get rid of assad. you just don't march into a't country to

of v traveling to europe last wintere with congressman pompeo and i know how well informed and thoughtful he is on the issues. so i'm delighted to have them here today andle, be able to moderate this conversation.kte let me start if i could by going back a few weeks to the debate at simi valley among the republican presidential contenders. and during that debate, there was i thought an interesting governor bush n and donald trump. in which governor bush made the point that his brother, t, president bush 43 kept the nation safe after 9/11 for the remaining 7 1/2 years of his te terms and donald trump rejoined i didn't feel so safe today. i want to unpack those thing as little bit. judge mukasey, could you talk et about some of the things that president bush 43 did do duringw his term to keep us safe and te then could maybe both of you talk about whether donald trump has something of a point? ought we feel as safe today as we did during the bush administration? >>d i think for one thing. he focused everybody's b int attention, 9/11 focused t everybody's attention, but i w think h

. and she also wants to go to europe. so there are lots of reasons that people are desperate to envision a better life. >> let me just ask this question. so, if an effort -- it's hard for me to contemplate this even. if an effort were put in place to strengthen assad, which is what russia and iran are pursuing right now, what effect would that have if we were somehow a part of that or winked and a nod and said that was okay, what would that do from your perspective, based on what you're seeing on the ground relative to the refugee crisis. i think i can answer for you. if you would, answer for the recor record. >> i congratulate you on the precision of your question and leading a humanitarian organization, i'm going to have to be extremely precise in my answer. i mean, i think that from our point of view, the violations of international law and basic rights are coming from all sides but the majority are coming from the assad government. secondly, it's evident to anyone who reads the newspapers or follows the debate that significant actions by the assad government have bolstered i

destabilizing eastern europe with his unacceptable incursions in ukraine. in blocking the achievement of cease-fires and stabilizing and to stopping the barrel bombs in see ya. and he's being a provocative agent in the arctic, which requires canada to stand firm with our multilateral partners to push back with strong sanctions and as a strong partner of nato to that. mr. harper has made a big deal of talking loudly and strongly to mr. putin. but the reality is canada has such a diminished voice on the world stage that mr. harper hasn't noticed that vladimir putin didn't listen to him when he told him to get out of ukraine. unfortunately that is a reflection that we don't have the impact that we used to have to push back against bullies like vladimir putin. >> it's fascinating to hear these other parties talk about their fears and their concerns about mr. putin. for years they accused this government of being alarmist, as we pointed out to the world the deterioration of democracy and human rights in russia under his rule, and his increasingly destabilizing behavior internat

? you are witnessing these countries as they spread this extremist ideology until it reached europe, where it hit as it is hitting the middle east while the sleeper cells are waking up, bombings and assassinations have returned once again in the west. what is the guilt, i ask, of the innocent people of your countries who started paying the price of supporting terrorism by some of your politicians? you know better than anyone else that terrorism is an ideology that recognizes no boundaries. you know that when this monster comes out it cannot be limited to certain countries. the terrorism of isis and other al qaeda-affiliated terrorist organizations is killing the innocent, capturing women and launching mortar shells on civilians. this terrorism is cutting drinking water and destroying history and civilization landmarks, including those inkrii inscribed on the world heritage list, which is the heritage of all mankind. the last crimes was the destruction of temples and the brutal killing of archaeologists. why do some of your governments support countries that are used to exporting the

destroyed, that europe is being deeply impacted, that jordan is being greatly put under enormous pressure, lebanon, turkey, the region, and so many millions of syrians are displaced within syria itself. most compelling of all, the tragedy that syrians are living every single day. the best opportunity we have is to try to come to the table and recognize there has to be the political solution that everybody has talked about. as part of this diplomacy, i've had many conversations with my russian counterpart sergei radlof, and as everybody knows, russian strikes in syria began about four weeks ago. is russia there just to shore up assad, or is russia there to actually help bring about a solution? we'll know. we'll put that to the test. and contrary to the claims of officials in moscow, it has to be underscored that most of the strikes thus far have been directed not against dash but against the opponents of the assad regime. so that is not, in our view, the way to try to bring the war to a close, but that will be part of the discussion that we have in the course of our vienna meeting

came from europe. post '65, it was reversed. the supply side, as it were, of how we changed our visa systems for that explanation. surely, that is at least partially true. it strikes me that very few people talk about how much demand was there in a booming western european economy and also eastern europe which was largely behind the iron curtain that did not permit immigration. was this really a question of what we did on the supply side or is it is it more of a question of what happened with respect to demand for visas from other countries? at this point, i guess i'm curious about what the panelists might have thoughts about with respect to each other's presentations. without necessarily going in detail but -- or in order, let me start with rose, whether you have additional comments. >> well, i wanted to respond to what jayesh said about the gloom and doom. it's true. we're here, being very critical of the act. but one of the things that we have yet to mention is how the 1965 act relates to the overall population today. and where we will be in 2043, at least as predicted by dem

remain in their homeland. the situation has gotten so bad that we're now seeing europe struggle to deal with its greatest migration and refugee crisis since world war ii as many fleeing the syrian conflict are trying to make their way into europe. but while the european crisis may be grabbing the headlines at the moment, let's remember that this crisis was not created yesterday. for years, the people of syria have been impacted, and the syrian refugee crisis has also impacted countries like jordan, like lebanon, turkey and egypt, and yet many in the international community ignored these countries' pleas for assistance. these countries are more vulnerable because they have less capacity and less resources to deal with the crisis. let's take jordan for example. about 630 syrians have been registered by a unhcr plus hundreds of thousands more that have already assimilated in skror dan, all of which plays an incredible burden on the kingdom to provide basic services to over 1 million new people. but with more and more refugees seeking to reach europe from syria and its neighbors there will,

political difficult here, but clearly, there are a number of things that have happened in europe that have diminished the support. there is the growing nationalism, the growing division, the fact that the entire all the european parliament, all the countries have to prove it. the nsa in germany. the scandal has diminished a loft support for that. then there are all the groups talking about environmental issues. that dan just mentioned. that i think are making people nervous about this. here in the united states, it's cheerily been loss of jobs, but with the economy coming back, that kind of diminishes a little bit. so, the support i think for here in the united states has been a bit stronger. it's never been strong for a lot of trade agreements in general. but i think it's an interesting way in which the two sides of somewhat reversed themselves here in the last couple of years since the negotiations were p proposed that got underway. >> first of all, it's still president obaositive in germany. 41-36. and i think all the country where you have very strong opposition, austria, you have

, once again, the u.s. must join with enlightened leaders in europe to take action, and this builds on the work the obama administration has been doing for more than four years to help the countries neighboring syria and address the needs of innocent people caught up in the syrian crisis. i know it was said the u.s., europe, and the osce are debating what to do. i think europe is debating, but the u.s. is very much doing. we're doing a lot. and we're seeking to be as helpful as possible. and that is the message that in recent weeks we've been telling european ambassadors and leaders, foreign ministers, prime ministers. and this builds on what we've been saying to the leaders of lebanon, jordan, turkey, iraq in the previous several years. so i'm very happy with that, to answer your questions about my testimony and related issues. >> thank you very much, madam secretary. let me ask first, i'll throw in a few questions and then yield to my colleagues because we all have many, many questions. in terms of the number of people potentially going to be resettled here in the united states, the

crisis in europe. then the white house daily press briefing followed by a senate foreign relations hearing on climate change. >>> on the next washington journal, florida congressman david jolly talks about the gop leadership races and the highway transportation bill. congressman jolly serves on the transportation committee. then chris van hollen on the debt ceiling debate. washington journal is live every morning at 7:00 a.m. eastern on c-span, and you can join the conversation with your calls and comments on facebook and twitter. >>> a house armed services subcommittee will receive an update on the f-35 joint strike program. witnesses include the program's executive director and major general jeffrey harrigan. watch this live wednesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. eastern. >>> later this week, hillary clinton testifies before the house benghazi committee, which is investigating the events surrounding the 2012 terrorist attack on the u.s. consulate there. the democratic presidential candidate has said the investigation has turned political, focusing on her use of a private e-mail server

, with the countries around lebanon, iraq, to help the refugees and also to help them in europe add to the wave of immigrants. and we must also work with the countries of origin. we must stop the war. >> translator: during the last decade, canada received 250,000 refugees, the biggest settlement program on the planet. according to the numbers, there are 15 million displaced people in the world, maybe even more in the greater region. of course, that is the reason for which we must have a balanced way of accepting the refugees. there are many that remain there, and there is also military action against the islamic state that are determined to create more refugees and the murder of millions of people, literally. >> translator: people are unanimous in the country, we must do more. canada always benefited from being an open country and from being people in a crisis situation, be it the hungarians who were fleeing behind the sovietic situation, be those fleeing to come to canada. we welcomed tens of thousands of people, and mr. harper wants to talk about security. our security was always

health. chapter 11 is a true challenge, and mr. trudeau said that he agreed with europe, with this nafta matter. it went to the house of champions. mr. harper has an agreement with europe, and there are aspects, like investments, for example, that concern us and concern other countries in europe. so even if he announced 12 times that he's going to make an agreement, there isn't one yet. we can't pretend that we are growing while we are slowing down. i will never accept as the crucial environment or health or other matters to be nondefined, to international experts decide what i have the right to decide for the public. that's a basic canadian value. to keep the authority of the state, to take one's own decisions in the interest of the public. you know, mr. mulcair is trying to change the ndp to improve his image. the reality is that there are enormous difficulties to understand. we need free trade agreements to create a better future for our jobs and our economy. the ndp does not support any free-trade agreement that night have been signed in the last few years. oh, no, there is one

many years, having to appoint him as the commander in europe.

"crusade in europe" based on his memoir. how many times did we see that? three, four? maybe five times? certainly by the time we became adults, we were well familiarized with his story. >> what does his leadership tell you about that period in american history for either one of you? >> in 1990, when he would have been 100, we had a series of events. there's a famous picture of him with the troops the night before, and he's looking at number 23 was how i knew him because he had that picture on his desk and daddy had that picture on his desk too. i always wondered who number 23 was. i met number 23 aboard the u.s.s. eisenhower. his name was wally strobel. i said, what in the world was he saying to you because that was the night he was trying to make everybody comfortable about deploying the next day and that kind of thing. he said, well, he might have been asking me about the fishing in saginaw. that's what this intense look is. >> it's fly fishing. >> it's fly fishing. >> to answer your earlier question, once upon a time now as a grownup i saw my brother on tv giving an interview and th

hearts of the people open to him from europe to the town of his boyhood where the adventure of dwight d. eisenhower, the man, began. abilene, kansas, today -- a busy and proud town of almost -- wheatland is typical of the kind of town that comes to mind with the phrase grassroots america. the mark of the past is on it, but it does not live in the past. its streets and buildings bear testimony to a living and growing america. one of its newest and proudest buildings is the eisenhower museum which carries forth the spirit and history of the eisenhower family of abilene. it is visited daily by citizens from all parts of the country ranging from dignitary to school boy. inside the museum the life of dwight eisenhower, boy and man, is depicted in a series of murals. from infancy that life had the flavor of grassroots america about it. eisenhower was born in 1890 in texas, of parents whose families migrated to pennsylvania from europe and to the american midwest. young eisenhower's parents lived in abilene before his birth and it was abilene now a peaceful village of the plains that they retu

in europe and in the united states, the revolutionary war, and a are codifying it. and to be code is critically important and often overlooked in american history and in world history. copieseva convention entire sections of the code. so the code survives in spirit today and these humanitarian protections for noncombatants, prisoners of war. buried within the code is a very bold statement that in a sense is the first equal rights policy of the united states government. soldiers, regardless of their color, are to be treated equally. and it was a line in the sand. provocative and, boy, it did. they all react -- adept reactionary policies to this. be treateds are to as slaves and repatriated to slavery. white officers of black regiments are to be put to the for inciting insurrection. -- put to death for inciting insurrection. for months, that policy is just talk. following the, you know, in charleston, following the assault that is featured in the film "glory," 35 men of the 54th massachusetts are captured. there are not killed, they are captured. and what to do with them is the tipping

want them coming back or going to hurt our partner thursday europe. >> that's the future we'll be talking about the next three to five years. we want to send a scary message, because what we see in the travelers is they're getting incrementally younger, and more females. think it's a great way to find a life. we're trying to send a message that it's a nightmare there, especially for a woman, but that if you play around with this, you'll enup in jail for a long stretch to, to try to change that behavior. >> who are you arresting? what is the background of the individuals? you said more women. are you encountering younger people? is this just centered in one community or something we're seeing across the country? >> the challenge is there's no geographic center to it. in part because of the crowd sourced way the message is going out and there are kids and adults seeking meaning in the life, troubled people all over the united states so it resonates with those groups. there isn't a particular demographic either as to location or age. the syria travelers arranged from 18 to 63. but wh

their position through the ukraine, looking at eastern europe and has landed themselves with a coalition inside syria. >> i do not believe it's crisis. i believe it's a disagreement in strategy and that's what were trying to work out. >> i respect that but i believe it is a crisis. i believe we have a president with no foreign-policy whatsoever. we are wondering who in the world is defending our country. with that, mr. chairman, i yield yield back. >> we now proceed. >> thank you, i would like to rebalance and refocus to cyber strategy, if i may. a lot of my colleagues have asked about deterrence and this is something i i am concerned about after recent events that have been discussed. with the current threats to our cyber network, the need to discuss here emma including creating and maintaining a persistent training?; environmt and building the joint information environment to secure the dod enterprise. the development of these priorities cannot only serve as a deterrent but need the readiness to be the best in the world. where is the dod in allocating resources for these pri

entrepreneurs setting up shop than anywhere else in europe. wages are rising. hope is returning. we're moving into the light. but we're not there yet. we're only halfway through. for me that has a very literal meaning. i can say something today that perhaps no prime minister has ever really been able to say before. i'm starting the second half of my time in this job. as you know, i am not going to fight another election as your leader. so i don't have the luxury of unlimited time. let me tell you, i am in just as much of a hurry as five years ago. securing our country, growing our economy, jobs, exports, growth, infrastructure. these are the stepping stones on the path to greatness for our country, and we've been laying them every day since we came to office. we will continue to do so. but to make britain greater, we need to tackle some deep social problems, problems we only just made a start on, as we focused on the economic emergency that faced us. the scourge of poverty. the brick wall of blocked opportunity. the shadow of extremism, hanging over every single one of us. a greater br

of germany in. the more europe accepts acceptse refugees from the compassion has people, the more they accept in, the more of the four million that are with placed outside will flow into europe. the more of the 7.6 displaced within syria will become refugees and flow into europe. so we have the examination in our countries to take people. but we have to recognize what insend advertise for illegal immigration and we'll be going to central america. are there governing structures, leaders like we had in colombia, that will actually take the money andite properly to improve conditions or basically wasting the money? we have to address as part of our border security strategy, assessing the fact of our insatiable demand for drug, and every incentive in our law for illegal immigration, the number one is work. let's have a functioning guest worker program. so that there's a host of issues but we can control things here. i don't know how much we can control in central america. we're compassionate and want to help. so let make sure addressing the incentive inside the laws and ajude addictio

in europe and elsewhere to travel to iraq and syria and take up the extremist fight there. many will try to return to their home count re the same motive. the recent wave of attacks here and in europe reflect this reality. the boston marathon bombing, the attack on the government building in ottawa, the attack on the charlie hebdo head quarters in paris in january of 2015, the attempted attack in garland in may of 2015, and the attack that killed five u.s. service members in chattanooga, tennessee in july of 2015. what do these attacks have in common? they are inspired or directed by isis and are home-grown terrorist. we are concerned about the lone wolf. we devote substantial effort to the study and understanding of these threats and will continue to further our understanding of the pinnings in all forms. what we hope to do is set forth in my remarks and i will not elaborate here but i will conclude by saying two points. one, i applaud both the house and senate for the good work that has been done on cybersecurity legislation. i applaud the fact it has been bipartisan. as senator ca

europe. there are fewer muslims in western europe than what we have in russia, and they are suffering from attacks, terrorist attacks of there. so again, i think the threat to the western, to western civilization, to the non-muslim world from radical islam, islamic terrorists is real and it makes sense if someone is also a target for that, that we don't try to do everything we can to undermine their efforts. but instead at least try to find ways to cooperate. that's what this hearing is all about. and my colleague will now have his questions. >> okay. going to put that letter for the record? >> that's for the record. >> okay. i just have, associate with ukraine with what's going on in syria. do you think it has anything to do with putin's decision to go into syria, the fact that now this is like the stalemate there? >> one of the most interesting reactions that i heard or read in the russian media emulate after the, because it was a surprise to everybody, part of the issue was russia is about putin literally his own defense counsel, which is very difficult, it's a very dangerous situa

we do things our way. we get rebates, we get out, but it's not what we get europe out of but what we get into. biggest trade deal in our history. who do you think got europe for sanctions on iran and bring to negotiating table, it was us, it was britain, we did. believe me i have no romantic attachment, i'm only interested in two things, britain prosperity and influence. that's why i am going to work hard so that we can get a better deal and best of both worlds. when we joined the european union, we were told things about going into a common market rather goals than some had of an everclosing union. i will put that right. [applause] >> today it's uncertain world. we had foreign investment into our country than anywhere in europe, apart from america and china, but if anyone thinks that backing on the economy is one, they need to think again, the battle has only just begin. we still need to find savings and produce more, we still need to become competitive, we still need to make the most of our whole country and build that northern power house. we need to do all of these things at a ti

code that encourages this bringing back and they will invest in europe so workers have higher productivity. and we would like to bring the rates down and make it simpler and we are working on things we will be talking about soon. in addition to that, we need to goat on the road to the balanced budget. when we balance the budget and cut the capital gains tax and add a family tax cred on the deal i was the architect the economy because going gang busters. now guess what is happening? we are up 347,000 private sector jobs. ohio is reborn. we have to get back to the basics. it is not that difficult. we will have to dwell entitlement and the balanced budget. we have to have the tax reform and change the regulatory environment. all of this can happen. you have about 120 days. i think individual tax reform will be difficult but corporate tax reform can happen. you cannot delay. you cannot walk around trying to look at the pictures in the white house and wonder how the plans are coming. you have to go in there knowing what you will do because this town will fight you every single inch

europe. we are not resettling out of europe. we are working prime airily in jordan and turkey. i think the incentive for other nationalities for nonsyrians is different in those countries as first asylum as first piece. we don't rely on any single document. in general worldwide we see quite a difference between refugee population, some of which are very highly documented and some of which because of the nature of their refugee experience don't have a lot of documents. we think documents are informative and look at them but no single document is taken as a goal ticket for refugee approval. >> well, i'm sure that's true. we also are told european officials stated not long ago that a million in north africa waiting to cross the med -- mediterranean, so a lot of people that would like to become refugee to the united states or europe, and if have to sort through them, what if they don't have any documents. a lot of people don't have any documents? what do you refer to then? >> in general, again, as i mentioned we found with syrian refugees, i would say with iraqi refugees, in general they h

sensual europe as part of the deal by which those countries would not join nato, not now and not in the future and this would be conditional on russia verifiably upholding its end of the bargain and i would like to see that kind of an idea considered. i think the chances are that it might increase the odds of a more benign russia that we write about in our article but obviously i'm risking provoking a new conversation just as we are about to finish up so i will stop there. thank you all very much for being here.
