Extraordinary accountability. I want to compare and contrast what is happening with university of oklahoma and at the university of virginia with other context. This is march madness this weekend, next weekend kicks off determined kicks off the tournament. You have had to members that lost members of their team because of allegations of sexual assault. The universities did not close down the teams, they simply discipline the individuals. They do not discipline the womens track team because of what happened on the mens basketball team. But fraternities and sororities when these types of situations occur, a are being punished in a variety of fashions, not just as individuals, but the chapters are being closed, often by the impetus of the national organization. In the university virginia, thousands of students who were suspended by the University President for an allegation that eventually was proved meritless by an investigation i the washington post, they were held accountable but something they had nothing to do with. Most notable for that john, you had thousands of Women Leaders sororities are the largest Leadership Organization for women on campus. They were held accountable and suspended for an allegation of sexual assault, which is a terrible message to send. Host pennsylvania is up next, line for democrats. Caller im sorry to hear you wrap your fish in the new york times, but maybe that speaks to the gentle general intelligence level of fraternities and sororities. Guest maybe it does. I read it i read a great deal of publications. The caller is misinformed him and does not realize there is a strong correlation between the member of a fraternity and sorting and completing college. One of the reasons these host institutions are eager to partner with them. They help retain freshmen into sophomore years and they a significant difference in making sure folks complete their college experience, earn that degree, and are capable of going out in the job market and getting a job that will help them pay the student debt they have incurred in the process. Host one of our colors but of a drinking issue at a fraternity i believe he said he attended, i want to run these numbers by you, this from a bloomberg story, 59 students died in incidents involving fraternities since 2005, thats 2005 to 2012, about half of them out of all related. I want to i what you to address the issue of drinking and wreaking deaths in fraternity houses drinking deaths. Guest the issue of alcohol on College Campuses is complex. The government chose three decades ago to raise the drinking age to 21, and that has proved to be that has transformed the way students use alcohol and are educated about it. Before raising the drinking age it was very common for folks to drink in high school and to learn at home, under their parent supervision, how to handle our call and make responsible handle alcohol. Folks are still drinking at that age, now they come to College Campus and they are unsupervised , they have seen all the media depictions that they need to go crazy. Efforts to control that are hemmed in, the universities are at a difficult position in trying to teach responsible behavior at the same time they are trying to kill 90 of the student body that they cannot engage in alcohol use. It sets up a difficult situation, where College Students, the vast majority of them, are breaking the law regularly by dragging alcohol by drinking alcohol. A lot about a lot of universities, if not turning a blind eye, are not enforcing it because it is difficult to enforce. Eternities and sororities inherit a part of that problem. It is externally rare for a College Students to arrive on campus and have their first ring on campus. They learn that behavior before they get there. Colleges are dealing with the aftermath of that learned behavior. An environment host is a lower drinking age something you would advocate for . Guest we do not have a position on whether or not the drinking age should be changed. We do have a commission on alcohol that is looking at ways they can continue to better educate members and students at large about how to make responsible choices, some of the policy issues involved and how freaking occurs on College Campuses drinking occurs on College Campuses. College president s would tell you that those issues concern them greatly. The weight the law is today, it encourages dangerous behavior. Students know, if they will go to a bar, they will be carded, they now pregame, drink in the room, with illicitly obtain alcohol. By the time to get to their destination, that alcohol is in their blood system and it hits them at once and it can lead to dangerous situations. It is probably time for members of congress and others at the state level to have a discussion about how to address these issues. Host tennessee james, our line for democrats. You are on with kevin oneill. Caller how are you doing this morning . Guest good. Caller i want to know how can you sit there and say that it is regulated and it is not something that has been going on . Everybody knows where i am from at least, the community i live in, not to do with race for turner these fraternities are more likely to do Community Service . We are kept out of that gate for life. You cant tell me, that i can do things. \ i can have a car in my yard. I can have a certain color, and i have to pay this and that. Ive talked about you, the people that sit there and have the power you just sit there and feed into it. Guest you bring up an important point about the history of fraternities and sororities. The article referenced in the interview, talking about they were founded as elitist when all universities were elitist. The history is vastly different. Most of the womens organizations, some are as old as 150 years old those organizations were founded, in part, because women were having a difficult time having an access to Higher Education. Sororities were a useful tool to make sure they had a handout the latter. Up the ladder. National fraternities were formed because they made an opportunity for different segments of the community to get into an organization of likeminded individuals who would support one another, learn to be Community Leaders and get engaged. I think its very rare to have what the reviewer said, the system shuts anybody out, the system is inclusive, there is a place for everybody, it basically look for the right opportunity. The right place where they will feel comfortable with the values. If not, we incurred them to start a group that reflects their values. We encourage them. We would be happy to welcome them to our community. Host park hills, missouri, independent line. Caller good morning you dont mention about this bar the Bar Association they were under a flag in this country, how come your not talking about that . Host we are talking about fraternities and sororities and the greek system. Did you want to jump in . Guest i think shakespeare said it well, i will leave it at that. Host kevin oneill is the executive director of the fraternities and sororities Political Action announcer on the next washington journal, Bill Richardson talks about congressional involvement in negotiations with iran over its nuclear program. President obamas request to use force against isis and other issues. James kendall will talk about a possible 2016 president ial candidates who are spending time in New Hampshire. And a roundtable discussion on legalizing merkel marijuana medical marijuana. Its as always, we will take your calls and you can join the conversation on facebook and twitter. Announcer monday night on the communicators, and clyburn on their recent Net Neutrality ruling. What i am proposing that we do is overhaul the Lifeline Program, make it concurrent and in sync with the information age. The prices and opportunities have been more explosive for the rest of us. Yet those providers are out of the certification business. It is a vulnerability in the cyst in in the system that we need to close. Next, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker speaks at a republican activist workshop in New Hampshire. Then a Memorial Service for edward brooke. After that, an interview with gary stein gart and joseph oneill. Scott walker spoke at a Republican Party grassroots activist workshop in concord. Governor walker is said to be considering a run for the 2016 president ial nomination. New hampshire traditionally holds the first residential primary in the nation. This is approximately 40 minutes. [applause] thank you. What a great job. Thank you. Thanks. What an honor to be here today thank you. Well, first off, i want to think youre great chair. We have been around the state the last two days, but before that, i got a chance to really sit down with Jennifer Horn and get to know her. And know her love for this party, and more importantly for the state and this country. We are at a meeting earlier in the year, and she said the rnc chair extra grew up about 15 miles down the road from me. Ironically, paul ryan grew up about 15 miles down the road from me in the other direction. It mustve been something in the water in the 1980s. [laughter] paul and i both flipped hamburgers as kids at mcdonalds. My first job was washing dishes, and then i moved up to flipping hamburgers. The only difference was i was in delving, he was in janesville. Pauls manager told him he had to flip hamburgers in the back because he didnt have the interpersonal skills to work the front Cash Register. If you see him, kid him about that. A true story. But i think about being here in the state and being joined today, my wife, the first lady of wisconsin is with us today. [applause] Governor Walker we have two sons, they are 20 and 19. Both in college. Both active as college republicans. Matthew was just the statewide chair. He knows your statewide chair here, as well. It is kind of fun to see people who know your kids, not just yourself. So we are part of that of matt and alex. They have twisted arms to maybe take part of the semester off and come to New Hampshire and come around the country and talk to young people like themselves because they are real proud of the fact that in our state, in the last election, now is the number one target in the country, at least one of the network exit polls showed that among 18 to 23 euros old years old, we won we went from 29 to 48 . How about that. We got the message out. [applause] Governor Walker and i want to tell you how much i appreciate all of you not being here just today, but many of you helped us out over the last couple years. Back in 2010, i was target number one at that point in the recall election. And so many people across this country reached out here in New Hampshire and elsewhere, and made a 20 dollar, or 25 donation. A lot of people at home reached out and went online and made phone calls for us. Most importantly, a lot of people said they prayed for us. The recall for us and our family, even with 100,000 protesters, even with the Death Threats and all the other nonsense, the support meant the world to us. So thank you to all of you here who did that along the way. When we had all the protesters i remember Time Magazine had the headline, dead man walker. They didnt think i was going to get past the recall, let alone get reelected. We knew that our reforms worked. I remember our polls were so bad about this point in the spring of 2011 that they thought, you know, there was no way we could win. Yet two things happened. By that fall, when our kids and all the other kids went to Public Schools, the schools that used our reforms found that their schools with the same or better. Then in december, when property tax bills came out and after a dozen years of property taxes going way up, property taxes in our state actually went down. I am proud to say today, in my state, property taxes are lower today than four years ago when we started. [applause] Governor Walker and we knew that would make a difference. Sure enough, when people saw they didnt have to see the tv ads attacking us, they didnt have to believe all the protesters, when they can see for themselves that the reforms were working, the tides started to change. By june 2012, we won that election. In june of that year with a higher percentage of more actual votes cast than we had in november 2010 two years earlier. That shows that results matter right . [applause] and the reason i tell you that is not just for background. The reason i tell you that is because i look at america today, i have a lot of the same mores that we first had when we first thought about running for governor. Many years ago, 2009, we sat down and talked about, thought about, prayed about getting in the race for governor. In our state, we havent carried the state for republican since 1984. That was when i was in high school and still had a full head of hair. But when i think back to that, back early 2009, we knew it would be tough in our state to run and win. But we knew we had to. Because we were worried for a sense, then in high school, that they would grew up in the great state we grew up in. As a parent, that is unacceptable. So we got to the election, we won that title. It was all the better because when we faced all the grief we did four years ago, it was worth it because if it had just been about a title or position, we might have backed down. But because we knew it was because of our sons, matt and alex, and all the sons and daughters like them and yet to be born, we knew it was with standing up and fighting for. We knew that even though the groups we knew the tactics they were using in our state are like the texas tactics they use around the country. Instead of intimidating us, it reminder us exactly who elected us. From that point toward, we never lost floor. And that is what we need more of in america today. [applause] today, as much as i am proud, as jennifer talked about, the transformational changes we have made in our state, i am proud of the fact that for my sons and their generation, i can say that today not only is the state that are, it is as good or better than it was when i was growing up. And that was my goal because i wanted my kids to grow up in a better place than we did. [applause] but i have to tell you, as a parent, im worried. I am worried for our country. Im worried about my sons and your sons and daughters, my nieces enjoy nieces and nephews and granddaughters and grandsons, i am more in that we are headed down that same path that worried me years ago. But i am an optimist. So i am not just worried. I have optimism that if we can put the kind of leadership in place in this country that we have done in my state and many of my neighboring states, where commonsense leader stood up and said we are going to change things, we are going to lead in the way that common sense republican principles i believe we can do the same thing in america. Let me give you three examples. When i look at this country, i think there is a clear contrast out there, particularly when it comes to growth. You listen to the president of the United States, and he talked a lot i try to listen to him to see, as an american first, i hope for the best. But i hear our president , and many of his allies like clinton and others out there, who i think you grow the economy and washington. Last year, there is a report that showed that six of the top 10 wealthiest counties in america are not in new york or california or florida or texas. Do you know where they are at echo in and around washington. In and around washington. I believe in america. We believe, the vast majority of the rest of us from outside of washington which, by the way, i call 68 square miles surrounded by reality. That is what washington is. The rest of us in reality understanding that we grow the economy all across this great country. That people create jobs, not the government. It is about time we have leaders who want to grow this country. [applause] it is why it is why im proud of the fact we have lowered the burden and our state and other state in glowing unemployment. Done so by lowering the burden on hard paying taxpayers. Some question my section my session with lowering taxes. We have lowered them. Why are you so obsessed with lowering tax burdens . I have a simple way of explaining this. On every six last month, we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary. [applause] she is probably amazed that she hung with me that long, but particularly after the last four years, but but i made a critical mistake not long after we were married. I went to Kohls Department stores and i bought something at the price it was marked that. [laughter] right . Now, i have been trained well. I know, after many years of practice, that if i am going to buy a shirt, i go to a rack that says it was 29 99, now it is 19 99. And i take it up to the Cash Register along with michaels credit card. And then i take the mailer that we get, because we shop there a lot, and sometimes it is 50 or 20 or if we are really lucky, it is 30 , right . We get 30 off, and then we pose out the kohls cash and we laid on the counter. And next thing you know, they are paying me to buy that shirt, right . Right . [applause] a little aside on this, i was exit wearing a sweater yesterday i actually stopped by kohls and bought the sweater in the rack where it was 70 off, and we paid one dollar for it with our kohls cash. Living the high life. [laughter] [applause] i say how does a company like coals make money . They make it off the volume, right . They make it up on them. They could charge 29. 99 for the shirt, or they could lower the price, brought in the value, and broadened the volume and the thing you know, all of us are buying things at a place like that. That is like your money, the taxpayers money. I could charge you a higher rate and few of you could afford it or i could lower the rates, have more are people participate in the economy. And that is how you feel the economy going forward, right . [applause] beyond just growth, which means doing things like repealing obamacare and ask the having an Energy Policy in addition to growth, there is reform. And think about the contrast here. This president and his allies tend to measure success and government by how many people are dependent on the government. By how many people are on medicaid and food stamp and unemployment. We should measure success by just the opposite. By how many people are no longer dependent on the government, right . [applause] we understand that true freedom and prosperity doesnt come from the mighty hand of the government. It comes from empowering people to live their own lives and control their own destinies. Think about it. If you dont remember anything else when i was a kid growing up in that small town of delfin, i dont ever remember when of my classmates sang to me, hey scott, someday when we grew up i want to become dependent on the government, right . Nobody signed my yearbook saying, good luck, scott, being dependent on the government. I met some amazing people who have come here from other places around the world. Some really amazing people. I wish my kids would hear their stories more often because to a person, though was that i have the ones who i have met who have been successful Small Business owners today are people who tell me the reason they came here was not to become dependent on the government, the reason they came to america because it was one of the last places left in the world where it doesnt matter what class you were born into, doesnt matter what your parents did for a living. In america, you can be and do anything you want. The opportunity to all of us but the option should be up to each and every one of us. [applause] i have to tell you, that is something i learned a long time ago. My father was a preacher, my mom was a secretary parttime, raised my brother and i. My grandparents on one side were farmers, my mom didnt have indoor plumbing until she went off to junior high. My dads side, my grandfather was a machinist for 40 years. From all my parents and grandparents, i did not inherit same or fortune. What i got was more important. I got the believe that in america, if you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to do or be anything you want. That has slipped away and we need to restore that back again in america. [applause] and so i think one of the best ways we reform the federal government is by taking power out of washington and sending it back to the states. You send it back in big areas up there, right . That is the way have a government that is more efficient, more effective, and more accountable to the taxpayers. At the on just growth and reform, something that is heavy on my heart these days is safety. Safety. I dont call it national security, i call it safety. Because when you see those images of the jordanian who was burned alive in a cage, when you see the beheadings of the christians from egypt or others around the world, i have to tell you, that makes me worry not just for myself and my country it makes me worried for my children and your children and anyone else who would ever dare to travel around this world. And that is not right. And that is not right. What frustrates me is that we have a president who draws a line in the sand and somehow allows people to cross it did a president who calls isis a jv squad. Calls iran a place we can do business with. A president who gave russia a reset button a reset button. Think about that. We need a president who stands up and says our biggest threat is islamic radicalism and terrorism and will do whatever it takes to weed that out. [applause] we need a president who will do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. [applause] who understands that we have an ally in israel, we should start acting like it. [applause] who understands that radical islamic terrorism is like a virus, and if you dont take it out entirely, it is like a virus in your theater. It will keep coming back. I dont about you, but i would rather take the fight to them rather than wait till it comes to us on american soil. [applause] and so i am more about where and so i am worried about where this country is headed. And i am worried about our position. But i am an optimist. And i believe, just as we have in the past, we all rise up to this occasion again. Years ago, i mentioned i grew up in a small town, my family didnt have a bunch of money, so even though i loved history, i loved our founders, i thought of them like superheroes, i never had a chance to go to washington or philadelphia or anywhere else. And so, not long after i was elected governor in the fall of 2011, we got a chance to go to philadelphia. We were there for our governors conference. We got up early one morning and wanted to go by independence hall. We went by liberty bell, and we went to independence hall. I got in there as someone who thought of our founders as superheroes, bigger than life. I thought to myself, man, im going to be blown away. I got up there early in the morning, and i looked at the tables and the desks and the chairs, and i thought to myself, these are just like the chairs and desks we sit in today. They are just a little older. And it dawned on me. These were ordinary people. These were ordinary people who did something quite extraordinary. These are people who didnt just risked their political careers these are people who did not just risked their business ventures. These were patriots who risked their lives. For the freedoms we all hold today. Moments like that are amazing to me because what they do is restore the believe in the american spirit as it reminds me that not just in those moments but all throughout her history and moments of crisis, be it economic or spiritual, what has made america exceptional, what has made is arguably the greatest country in the history of the world has been in moments of crisis like that. They had been men and women of courage who have been willing to stand up and think more about the future of their children and their grandchildren that i thought about their own political futures. I tell you here today, let this be one of those moments in history. Let this be a time in history when we can look back and tell future generations what we did to make America Great again. Thank you for the chance to come on out. God bless you. We will be back in New Hampshire. [applause] i think i think they like what you said. [applause] fantastic and the governor is going to stay and take a couple of questions. People will we are going to set out with me making a quick announcement. We havent told anybody else this. Not our final, but the next announcement we are going to make for the primary summit. April 17 and 18th. We want to see her there. Governor walker will be joining us for that, as well. [applause] thank you for that. Ok, we have some folks with microphones. Jim has his hand up right here. Allie over on this side. Can you hear me . All right. The board of directors have the board of directors of the governors of New Hampshire have asked me to give you this hat. We hope youll wear the hat often and keep up the good work. [applause] i also have a question. Thank you. It looks great. [applause] looks great. I am also president of the New Hampshires date council of vietnam veterans. I understand that you are, and based on the comments you made a little more than receptive to the idea that we might be going back to the middle east. I am wondering what your objective in the middle east would be . What the walker administrations grand strategy to achieve that objective would be . And how it is going to differ from the last two president s, in my opinion, counterproductive efforts . Governor walker first off thank you for your service. A tip of the hat for that. We can never say it enough particularly for our vietnam veterans. I think you can appreciate this as much as anyone else here. No matter who the commander in chief is in the future, anytime the commander in chief mexico any time the commanderinchief makes a decision that will ultimately involve american men and women being called in the harms way, we need to have a Clear Mission and we need to follow through on that mission. [applause] with a caveat here, i want to be clear because i dont want to get ahead of the game, but should we choose to get into this race, and we are feeling pretty strong about reactions like we heard here today and others across the country, and should we be blessed through on the votes of people not only here in New Hampshire, but around the country, one of the things i would take most usually is not just being present, but the commander in chief because i have to tell you, im not a bracelet person, but i have three bracelet on my arms that come from goldstar families. Funerals i have gone to as governor or before for their sons. As i think about a question like that, timmy, i think about the fact that personally i dont ever want to go to a funeral like that again. But i also know for those sons and for the sons and daughters that they represent across this country, i also want to make sure that i can look those families in the eye and say their son or other sons and daughters like them did not die in vain. And that we will live up to the mighty goals that led them into serving our country in the first place. To me, i look at what i believe is not well defined by some in our political discourse today, and that is i think are clear struggle right now is radical islamic terrorism. I see it embodied right now in syria and libya, but growing elsewhere across the world. And i believe fundamentally when you listen to the leaders of organizations like isis and others like them, it is clear. It is not to stay in the middle east. It is eventually to come back to american soil and cause harms harm to american. My belief is, just like a virus in a computer, that we need to go into whatever length is required to make sure we eradicate radical islamic terrorism where it is at before it washes up. I dont think that means you automatically go with ground troops, although, unlike this president , i will not signal to our enemies how far we will go. Because i think [applause] i think that is a problem, even his former secretary of defense has said that is a mistake because they will just eat you out. They will just wait you out. But i think we should not be doing it alone. First and foremost, you have to consult with the congress. You have to listen to those who advise you, the generals in the field to get a real feel for what is going on, as well as your intelligence community. Restating israel as a prime alec ally, but also working with england, japan, germany, canada, and others out there. I believe there are partners in the coalition we can draw on from the arab world like jordan, like egypt is what has happened to their own citizens out there and have a true coalition force. And then we had to take action depending i do not i am not proposing to engage full scale puts on the ground, but im not taking that off the table because i think we need to be clear what our objective is. And our objective has to be a generational act to make sure we eradicate radical islamic terrorism before it comes to our shore. [applause] [indiscernible] hello . Yes, i guess it is on. Ok. You had mentioned earlier about taking power away from the federal government and moving it to the states. So i am interested in removing powertel from the federal power from the federal government and actually giving it to parents as people who pay taxes to their local schools. So i have a twopart question on education. Can you please tell us what you have done in your state, if you eradicate common core that is causing havoc in our schools right now . That is the first question. And the second question has to do with the reauthorization of no child left behind because jeb bush was in after last night and in New Hampshire last night and says he wants to reauthorize a failed program. I cant figure that out. But could you tell us what your thoughts are on hr five . And would you reauthorize something that we all know is a failure . Governor walker when i talked about the three buckets, growth, reform, and safety. I think we need to move whole skill portions of the Government Back to the states, or in some cases back to the local governments. Like education, which would ultimately put those levels of government more accountable to everyday taxpayers. Not every level of government, obviously, is perfect, but it gets closer. I would move those to the states, and areas like transportation, i would predispose the senate all the to send it all the way back to the school. I tell people take one dollar out of your purse or your wallet and ask yourself where would you better have that spent . Is it better spent sending it to washington, where they take all this money often put it into the bureaucracy and her school eventually gets pennies on the dollar back. Or is it better spent keeping that dollar area schools in the first place where your school board members, teachers, parents, and others can make a difference . That is something i say, not just as an answer to you. I think we are better off in that regard. So that answers your other part. In no child left behind or anything else that, i would rather have the money and the authority go back to the local level. I think we are better off in that regard. To local government. [applause] and on the other part, i am all for high standards. I am pleased to say that after four years of our reform, even though the left said it would just annihilate Public Education in our state which was cut of interesting for me because we had two sons in Public Schools at that time like, why would i want to do that to my kids . But the reality is because of our reforms that put the power back in the hands of the taxpayers and the people they elect to run our School Boards because of what we have done, we know seniority. We have no tenure, we can hire and fire based on merit. We get paid based on performance. [applause] that means our schools can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms. And the good news is, our scores are better. A ct scores of the second best in the country. Restoration rates are up. Graduation rates are up. I like that. But i believe in high standards set at the local level. I do want someone from all of our state telling me what high standards are. I want those to be set by people at the local level, and our state. It is weird, we have a separate department of public instruction, which is independently elected, so i dont have a cabinet position to say to the secretary of education, do this. By statute, i have to make those changes in the budget. The budget i presented on the birther removes any legal on february 3 removes any requirement from any School District in our state to have to abide by common core. And it removes all funding for the smart balance test, which is tied into common core. [applause] she asked if i liked the visor on this. It is perfect. I am proud to say that i signed the law that made wisconsin the fortinet state in the country do have concealed carry, as well as the 49th state in the country to have concealed carry as well as castle doctrine. So i appreciate that, as well. [applause] Governor Walker, i want Governor Walker shouted out and i will repeat it. I want to thank you personally for what you did in wisconsin. For a to work in wisconsin. [indiscernible] i want to start by thanking you for that. My question is, one of the biggest threats to this country is the debt and the overreach of the federal government. And they would not be able to connect other policies if we didnt have a federal income tax because as long as they can take on monday, there is nothing we can do about it. As long as they can take our money, there is nothing we can do about it. And i was wondering your stance on abolishing the federal income tax. Because as long as they have it, [indiscernible] Governor Walker i didnt propose that, although it sounds pretty tempting. Certainly, i think lower rates. We have talked about that and looked at that. Right now, not being a declared candidate, but should i get into that race, that is something we will on in the growth category. I will say, as i mentioned before, one, putting more money back in the hands of the hard thing taxpayers, which is your money to begin with, is a much better way to grow the economy rather than the governments socalled the millis, which has a much lower rate of return than if you and other job critters had the money out there. You and other job creators had the money out there. But for your larger point about the size and scope of the federal government, to me it is part of the reason why workforce investment dollars social service programs, part of the challenge we have controlling our government both in terms of its size and for the limited part that is left that should be under the government for example, defense we dont do a very good job at the department of defense giving the resources we need, yet we spent all this money and all these other areas. I would either get rid of major portions of it or send vast majorities back to state, local governments, and ultimately back to the taxpayer. The closer you get to the people, the boy can hold your government accountable. [applause] terrific. The governor wants to have time to shake cans and say hi to all of you, so i think that will be our last question. I want to come back to the next wrasse roots trading, even though Governor Walker probably wont be at that one. We need you to keep coming back all through the year.

Susan brooks of indiana has the republican response and talks about the House Benghazi Select Committee request for former secretary of state Hillary Clintons emails. President obama hi, everybody. Earlier this week, i visited with students at georgia tech to talk about the importance of Higher Education in the new economy and how we can make it more affordable. In an economy increasingly built on innovation, the most important skill you can sell is your knowledge. Thats why Higher Education is, more than ever, the surest ticket to the middle class. But just when its never been more important, its also never been more expensive. The average undergrad who borrows to pay for college ends up graduating with about 28,000 in student loan debt. Thats why my administration has worked hard to make college more affordable. We expanded tax credits and pell grants, enacted the largest reform to student loan programs in history, and fought to keep Interest Rates on Student Loans low. Weve acted to let millions of graduates cap loan payments at 10 of their income, so they dont have to choose between paying the rent and paying back their debt. Ive sent congress my plan to bring the cost of Community College down to zero because two years of Higher Education should be as free and universal as high school is today. But all of us elected officials, universities, Business LeadersEverybody Needs to do more to bring down college costs. Which is why this week, i unveiled another way that we can help more americans afford college. It doesnt involve any new spending or bureaucracy. Its a simple declaration of values what i call a student aid bill of rights. It says that every student deserves access to a quality affordable education. Every student should be able to access the resources to pay for college. Every borrower has the right to an affordable repayment plan. And every borrower has the right to Quality Customer service, reliable information, and fair treatment, even if they struggle to repay their loans. Thats it. Just a few simple principles. But if we all rally around these principles, theres a lot that colleges, lenders, and the people you sent to washington and to your state legislatures can do to realize them across the country. So if you believe in a student aid bill of rights that will help more americans pay for a quality education, im asking you to visit whitehouse. Gov collegeopportunit whitehouse. Gov collegeopportunit y. Sign your name to this declaration. Tell your families, and your friends, and fellow students. Im going to ask members of congress, and lenders, and as many Business Leaders as i can find. Because making sure that students arent saddled with debt before they even get started in life is in all our interests. In america, a Higher Education cannot be a privilege reserved for only the few. It has to be available to everybody whos willing to work for it. Thanks, and have a great weekend. Rep. Susan brooks hello, im congresswoman susan brooks from the great state of indiana. Every morning, as we enjoy our first cup of coffee and get ready for the day ahead, there are tens of thousands of americans already on the job representing the United States at diplomatic posts around the world. They are deeply committed to this work, and their protection is one of our governments most solemn responsibilities. That is why i agreed to serve on a select committee to investigate the terrorist attack in benghazi, libya, that took the lives of four americans on september 11, 2012. Ive brought to this assignment the same commitment to fairness and truth that guided my service as u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of indiana. When we began our work, trey gowdy, the chairman of the select committee, told us facts are not republican or democrat. When four americans serving their country die on foreign soil, we have a duty to uncover the whole truth wherever it may lead and whoever it may involve. As part of this pursuit, we requested documents from the state department, which oversees our diplomatic posts and personnel. As hillary clinton, the secretary of state at the time said herself, she was in charge of their security. It was through our investigation that we became aware that secretary clinton was using personal email for official state department business. And only when we pressed for more information did we find out that she relied exclusively on personal email hosted by her own personal server as secretary of state. Not only that, she also kept those emails from the state department when she left. Once this was discovered, it was she and her attorneys alone who decided what emails should be returned to the government and then just a fraction of those were released to our committee. Thats right. It was not out of a sense of transparency that she acted. It was our select committees oversight that compelled secretary clinton to hand over some of her emails. The key word there, of course, is some. You see, right now there is no way for us to know whether we have all of the state Department Communications that rightfully belong to the american people. The only way to truly know is by having access to secretary clintons personal server. Why is this so important . Because these Communications May help us answer vital questions. We need to know why the security at our embassy was left inadequate. Why were requests for additional security denied . Why was our response not sufficient . Why were some members of the administration slow to acknowledge a terrorist attack had actually occurred . It is simply unacceptable for so many questions to remain unanswered. And it is unjust and simply wrong for anyone to withhold evidence that may lead to the answers. That is why we are asking secretary clinton to turn her server over to a neutral thirdparty arbiter. After a complete inventory, this arbiter can make a determination as to which emails should be public and which should remain private. These decisions would be completely impartial and independent. President obama promised you the most Transparent Administration in history but his first secretary of state has fallen painfully short. By handing her server over to a neutral, thirdparty arbiter secretary clinton can help us move forward with figuring out what happened to our people. Because this isnt about hillary clinton, or trey gowdy, or me. Its about the four brave americans we lost. These men were public servants. They were also fathers, sons friends, colleagues and neighbors. The people who knew them, who loved them, deserve the truth. The government they served has a duty to provide that truth and do whatever is necessary to make sure it never happens again. Thank you for listening. And to all our Foreign Service and Diplomatic Security officers, thank you for what you do for us every day. Monday night clyburn on the Net Neutrality ruling. What i am proposing we do is overhaul the Lifeline Program and make it concurrent with the information age. The prices and opportunities have been explosive for the rest of us. Get those providers out of the certification business. That is the number one problem we have been
