Now we know that china russia, venezuela voted to approve this. They will vote to lift the u. S. Sanctions. The only power we have left to override the president s veto, and groups like aipac who i have met with the past several days who have to appeal to democrats, this is a bad deal. That is the only way that this whole process can be stopped. Why does it need to be stopped . It allows them to continue their Nuclear Weapons program. That is not why we passed the sanctions over the last decade. We passed the sanctions to dismantle their nuclear capability. The idea that it is for peaceful, Energy Purposes is laughable. The icbm capability can continue to go forward. You develop that to deliver a nuclear warhead. It will start a middle east arms race. When i was in saudi, they said, why are you negotiating with iran . Our allies are confused and do not know if they are still allies. They are strongly opposed to this. Now we see a Nuclear Arms Race in the middle east, egypt will look at
Because, you know what . I can look around this table and some of you have come in with innovative ideas that i had not thought about. I dont know if it will work, but there is enough evidence and logic to indicate we should try it. Trying to create a space for that is what we are working to do. Governor mccrory, governor walker. Governor mccrory madam, thank you. I have enjoyed your visit and your cookies and your lemonade at the executive mansion, i hope you enjoyed it. A really good time. First of all, i want to congratulate you on your comments on your focus on Mental Health and i include that in addiction because i think that is one of the most serious issues we are facing, as i have found out in my 2. Ive years in my 2. 5 years. The addiction is ending up in our prisons, emergency rooms, and our state prisons and that is not the solution. We have got to come up with a longterm partnership with the federal government, local government, and everyone involved to deal with this very
The region and that is worrisome obviously. In your opinion, do you believe that if we acted in a unilateral manner to impose new sanctions or reimpose existing sanctions, not based on breaking the nuclear dual but based on other activities that we could impose sanctions in the area. Congressman, we believe that the acts on terrorism and destabilization are an area of concern. We have been putting sanctions in place. We reserve the right to put parts delisted on the list again if they are violating terrorism or destabilization provisions. I think that we have powerful tools and i think the world knows we mean to use them and i believe our credibility in doing it has to be for real. We have to be listing people for reasons of terrorism and regional destabilize is. And you feel we have the tools. We definitely have powerful tools. I will yield back the remainder of my time. Thank you. We go to geoff duncan of South Carolina. Thank you. Secretary kerry there are still three or four americ
Mention is there are number of programs in the high schools to move people in a more vocational way. Bob lerman is here. There are apprenticeship programs that should be expanded. There are cte programs that get people into Community College occupational programs. Those are all fine and good. But if were talking about the people who arent at the most risk of not graduating high school, its really the direct employment. And secondly finding ways to link up, to have partnerships with Certificate Programs and very narrow occupational programs. And many of those programs are given by the four profits. Right . For many people the forprofits with the worst and theyre certainly examples of these forprofits being the worst. But there are, and you mentioned, james rosenbaum. He has positive views of what might be called the best practices for profits. They do much more counselling. Theyre much more hands on with the students. Theyre much more direct in getting them the training for direct emplo
Harsher penalties and least likely to be give an Second Chance and we see theyre more likely to live in communities with higher crime rates. Whether its reading at grade level by third grade or graduating from high school or unemployment, you see boys and young men of color double digit behind their peers. Then you have black boys make up 6 of the nations population but more than half of the nations murder victims. So you sit back and pause and realize theres something in the stream. So we should do something about it. At the same time though i think its important we dont forget the assetbased framing of boys and young men of color. We all know that phrase, you are what you eat. If youre told over and over again that youre not going anywhere, you start to believe that. As i meet with young people across the country, its amazing even at an early age how much pressure boys and young men of color feel like theyre under. There have recently been studies that come out that talk about whats
