You stood by me when things got tough. Sometimes things got pretty tough. Imagined thathave this would be my life. Think about it. As a young boy growing up in warren county, just a few miles from here, a town of 150 people, my father had a sixthgrade education. My mother was an immigrant. They raised six kids in a small, twobedroom house. We didnt know politicians. We didnt talk politics. When my this family hit rockbottom during the depression just a few months before i was born, my dad was out of work, he had been mining coal for most of his life. There was no work, there were no jobs. He had five kids with another on the way me. Life looked pretty dim. Life looked pretty hopeless. But then one day he got a card in the mail. He always later said that he got a card from Franklin Delano or roosevelt himself. He got a card in the mail for him to report to work at once for 40. 30 per month on the works project administration. [laughter] [applause] [applause] the project was over here no

Where the green grass grows home bys you cant go bon jovi plays] welcome, everyone. [applause] 37th steak fry. Imagine, 37 steak fries and we havent tried the steak yet. The grillers always wanted to talk about that. Know that iou to have a better winning streak than 40 years. In the congress. I have love of love and partnership with a wonderful woman by the name of ruth harkin. [applause] go on, get up, ruth. Of course, all of you know the story, but what the hack, i will say it again. Better me saying it than someone else. We both ran for office together in 1972. I ran for congress. Ruth ran for county attorney. The best politician one. [laughter] ill gi
Convinces me that we can meet those challenges and seize big opportunities too. We have the human and Natural Resources to do it. We have the knowledge to do it. We have the will if we decide to exercise it to do it. We can build a growing economy of shared prosperity and a more equal sharing of responsibility for a secure world. Thats what america has always done and its time to summon that spirit again. Too many people only get excited about president ial campaigns. Look, i get excited about president ial campaigns too. [applause] but those campaigns only happen every four years. And every two years youre electing members of congress and senators and state officials who will have a big say in the quality of your schools, your healthcare, your lives. So use the enthusiasm that iowa is so well known for every president ial year and channel that into these upcoming elections.

I again wish to congratulate nato for the successful performance of the campaign and i think i want to express my feelings and the feeling of gratitude to the president and the United States. Especially the iron dome system. The lives that were saved

Not much at all. But today they are both calling for war in syria. Graham is ghanelding massive attacks on the syrian military, dean is going even further than that on twitter, he called the president , quote a wimp for merely sending thousands of troops and launching tons of bombs at syria.

There is no question that now all these years later is Donald Trumps challenge. He has to take action. He has spoken to macron. What he ought too
