Bad little baby, you were such a bad little baby, we made every payment. We would have sent you back if that was an option, so youre paid for. The reason i tell you all that, i want to share with you two things my dad would tell my brother and me every day. Mark twain says the older we get the smarter our parents become. You know, theres a lot of truth in that. I dont know about you but i hate the fact that as i get older im turning more and more in to my father. I say things he used to say to us that i hated.

Isil. We thought isis sounded better and would be more familiar to people even though the president refers to the group as isil. Brian why is there a difference between the president using isil and some people using Islamic State . Jessica the president doesnt want to call it the Islamic State because they claim to be a state, but they are not. He does not want to give them that credit. We called it isis just for editorial, to make it easier. Thats the only reason. Brian what was the reason to write the book . Jessica my editor asked me to write the book. It wasnt actually my idea.

And then, i realized that it is a very important topic and people really need to know about it. So thats why. Brian you have a coauthor, j. M. Berger. What role did he play .

What role did he play . Jessica i didnt know enough about social media. I told my agent, there is a guy on twitter who knows a lot about social media. Maybe i will make him a character in the book. My agent said, why dont you make him a coauthor . I barely knew the guy. I got to know him on twitter. I had only met him once. But it was a very good decision. He is a great guy. And we had fun working together. Brian what did he bring to the book . Jessica he has been communicating with terrorists on social media since they started using social media. So he really knows a lot about what they say, how they use social media. He developed software with someone from google to monitor their use of social media. He is also a good writer. He brought a lot to the book. Brian here is propaganda video from isis. [video clip] [mortar fire] [explosions] president obama our combat troops will not be returning to fight in iraq.

Expolice its jurisdiction over the con explicit jurisdiction over the countrys seat of government. The extent to which congress should oversee or intervene in the governance of the district is a debate for another day, but its clearly our responsibility. Current law compels congressional oversight and we must exercise responsibly that jurisdiction. That includes acting to stop legislation that clearly violates the constitutional freedoms of the citizens of the district. Mr. Speaker, its important to note that women are protected by law, both federal and d. C. , from discrimination on the basis of pregnan would actually give employers the right to fire an employee for the Reproductive Health care choices of their spouses or their children. The other side is saying its all right to fire someone because their boss doesnt like their wifes or even their Childrens Health care choices. Talk about restricting someones rights. It would take away a whole range of womens private decisions and mak
