well, if i might to make sure we are not making a mistake senator coops. it is my hope that if you are confirmed and we do make progress on bipartisan criminal justice reform that as attorney general you will carry out whatever legislative decisions might be made by this body. last let me say in my six years here in addition to not working on a number of bipartisan proposals on criminal justice reform you have repeatedly voted against congressional attempts to prohibit torture in the military on text or the interrogation context and to defend enhanced interrogation practices. are you clear now that our statutes prohibit torture and if the president were to rover yid that clear legal authority what actions would you take? on your previous question i would note the federal prison population has already dropped 10 or more percent and will drop
another 10,000 this year. what is happening now is reducing the federal population. this law only dealt with the federal prison popula
price in serving our country. we can answer that question tomorrow resoundingly yes, absolutely! think about how generations of americans throughout our history have come together to meet the tests of their time, our parents, our grandparents, our great grandparents defended democracy. they built the great american middle class. they marched for civil rights and voting rights for workers rights and women s rights. for lgbt rights an the rights of people with disabilities. and tomorrow we face the test of our time. so remember, it s not just my name or donald trump s name on the ballot, it s the kind of
in you believe we need to reform our criminal justice system so everyone is treated fairly, then you have to vote. and if you believe if you believe we should never write discrimination in to our laws [ cheers and applause ] well then, you know, you know, north carolina, you have to vote to get rid of hp-2. now, this is so energizing, we could keep going with a long

but she was never a government employee. the fact in this lurid story, the taxpayers of alabama were not paying her salary. and whether or not she was sh stooping the governor, having someone working there that was not a government employee? well, the group that apparently was paying her is called the alabama council for excellent government. ace gov. .com was their website. but when the relationship became a national sex scandal, they disappeared their website. this is their website today. its jaups nothing. just a little place holder in case you might want to build something at acegov.com because there s nothing there now. in the middle of this raging story with national implications, there s this black hole, this group who was apparently paying this woman who was in the governor s office every day, this group does not answer its phones, they don t directed towards institutions that provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior. mike pence ran for congress s

the speech is expected to last about 35 minutes, after which, we ll talk with our panel and bring you highlights from his remarks, but we obviously will bring president obama in full, we expect him to come out in the next minute or so. this is something george washington we were talking about was the first president, obviously who chose to give a farewell address. right, when he did it, he did it because there was no such thing as a two-term president. he could have been president for years and years and years, and he wanted to make clear to america that we didn t have a king anymore. sounds like we could be seeing the president? oh, maybe not. [ applause ] certainly sounded like the music coming out, but that was the purpose of that is to say, look, we are a democracy, we are not a monarchy. so that s where the tradition started. let s listen in.
ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the 44th president of the united states, barack obama. [cheers and applause] [cheers and a
that sometimes sets americans against one another and instead make big goals and i ve set forth some big goal, getting the economy to work for everyone, not just those at the top. making sure we have the best education system from preschool to college and making it affordable and so much else. if we set those goals and go together to try to achieve them, there s nothing in my opinion that america can t do. so that s why i hope that we will come together in this campaign. obviously, i m hoing to earn your vote, hoping to be b elected in november and i can promise you, i will work with every american. i want to be the president for all americans. regardless of your political beliefs, where you come from, what you look like, your religion. i want us heal our country and bring it together. our children and grandchildren deserve. thank you. you have two minutes. well, i actually agree with that. i agree with everything she said. i began this campaign because i was so tired of seeing
sores more than 300 points that say surge to an all-time record fueled by glowing reviews of president trump s congressional address. he kept a low profile today tweeting nonl all caps, thank you, no bragging or twitter rants just two words from his personal account. 47 million people tuned in to watch the pruz president s address and he put a lot of asks acts on the table, haej healthcare, immigration, tax cuts, on and on and today the rubber met the road. meeting with republican leadership to turn all of those words and promises into actual action. we re just here to start the process. it begins as of now and we think we re going to have tremendous success. david purdue was in that meeting and he s out front tonight i m going to speak with him i want to begin with jim acosta he is at the white house and uncharacteristically to say the least, quiet day for president trump. that s right pu white house officials from the president on down are still slating after last night s sp
