Peace. It is not targeted at a nation. Willapan and u. S. Alliance function in its entirety, if japan is exposed to crisis. Communicating this, the power less asent disputes is rig a result is greater as a result. Exert my utmost to strengthen the japanese peoples understanding of this inflation. I believe that the japanese understanding of history is not in of warm stop how do you want the japanese people to understand the statement and what message do you want to communicate to the people . Abe i drafted this statement with the hope of having as many people as possible approved and support it. Based on this premise, i want basis of a the aces t andre with asian other. Statement, ihis did not want to adhere to statements like japan making a mistake. I want to draw lessons from history. So, i assembled the Advisory Panel and asked the experts to undertake that work. When we turn our eyes to the world, the conflicts and disputes have not ceased. Whether ukraine, South China Sea, or east china sea, we cannot allow attempts to unilaterally change status quo anywhere in the world. Furthermore, the realities of poverty and terrorism are becoming more serious. That sending out this message in this history of learning from the lessons of temporallyill have a significant contribution to the rest of the world. This concludes the conference.

We see our schedule. Among the candidates he spoke yesterday, chris christie. His remarks are about 20 minutes. Mr. Christie all right. Good morning. No speech for me this morning. I want all 20 minutes to be your questions. Lets get to your questions. The lady in the cubs hat. My question is how would you secure the border . Mr. Christie question is how would i secure the border when i become president. Or things we need to do first in urban areas around the border, we need to build a wall or dense because they are heavily populated, and that is the best way to do it. Second, we need to put fbi agents, dea agents in with Border Patrol agents to interdict the drugs and guns coming across our border. Third, we need to use electronic surveillance. We are using drones all over the world. We should use them on the southern border with cameras and other surveillance to make sure we put our human resources, Border Patrol officers, and others in the right places. They are difficult to patrol on foot. Fourth and most importantly is every employer in america has to use everify. The reason these folks are coming across the border is to work, and if they know you cannot be employed in this country if you are not here legally, they will not come because they are only coming for a job. Here is what we need to do to employers because they are part of the problem, too they need to be fined double whatever their profit is from hiring cheaper, illegal labor. If we do those things, that will secure the border, and then we can move forward and grow our economy. Be careful, do not go for just one easy answer. This is a tough problem. We have not solved it for 30 years. Lets use all 4 tools to do it effectively and efficiently. I enforced the law for seven years as u. S. Attorney a newly six as governor. When i get to the white house, i will know how to enforce the law at the southern border. Yes, maam, back there in the purple shirt. [inaudible] gov. Christie she said alzheimers is the most expensive disease in america. This is part of the reason i put forward an entitlement Reform Program to save over 1. 2 trillion. The National Institutes of health, their budget only went up. 1 . Were not spending money on what we need to spend to improve the quality of peoples lives. We need to partner with the private sector and the government to save it. We can find a treatment and a cure for alzheimers, extend peoples lives to make the quality of life that are, but that will only happen if the government invest, but also, we need to protect the pharmaceutical companies in this country as well. They are spending a lot of their private money to try to come up with cures and treatments as well, and then we let people steal their intellectual property. We cannot let that happen. I will protect our pharmaceutical companies and a hard work that they are doing and then increase the budget for the National Institutes of health and the National Science foundation so we can get these great doctors and scientists in the United States to have all service be the next place where we bring an effective treatment and cure. We need that for our loved ones and we need that to make our country a better, more productive place. [indiscernible] gov. Christie first off, new jersey has already sent an our objection to the Clean Power Plan the president has put forward. The president regulates things in a way that makes no sense, kills jobs in america and kills technology and advancement of america. What we need to do this is what we do in new jersey. I think each state should be able to do the thing that works best for them. I drive throughout iowa and see wind power all over the state. It makes sense in a big wideopen state to be able to have wind power be part of what we do, to have a cleaner footprint in terms of our energy and lowercost electricity as well. In new jersey, though, we are the most densely populated state in america. 8. 9 Million People in that little space. If we put wind mills up, it would be a riot. Heres what were going to do go sit up on a bar and say to someone to name the top three states in america in solar energy production. They will get the first two because the first two are california and arizona, but youre going to win on number three because number three is the garden state of new jersey. Solar power works in our state. You dont need as much space for it. We use natural gas, and we are the Third Largest solar producer in america. You know what that means . We have reached our 2020 clean air goals already without this intervention run the obama epa that is killing jobs and killing opportunity in our country. As president , i will take the same approach. If its best for iowans, its good for the rest of the country as well. Let new jersey do what they do and all the other states do what they do as well. In the back, the lady with the blue hat. [inaudible] gov. Christie if im president of the United States, i dont think anybody who knowingly came here illegally should become a citizen. I just dont think they should become a citizen. I think american citizenship i think american citizenship is an enormous gift, and if you came here by breaking the law, i dont believe you should citizenship. Well have to figure out what we do. Americans do not want us adding to the number. But by the same token, we do not want people to be rewarded for knowing illegal conduct. It does not make sense. Youre just encouraging that conduct even more. Thats what i would do as president , and we would work to make sure that the folks that are here are treated fairly. [indiscernible] gov. Christie the question is on National Service, americorps in particular. They were an enormous help during hurricane sandy. Volunteers from all over america helped us to recover. We are certainly grateful for it. I want to expand National Service even more, as part of the way to deal with the student debt crisis we have in this country. Students are graduating with six figures of student debt to go to college, and they have a mortgage. They cannot buy a home or get married or have children. One of the options i want to give to students is to server National Service to our country to help pay off their student loans. They can help make their communities, states, countries a better place. Everybody wins and it helps to lower debt. Thats what i would do as president. Yes, sir, superman. [indiscernible] gov. Christie the question was fuel standards, and ive been clear on this. It goes in coordination with this ladys question we need more options, not less. We need options to make energy more affordable. On renewable fuel standards, we should enforce the laws on the books now. The law is there. Its the Obama Administration that refuses to enforce the law. The law should be enforced here. What i say to other candidates make up your mind. Do not say one thing and Something Different in New Hampshire and different in south carolina. You have a position, tell the people of the country what your position is. When im president , we will enforce the law that is on the books and all the laws that are on the books. [applause] [inaudible] gov. Christie question is what is the plan to curb the influence of big money. We tried every different law and every different way, the problems lawyers write these laws, and then we hire lawyers to figure out how to get around the laws they just wrote. What i would do is let anybody donate any amount of money they want to donate to any candidate, but they have to reveal that. So that you know who is giving me money and who is giving every other candidate money. Theres a lot of money being given with no transparency at all. You do not know who is giving us the money. What youre really getting at is how we are influenced by the money. Its do we change our policies . If you see someone gives me a lot of money and 24 hours later i reveal it two weeks later, i change a position i had before to be in line with the person who gave me money, you can make the conclusion you want to make. We will always end up having money involved in politics. 330 Million People in this country, we got to communicate to them effectively to try to get elected, so lets take all the curtains away from it and make me responsible, too. If i get the money, i have to spend the money. You should be able to hold us responsible, and thats the way i would fix it. [indiscernible] gov. Christie we have a system of laws in this country, and those laws need to be followed. Religious organizations should be protected. Other businesses who want to do business should have to do business. My oath of office is to enforce the laws of the state of new jersey, not the ones i like or agree with, but all the laws. Religious organizations absolutely should be protected. Everyone should be able to freely practice the religion the way they see fit, but businesses should not be allowed to discriminate, no. [indiscernible] gov. Christie i could only hear part of what you said. I think it was about Scientific Research and marijuana. I have a clear position on marijuana in general its illegal in the United States of america except in specific instances where its used for medical purposes. The president is allowing certain states to go ahead and use it recreationally. In my opinion thats wrong. If folks want to make marijuana legal, go to congress and change the law, but we should not have ad hoc one state at a time changing laws. I will tell you, it creates lawlessness in this country. Thats how we get sanctuary cities, also. Because certain mayors do not want to enforce immigration laws. We should enforce the laws that are on the books. If you want to change those laws, go to congress and change them. When im president , we will enforce the laws that are on the books and enforce them aggressively. [applause] [indiscernible] gov. Christie thats a really interesting thought. [indiscernible] gov. Christie youre minor league compared to what i deal with. Good day. Yes, sir, in the back. I could not hit the rest of it. Move up a little. [indiscernible] mr. Christie he asked about russia and china slowly getting more influence in the world and what i would do to change it. This president has been the weakest president on or in policy that we have had in my lifetime. He makes jimmy carter look strong. And the fact is here is what i do first thing is we need to make sure we do more military exercises in eastern europe. We need to put Missile Defense back in poland to make sure the russians understand they have taken crimea, they are in ukraine now no further. No further for russia than what they have done already, and mr. Putin needs to understand there will be a president who will not put up with his adventurism around the world. And china, they are building these artificial islands in the South China Sea to try to make sure they restrict shipping lanes. Those are free, open international waters. We need to rebuild our military. This president has weakened our military in a way that has made america less influential in the world, so we need to rebuild our army to 500,000 active duty soldiers. We need to make sure we have the 350 ships in the navy and 2600 aircraft. I would rebuild our military, send a clear signal to russia and china that we dont want a war, but we are not going to allow them to tread on the United States of america. [indiscernible] mr. Christie he asked about the economy, the drop in the stock market this week. The devaluation of the chinese currency. To strengthen our economy, we dont need to worry about china. We need to worry about what is happening in the United States of america. Our taxes are too high. The taxes are rigged for the rich. We need to get rid of all these entitlements not entitlements, rather, loopholes, and these exceptions, and we need to just keep 2 Home Mortgage deduction and the charitable contribution deduction, and lower our rates 28 of the highend and 8 in the lowend. Let people keep their money, lower Corporate Tax rates as well so we can start creating jobs again, and there are 2 trillion offshore. They will not come back because barack obama wants to tax them to death. I give them a onetime chance to come and bring that money back in as long as they will invest in american jobs, get jobs growing until our kids get out of school and can be employed and work hard. I live at home with a dog. I regard him as a member of my own family. He jumps in my lap any time i sit down. He likes to play tag. I share food with him. He always wants to have some of my food. Not unlike many americans, i regard this dog as a member of my family, and yet, other animals if dog had happened to be born a pig, you would want to torture and kill this animal. Mr. Christie this is a question about hog crates [indiscernible] mr. Christie let me be really clear about that. When Something Like that happens and im here in iowa, man, i feel right at home. Feels like im back in jersey for a couple of minutes. Thank you, iowa, for doing that. Second, let me be really clear. I believe that farmers should be able to make the decision about how best to raise their livestock, not government bureaucrats. I veto that bill twice in new jersey. I thank them for the opportunity. The iran deal is the single worst thing the president has done in seven years as president , and that is a high bar. We cannot permit israel to be threatened by Nuclear Weapons. We cannot permit the United States to be threatened by Iranian Nuclear weapons. If i were president of the United States, i would have walked away from that table and told the iranians when they were serious, and come back to talk to me, and when i am president , the iranians will know there is a new sheriff in the oval office. I mean what i say and what i mean, and the ayatollah would know that, too. [applause] [indiscernible] mr. Christie the gentleman from aarp shockingly wants to know about Social Security. Lets remember something a study was just done this had in seven to eight years, Social Security will be broke. We cannot allow that to happen. Social security is there to make sure that our elderly who pay into the system played by the rules, work hard, do not grow old in poverty, do not have to choose a between heat and rent and food. We are all living longer. We are all living longer. Women lived to 83 years old in america on average. Men live to 79. I see this lady smiling. Were catching up. We need to raise the retirement age two years, but we can save it in over 25 years. Thats one month a year. It will help our kids and grandkids have Social Security be there for them. The wealthiest americans do not need to get a Social Security check. The alternative is to raise taxes on everyone. Why would we want to give more money to the government for Social Security with a already lied to us and stole from the trust fund . Fix the benefits and make those security secure. [indiscernible] we need a larger military. [indiscernible] mr. Christie National Debt is out of control. Thats why ive said that 1. 2 trillion can be saved by making those reforms to entitlements. In new jersey as governor, i cut over 800 programs out of the budget and vetoed more spending lineitem vetoed more spending than any governor in new jersey
