Standard TPs on problems with Obama and HRC foreign policy. Hits HRC on Benghazi, emails. Videos jumped around a bit.

Big h/t to Sean for help. Thank you!

Cotton Remarks

Trey Gowdy has never held a child till my son Gabriel.

You have a great delegation. House and senate. Thank you to Gov. Haley for appointing Tim Scott. Haley has showed grace and poise in troubling times. Between her and your congressional delegation "it's a great day in south Carolina"

It's also a great day to be a republican. Despite what media and dems (but I repeat myself) say, politics is not about one election cycle but governing. Under seven years of Obama, big government liberalism at home and weakness abroad, country is recoiling from democratic party.

We won house seats, senate seats, governor seats, state legislatures in the past several years.

We have too many defensive republicans. We have showed people that we can govern. We have past laws to help people. Sometimes governing means saying "no" like Tim Scott and I are saying to Obama for trying to replace Justice Scalia.

We have succeed because we kept the faith. No democratic majority can take that away from us. We believe that American is specially blessed to lead the world. My son is sick so I feel bad for leaving wife alone but I am hear to support those GOP values.

Meanwhile, look at dems. Have a choice between two socialists and they are going to choose the one under FBI investigation. It was irresponsible for HRC to set up private server, delete 30k emails. As intel committee member I have seen contents of recovered emails, can only imagine what the unrecovered looked like. Server was compromised like experts say. Am sure that Putin will tell FBI to not worry b/c he has emails backed up in Moscow.

Seriously, HRC reckless, criminal disregard for nations laws disqualifies her from being commander in chief.  She was also architect failed Obama foreign policy. Will come back to her later, will talk about the consequences of that policy.

I sit on intel committee. I have learned a lot about situations around the world. Its not as bad as you think-its much worse. I wish I was joking. World has grown more dangerous. Stakes could not be hire.

Would like to share personal story. I, like my dad, left school to go and defend the country. Was not a happy time in our house. Asked dad "how can it be wrong to serve when nuclear power plant near house might be next?"

Obama said those that attacked us on 9/11 were "on the run"-maybe he was right if he meant running wild around the globe. Said terrorists were jv team. They don't seemed "contained". Obama thinks you are overreacting to terrorism. He likes to remind people that more people die in deer car accident, and bathtubs, but you cant weaponized those.

Even during burssels attack, president Obama was at a baseball game w/commie dictator. Compared himself to Ortiz. Pig pappi's job is to hit runs, Obama's job is to keep us safe.

Obama thinks we should deal with terrorists as criminals, give them a lawyer. Last thing a terrorist should hear is "you have the right to remain silent"; first thing they should hear is "welcome to gitmo". President is releasing terrorists to countries that lack ability to keep track of them. 1/3 have returned to battlefield. President wants to close gitmo; those savages can rot in hell but until then they can rot in gitmo.

Must talk about iran. Isis is a threat but iran is a threat. Wont rehash my objections. With the deal, they will get a nuclear weapon, if they cheat, they will get a nuclear weapon. They have continued the same things they have always done. Obama has treated they with respect. He said they should share the middle east with neighbors and US. Refuses to punish them for missile tests. Paid ransom for hostage. Turned the other cheek over us sailors. Wants to use your money to subsidize their program by buying parts of their nuclear program that they have to destroy or get rid of.

(cut)

Maybe if they (WH staff) had to put on a uniform and dodge Iranian bombs they wouldn't think it's a laughing matter. We should treat iran simply saying that "either you destroy your nuclear program or we will". Anything else will lead to iran getting a nuclear weapon.

(cut)

Russia under putin seeks to return to the days of the soviet union. Obama wanted to reset w/putin even after putin invaded Georgia. Why does putin think he can get away with this kind of behavior? B/c Obama said that "both sides should exercise restraint". Putin knew exactly what kind of man he is dealing with.

(cut)

Have not talked about Obama's shabby treatment of allies. What explains this weakness and arrogance? Contend it is a lack of faith in American exceptionalism. Obama does not believe in American exceptionalism. If looked at through this lenses, the Obama Clinton foreign policy makes sense. Enemies just stating historical grievances and allies are free riders. Obama said it is time to lead from behind.

(cut)

We have my drill sergeant here tonight. Sargent Norton told us to do the hard right over the easy wrong. Has touched thousands of lives. Our soldiers deserve a commander in chief that believes in American exceptionalism. Deserve a commander in chief who appreciates america's place in history.

I said I would return to HRC. And I have arrived.

(cut)

HRC is disqualified from being commander in chief. Our soldiers and those who have fought for use deserve better. Want to recognize families that have lost a loved one in combat. They have paid the ultimate price. The least we can do for those families is give them a commander in chief who believes in American greatness.

Will leave you with two stories about fallen americans. I served with the old guard at Arlington. We participated in dignified transfer of remains. Soldiers in those ceremonies did the job with care and love b/c fallen deserved nothing less.

Second story about a ceremony at Andrews AFB. 4 americans died in Benghazi. Obama and HRC were there. We know, b/c of emails, that HRC told daughter and Egyptian PM what happened in Benghazi before that ceremony. Terrorists had launched an attack against American facilities. Yet told families that attack was b/c of a video. What kind of person do you want as commander in chief? Someone who honors service and patriotism or someone who will lie to families of fallen Americans for political gain? A commander in chief who honors sacrifices of fallen americans. God bless them, god bless you, etc. etc.
