obamacare is harming the american people. costs are going up, not down, as the president had promised. millions of americans have been kicked off the coverage they had. that's less access and fewer choices at a higher costs. that's the opposite direction we need to be cog go and the american people know it. we want a health care system that is affordable and accessible. choices and options of the highest quality. that's not too much to ask, mr. speaker. its is achievable but only if we pursue patient-centered solutions that embrace those principles in health care that we hold dear. i look forward to this debate and the opportunity to share with the american people how we solve this challenge. the challenge in the system by putting them in charge, not washington. i encourage my colleagues to support this measure. let's take this final at the in reconciliation and send this repeal to the president's desk. and i reserve. ism the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. van hollen

you need to enlist all americans. among them are american muslims. to assume its american muslims are muslims in general, strategically, it's a bad assumption. the number one people being killed by violent extremist groups within the islamic extremism are other muslims. some might see us as the prime target. they don't want moderate muslims. i don't know what that term means. they don't want people who have different interpretations were living in the west. the president says that allies with me to be and listed. it's not just us, it's a larger group. about facing these realities without excuse? guest: there is a challenge because we have been put on the defensive. it's difficult when every single conversation is targeting your religion. her first reaction is to stand up and defend the religion without excuses. that is the challenge facing. i haven't put in the situation where people attack islam. i have to step back and understand that people are in a place of fear. because of that, there is a challenge of being alienated. that's the president was p

president, the obama administration has left the american people with a host of american people with a host of mr. president the obama administration has left the american people but once again it sounds like president obama state of the union address will offer substandard solution. more than that it sounds as the president will largely ignore the problems and that is unfortunate. the president is missing an opportunity to offer substantive solutions before turning the problems of his administration over to his successors. mr. president i don't want to give credence to the obama administration's accusations of republicans all doom and gloom. as i said i believe the strength of this. of the american people mean the future of america is always bright. realizing that future requires understanding and developing solutions to the problems facing our nation and that something the president has been unwilling to do. mr. president republicans worked hard over the past year to make our economy stronger, our government more efficient and accountable and our nation and our world safer and more

the american people want it. rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, creating 13 million jobs, the american for women, the american people want it, demanding that the wealthy start paying their fair share of taxes, the american people want it. >> that's time. >> the point is, we have to make congress respond to the needs of the people, not big money. >> senator sanders, you call yourself a democratic socialist -- >> i do. >> and throughout your career in politics, you've been critical of the democratic party, there's wasn't a hell of a big difference between the the two major parties -- >> did i say that? >> how did plan on winning with labeling yourself that. >> democratic party needs major reform. to those of you in south carolina, you know what, in mississippi, we need a 50-state strategy so that people in south carolina and mississippi can get the resources that they need. instead of being dependent on superpacks, what we need is to be dependent on small, individual campaign we need an agenda that speaks to

jails to get the americans back. and even former secretary of state hillary clinton took a hard line. he she released a statement tonight saying we shouldn't thank iran for fulfilling their obligations. she pointed out iran is still violating u.n. resolutions against their missile program. they did not link the prisoner release to the nuclear deal they didn't want them to become bargaining chips. the talks to release the prisoners did accelerate. one thing is very clear though. iran was desperate to get out from there are a lot of hurdles left before iran and the united states are going to restore full diplomatic relations or full business relations anytime soon. >> thank you. by the way, that's where the top republicans were today and where the democrats will be tomorrow to square off. >> reporter: with the one time bromance between donald trump and ted cruz over, increasingly heated rhetoric. >> it seems donald trump has a lot of nervous energy. for whatever reason, donald doesn't react well when he's going down in

the american people. and that's why i stand here as confident as i have ever been that the state of our union is strong. thank you. god bless you. god bless the united states of america. ( applause ) >> pelley: president barack obama, delivering his final state of the union address. the president has one year and one week left in his second term. so, how do you speak to a congress thaha will not pass your policies? well, you talk about the future, beyond your own term. the president, clearly tired of hearing republican presidential candidates talking about a falterings economy and weakness abroad, he said those candidates are pedaling fiction. with us now, john dickerson, anchor of "face the nation." this morning." norah, what did you think? >> o'donnell: you know, we started this evening saying that this was going to be about the president defining his legacy, but i thought it was also about litigating his record. he seemed like he was itching to get into the political debate. i mean, the white house bil

or trying to weaken american. democracy grinds to a halt without a willingness to comprise, or when even basic facts are contested, or when we listen only to those who agree with us. our public life withers when only the most extreme voices get all the attention. and most of all, democracy breaks down when the average person feels their voice doesn't rigged in favor of the rich or the powerful or some special interest. too many americans feel that way right now. it's one of the few regrets of my presidency. that the rancor and the suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better. i have no doubt that a president with the gifts of lincoln or roosevelt might have better bridged the divide, and i guarantee i'll keep trying to be better as long as i hold this office. but, my fellow americans, this cannot be my task, or any president's alone. there are a whole lot of folks in this chamber. good people who would like to see more cooperation. who would like to see a more elevated debate in washington, imp

who were released -- one american, four iranian americans, one american, were released yesterday, but dozens of journalists, dozens of activists and hundreds of other innocent people are still in prison now. what the iranian government wants to do now is to instill fear in people. so iranian people are afraid. the islamic republic of iran is basically the republic of fear. people are afraid of their government. so the iranian people on the plane with me were afraid to come and talk to me freely. as soon as we crossed iranian air space they take off their veils. many women take off their veils and feel free to talk as well. >> how much do you -- >> i'm curious and then sarah, i'll have you react. how much do you think that's an analogy of the reality of the iraqi citizens and the way they approach all of this? do you think that many of the people there feel as if they are living in a repressed regime or do you think they support their government and the repressive way they run things? >> i think there is a significant minority that support the regime. these are the people who vote volu

that's american strength. that's american leadership. and that kind of leadership depends on the power of our example. that's why i will keep working to shut down the prison at guantanamo. it is expensive, it is unnecessary and it only serves as a recruitment brochure for our enemies. there's a better way. and that's why we need to reject any politics -- any politics -- that targets people because of race or religion. all right, let me just say this -- [ applause ] political correctness. this is a matter of understanding just what it is that makes us strong. the world respects us not just for our arsenal. it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith. his holiness pope francis told this body, from the very spot that i'm standing on tonight, that to imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the best way to take their place. when politicians insult muslims, whether abroad or our fellow vandalized or a kid is called name names, that doesn't make us safer. that's not telling it like it

ten american sailors held by iran are safe tonight. freed earlier today. quickly sparing another major international crisis. but not the humiliation of this sight of american navy crewmen, hands above their heads, boats and weapons displayed on iranian television and around the world. tonight we learned more about how they ended up in iranian hands and how two long, bitter adversaries managed to extinguish this flat point before it could fully erupt. jim miklaszewski represents from the pentagon. >> reporter: the images are jarring. the ten american sailors on their knees, hands clasped behind their heads on the deck of their own u.s. navy vessel. surrounded by armed iranian military. the video shot by the iranians and aired on iranian-state television. of the americans, nine men and one woman in confinement and sharing a meal in show they were well treated. one of the sailors apologized for entering iranian territorial waters. >> it was a mistake that was our fault and we apologize for our mistake. >> it is unclear what were the circumstances when the vid

getting those four americans released and the iranians having seven u.s. iranian nationals released. then iran decided, although this fifth american, matthew trevithick, has not been part of the original deal, the iranians as a good will gesture also decided to release him, this young student was in iran, he was detained, we understand just a little bit over a month ago. so this is the culmination of a lot of diplomacy, secretary kerry and foreign minister zarif. also we understand bret magerk, top u.s. diplomat now, replaced the u.s. envoy to isis coalition all really trying to get this done, wolf, in the last several days. you saw earlier this week the detention of ten u.s. sailors threatened to complicate this, but the detention by iran, but u.s. officials say secretary kerry and foreign minister zarif agree that this could really potentially be a roadblock here, so they decided, you saw, that was resolved quickly, wolf, with what is considered record time in iran within 24 hours those sailors were released so they could get back to focusing on concludi
