John Kerry: “Congressman, I don’t need any lessons from you about who I represent." (C-SPAN)

mr. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania Thank You mr. chairman thank you gentlemen we certainly appreciate your indulgence we know it's been a long time in the context of these statements as how as what I'd like to ask my questions from 1994 so not too long ago right 11 we're talking about 1115 year context of this deal for the most for the most strict portions of it so from 1994 the entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons as one statement and also the United States and international inspectors will carefully monitor North Korea to make sure it keeps its commitments and we all know that's of course quotes from President Clinton that those nothing that happened that mean North Korea is what it is and we are where we are within that context secretary Kerry reading your quote recently with the reporter from Al Arabiya I don't know how to interpret at this point in time except to take it at face value in relation to chance of death to America death to Israel we're going to continue our our policy and then it's very troubling it's very disturbing it's very troubling and we'll have to wait and see what we have to wait and see secretary Kerry and before you answer 1979 52 US hostages 444 days 1983 the US Marine Barracks 241 Americans kills 1992 the Israeli embassy in Argentina bomb 2011 the attempted assassination of the Saudi ambassador in DC the killings and maimings of hundreds in Iraq and Afghanistan not to mention support of the Saud Hezbollah Hamas and activities in Iraq Syria and Yemen what will we have to wait and see but what was your what was to see the implementation of the plan congressman no look you and I can have a speech off if you want I don't have a speech off I don't know but in the comments we could have a you know we could have a competition for who is angrier about some of the things around has done historically we understand they've killed Americans we understand what they did Khobar towers we understand all of the but they were marching towards a nuclear store Secretary's notice to understand I appreciate his harness on you must understand the American people see Iran as like a crocodile or a shark that does what it does and we're saying well we're going to give the crocodile or the shark a few more teeth and let's see if it does something difference not accurate that's not bad that's what we says we have left and let me say this to you have said that we don't have a better option people are saying well you haven't provided a better option congressman we first of all this is secretary with all due respect it is not Congress's job this is the administration and if you would use the treaty process as provided by the Constitution maybe we wouldn't be in this situation furthermore you know you say well this is the only deal we can get that there's no better deal Congress has a long history of instituting better deals example or 200 treaties including 80 multilateral Accords modified by Congress including the arms and control agreement salt 2 and the threshold test ban treaty that failed to reach a vote and were modified so there is a history for that of getting a better deal and if the Ayatollah doesn't like it and doesn't want to negotiate it Oh boohoo we're here for America we stand for America you represent America with that having been said you know it's in another interview if you don't get a majority in Congress to support this deal doesn't that undermine the deal and your statement it's abbreviated they don't care over there and I'm assuming you mean Iraq as long as the deal is implemented and that's what we care about that this deal being implemented so do you care more about this deal or the UN's approval or American sovereignty and the approval of the American people through their duly elected representatives mr. secretary congressman I don't need a lessons from you about who I represent I've represented and fought for our country since I was out of college and god bless you for your self committed lessons about that okay now let me just make it crystal clear to you this is America's interest because America is the principal guarantor of security in the region and particularly with respect to some of our closest friends now we believe Iran was marching towards a weapon or the capacity to have a weapon and we've rolled that back okay that's your peanuts indisputably how we ask you this mr.
