--> 12:37.252 so in other words we oughta just do it all yes well we actually 12:37.256 --> 12:41.670 tried to be honest with you we I can't think of anything that 12:41.670 --> 12:44.730 we don't try to help with the only issue is whether we have a 12:44.730 --> 12:49.020 large enough style for a large enough fund their commitment to 12:49.020 --> 12:53.850 try to do it but we are engaged in almost every kind of activity 12:53.850 --> 12:57.689 that there is with respect to other human beings we help justice 12:57.690 --> 13:02.020 systems to be built in countries we help teach people of

we do almost everything there is in some cases 13:23.310 --> 13:24.230 we don't do enough of it 13:25.440 --> 13:28.820 and I think we we need to talk about that the market this we're 13:28.820 --> 13:34.460 the richest country in the world but word limiting now what we're 13:34.460 --> 13:38.250 doing and a lot of places because of our politics and budget 13:38.250 --> 13:42.340 crises of the

Turkey 15:46.460 --> 15:49.787 the hardest thing of all honestly the hardest thing of all is 15:49.800 --> 15:51.430 as secretary is just 15:52.790 --> 15:56.917 the large number of immediate 15:58.130 --> 16:03.500 challenges that come across the desk which require united states 16:03.500 --> 16:07.710 engagement involvement to try to prevent the people from dying 16:07.710 --> 16:12.330 people from being killed for that conflict we have explosions 16:12.330 --> 16:17.900 in enough places in the world a more so than any administration 16:17.900 --> 16:22.580 I think in in history have never had to deal with a with a career 16:22.960 --> 16:28.740 that's threatening with nuclear weapons or of the problems of 16:29.090 --> 16:34.644 yemen where there's a war on libya where alcaide area of thailand 16:34.650 --> 16:39.540 and dash eyesore are there and presenting a challenge and there's 16:39.540 --> 16:44.510 a lack of government or syria where there is a terrible war going 16:44.510 --> 16:49.100 on a civil war sending countless refugees out of their homes 16:49.100 --> 16:52.646 and across borders and other countries so you pile goes up over 16:52.646 --> 16:58.190 time on and and take a number of countries in africa a number 16:58.190 --> 17:00.940 of countries in south central asia in the countries the middle 17:00.940 --> 17:04.920 east and so forth you have more than enough but to fill the plate 17:05.650 --> 17:09.490 and and that's the hardest thing of all is marshalling our resources 17:09.840 --> 17:13.841 and our diplomatic energy to be able to try do a deal with all 17:13.841 --> 17:15.600 of those things at the same time 17:17.185 --> 17:21.280 cry but by the way I think we're doing pretty well I think we 17:21.280 --> 17:24.180 got good things happening we have a government coming into libya 17:24.600 --> 17:27.630 we have peace talks going on in yemen right now they're they're 17:27.630 --> 17:31.580 going pretty well were working to try to get the cessation of 17:31.580 --> 17:36.010 hostilities strengthened and more defined in syria over the political 17:36.010 --> 17:41.730 process that we are which moved with china to get a stronger 17:41.730 --> 17:45.310 response to what is happening in north korea so in each place 17:45.310 --> 17:49.170 we have responses we have things that are happening again it's 17:49.170 --> 17:52.900 just the question I answered earlier to the gentleman a moment 17:52.900 --> 17:56.700 ago is how much we have to do how quickly and whether we're getting 17:56.700 --> 17:59.400 enough of it done fast enough that shows as the question 18:00.975 --> 18:03.682 over here alone how are.
