>> while a stroke final means disqualifies him for public office we cannot tiptoed around the issue of this recovery and readiness part of his health is a fundamental component of the race a hotly contested match up that can control the senate to the democrats the doctor attested to his cognitive health believe our voters he can along berger perform as the job of u.s. senator we cannot endorse him for another six year term the chicago tribune received criticism for the editorial.

noah debate between kirk and duckworth coast by the chicago tribune editorial board. >> [inaudible] so this election with a democratically controlled senate and we will start with you. >> i seek regardless if it is a deadly - - star category control seven or

publicly controlled senate will try to improve the lives of the people of illinois. to hear that their economy is improving if it'll seem that if they don't see that in in granite city where the steel mill laid-off 2,000 workers after christmas were building a factory plant in malaysia. regardless if it is democrats or republicans and control especially here in illinois. so to provide those incentives but also to support medium or small businesses. with the state of the art facilities so make community

colleges free. with those public-private partnerships with that incentive of a the workforce and also with working families to put money away for the kent college so no matter whom is in charge this is what i am pushing for. >> if you all are in the majority waiting for the senate to act they would have more opportunities greg. >> it sure. to look at the supreme court and get a hearing from eric garland to make sure we get

in there we cannot just have pictures taken with him and then not do anything about it whether they're democrats or republicans i could not vote for you as a leader phyllis there is an actual confirmation vote. but check the of boxes of the media to demand a vote we need to work on comprehensive immigration reform. as much as 1 trillion or more dollars back to the economy with that comprehensive tax reform in manufacturing one of the problems is the tax code that hinders economic growth it is unjust tax cuts for

working families of four large corporations we need similar tax cuts for businesses that small or medium-sized. >> 20 think of the republican senate and erica garland? >> i seeking reelection to always put illinois ahead of the party to make sure i can serve as the glue of the senate with my role of this country. i want to make sure that i work toward the export powerhouse. . .

what kind, we talked and i asked him to have an academic discussion about the limits so that we could use it against chicago. the good thing is he was from lincoln and knew why i was asking the question and we just started to hit the area there was a good thing. >> do you think it is too much to ask to go for mitch mcconnell if he continues? >> the way we move forward is to have a hearing. i've alread already written to y colleagues to ask for a hearing that would be a national televised event to make sure everybody gets to see their elected senator asking a

question relevant to their sta state. >> if hillary clinton continues on what you support him for a quart? >> we will see we do not know if she is going to get elected now. >> what do you think of merit garland? >> i want to clarify what the senator said. he didn't ask for a hearing. the letter he asked was to meet with merit garland. more effects it would have been too asked to gather all of his colleagues on the republican side and send a letter not to the other senators but to charles grassley.

there is a difference between the expediency. it's different than saying i will not vote for you for leadership unless you have this hearing. i will gather all of my colleagues in the senate and be the leader that he says he is and we are demanding that hearing. we still don't have a supreme court nominee and i think that merit garland is qualified to serve on the supreme court. we hope that he will get a hearing in the lame-duck session but if not, looking at the supreme court nominee to choose someone with a legal mind and an established judicial record to

believe he's never been overturned on one of the decisions on a technicality and i would like the supreme court to look more like america. >> [inaudible] >> you've seen my track record in the house. i came before the senate report in the past and said i'm going to vote on the issues which is why i vote against the medical device tax, something that is part of the affordable care act and it's why i stood up to president obama when he wanted to arm to the tune of $500 million hillary clinton voted for that. the senator voted for that. i thought that it was a foolish thing to do to give $500 million to a program that would only have us trained these rebels for three weeks.

you are now committing yourself to the supply because they fire a different kind of bullet and i said this is wrong and they voted against it. i have misgivings about some of the issues in the accounting and the use of the funding but at the end of the day i went against my unit and voted. i want to ask you, senator on different gun control measures even after sandy hook it was shut dow down so if the that the concerned about that, why should they send you back when you might have a good record but they do not and it seems to get

out? >> it would be a graveyard of bills in the house. to make sure things happen, some of my most proud achievements is on the sanctions where i got a substantial number to vote with me to back that. he wouldn't have had anything to negotiate in the sanctions. i've been working with the junior senator for new york to make sure that we can criminalize the organizations. my main target is the relationship with the 515 to chicago. we want to make sure that in my talks we found that to gun stores in mississippi seem to

have a close continuing business relationship. with the legislation we can shut down the supply. >> can you get it out of the senate though. >> indicates if the import export think my party has been against it in the house and also in the senate. i put out a criminal justice reform and anything to do will have several components just about gun violence and gun control and it's why we cosponsored many pieces of legislation including one that has to do with the loophole that allows the gun store owner to go out and business and personal

use and then sell it. someone who's committed a violent felony should be abl she to not pass a background check but turn around and go buy it on the internet or a gun show. that includes universal background checks and it's why i sat in and we didn't get the vote in the house but we had members of the senate support us. they came over to demand that those on universal background checks that in addition to gun control things like getting rid of the magazines and the assault weapons ban, we also have to look at the capacity for the greater communications between police and community. after the shootings i went to dallas and met with the police chief and they had a great community police program that's something we can work on but it

wasn't the result of a failure of that program and it's astounding to me that in the speech in the questions and answers he says they lack the capacity to deal with these relations when it comes to gun violence in chicago. find the senator, only will i make sure that my office has the capacity to help promote the relation the bible make sure a leader on this issue and finally to talk about gun violence it's not just about getting more sanctions for the straw purchasers in both those things, but it's also about economic injustice. we have a 50% unemployment rate on the south side of chicago. the program that robin kelley organized there was a member and this young man said if i could find a job where i could make

$350 a week there are no jobs where i live, no one has a job and if i had a job for $350 a week i would be a man and get away and they would respect me because i would be one of the few that didn't have a job candidate would leave me alone. he wasn't asking for $50,000 a year. he wanted 353 have to look at investments. >> no one has been able to solve this so when you talk about having a role in policing -- >> everything from federal grants to the small community groups to do the work of the relationships there are many programs that exist right now

but they are simply not winning those dollars in the federal government, whether it is the department of justice or other departments to provide the money for the community organizing groups that will provide the community police relationships. we can look at other examples in much smaller cities in illinois they've done work there with the relationships that have really helped. i talked about dallas and you can also just be visible as a senator talking to the community members and one of the things wasn't just about gun violence, they said we need economic development. that's what he told me that that's what the church leaders told me and it's what the grandmothers on the street corners told me. we need jobs on the southside of chicago in a way to get to the shops. maybe you can get a factory put in that middle but you can certainly work hard to provide

incentives to get those jobs and then provide it with a way that we can get to work and invest in the infrastructure and instead of just jumping over entire neighborhoods to get to work. so this is a complex issue. it's not just a passing legislation to get rid of the assault weapons ban, more penalties. i'm going to do that. i'm on the record of supporting that it's also about what are we going to do to provide economic opportunity, what are we going to do to provide educational opportunity? if you are a young person on the southside of chicago about to go to high school and see there is no way you can afford to go to college was to keep you from dropping out of high school but if there was a technical education program that you could actually go to with an internship that would allow you to get a job in a factory you

may be incentivized to stay in school. >> is there more that you should be doing or the senators -- >> -appropriating $18 million a year to take the national significance that was a critical phrase to get the earmark rules and we've been appropriating those to the marshal service and they've already taken over $700 off the streets. in reality we have to look back to history. i worry that if we look at the current media organizations they would have said no you can never take them on and in 1928, the federal government took them out and i think the federal backup that's what we ought to do to make sure we have substantial

backup and make sure they can build the intelligence and have the equipment to execute more. >> i agree the chicago police department needs more resources. i would like every police officers not only to have cameras that teasers. if the only weapon that you have to defend yourself when you think that you're in danger they gun, then that is what you're going to use. i think it is wrong every police officer doesn't have a teaser trying to do their job. it can't just be about locking people up. we need criminal justice reform. i talked with prosecutors had asked the questions of the mandatory minimum sentencing drug crimes. do you exploit them to intimidate a young offender and

maybe someone without a criminal history or someone without a violent record to accept a plea deal because you could hold the deal over their head in the mandatory minimum sentencing and that gets rid of the case and then we move on to the next. it's that much for difficult to find a job and we have to take a look at all components of this, the education committee economic opportunity, the violence in making sure we give what he needed also investing in the community police relationships and making sure that we don't put people on track to go to jail and have a record for the rest of their life. it's why wthat's why we worked o try to set up veterans day version program, the court program. veterans were coming home, who

were getting into trouble and if you can keep them from entering into the criminal justice system permanently, you allow them to get their lives back in order and i think we can do the same thing especially with people that are nonviolent drug crimes and if we get rid of the mandatory minimum sentences that is not my opinion. that's the opinion i've been talking to. >> [inaudible] >> i wanted to add that is a good idea to make sure they are quick. in my case it's been working with suburban law enforcement to make sure the police units are available in case there is a drug overdose in to make sure

not just a regular that would cause the needle to administer but sometimes the police unions that have a problem with administering a drug addict. you can bring them right back. we've been working with the foundation to make sure and there've been dozens that we have gotten out there. if i waited for the federal government, it would have lost a couple of kids. we want to make sure we use it with a foundation that can do it right away and pass slow and low department of justicdepartment t wouldn't have been quick about it. >> you've changed your mind a

couple of times. what do you think that you are going to do? stomach thinking of voting for general petraeus and right now he's not a registered candidate. i realize m my run and wouldn'te effective for general petraeus and i think for him as the victor it's difficult to see why he was prosecuted for the misuse of classified material and i think we should highlight the bravery. >> what did you make of the story over the weekend trump either taking advantage of the loophole of the texas where do you come down on that issue? spirit i assume that it's way too complicated for me to tell what's going on there and assume he has an incredibly complicated

tax situation. >> but does that play into the narrative to close some of the loopholes if in fact the nominee didn't pay taxes but the rest of us flex to be complex >> you would want a nominee to pay federal taxes. it's embarrassing if we didn't pay federal taxes at all. two over the tax rate to the united states didn't have the highest in the industrialized world and if we could lower that rate, the president has identified this as bipartisan cooperation. if we lower the rate we would have companies and towards the united states. >> a couple of years ago they said that would be a big top

priority. why is it so difficult to have that as the key interest? how do you change that? >> you take a page out of ronald reagan . book where the time and attention of the president of the president puasthe presidentd attention on the issue you can make magic happen. >> so you think then they would be more likely to move with that issue in the senate? any thoughts on what came out in the weekend? >> the president of the united states shouldn't be someone who hasn't paid taxes for years. it's clear that we have a problem with the tax code in this country and as i said, we need a comprehensive tax reform

but if we are going to give tax breaks to the largest corporations cannot we need to give them to the small and medium businesses and also it is about repatriating from overseas and coming up with a way because i would rather have 15% that would be repatriated than 30% of the $0 because it would never be brought back. what i am worried about is all of those manufacturers here that are still paying at the higher tax rate. it's for the medium and small businesses as well. they are the engine of the economy and they continue to grow. i think it is troubling that the senator is still talking about writing in david petraeus as the united states senator to say he's going to write in somebody that cannot get the clearance

because we found over 300 pages of documents on the mistresses computer that was testimony in the oversight reform committee. and by the way, the surge that the senator says now is the reason he wants to support general petraeus, he wrote an op-ed saying he opposed the surge in the list of things that has to do with national security policies. these are time and time again that senator has been on the national security issues said tuesday that he is going to throw away their vote on a man who can't even pass a security clarence is very troubling. >> what did you make of smashing blackberries with hammers and

the rank-and-file citizen >> they said the rank-and-file person did what she did they would be punished but not prosecuted i believe is what he said. i have problems with that. i was there and i called for her to turn over her e-mails when i first issued this race i had been out there saying she needed to turn over those e-mails and make sure. one of the things i've been working on in the committee is the fact that the national standard from agency to agency hasn't been executed. they have until the end of the year to make sure that every department and the government has backed, and we need to follow up and make sure that this can never happen again.

she is someone i would oppose and she wapose andshe was wrongr the iraq war, something that the senator wasn't just someone i voted for the iraq war, he cowrote the invasion. they were wrong to vote for it and i've nothing to be afraid to stand up for whoever it is when they are making decisions that put america in jeopardy. >> [inaudible] do you think the handling of the e-mails put america in jeopardy? >> i think that the handling of the situation was poor, but i would rely because i haven't gone through all of the documents. i would rely on to the park and to the congress defector who said it was shoddy but it wasn't something he would prosecute just like he wouldn't prosecute an ordinary american who does the same thing but they would have the sanctions taken and the jobs if they did so.

>> [inaudible] what would you be for if you trust that issue? >> i think it is going to take a multipronged approach. syria is a major international crisis both on humanitarian but also one of national security proportions. i think that we need to certainly put greater pressure on our allies, especially on the allies like turkey that are attacking rebel forces from the rear as they are fighting the forces. they need to work in any kind of pay an assessment that we deal with.

they've been responsible for the mass murder of so many citizens and i do think that continued use of surgical airstrikes as well as the use of any type of an agreement with the russians towards a no-fly zone and the cease-fire is something we should continue to press. i will not be someone who was just right carte blanche and say send more troops and do these things. i want to be there when the issues are negotiated in the senate, and i'm going to be there to ask questions whether it's about the fact that you're going to give american-made weapons to the rebels but that means we have to provide ammunition for the future? these are questions i have to ask because i have been a logistics supply officer. there's more pressure on our allies making sure that we are not undermining our own

attacking our own allies like those fighting and moving forward against the government forces and anything we can do to get to the point that we can extend these cease-fire agreements and i'm working with russia to try to get their. >> [inaudible] >> i would have to look at the conditions but i think the safe haven is definitely something that should be put on the table for discussion but probably the safe haven is that there is the argument that they could be used also by the fighters to resupply and reconstitute themselves and there wouldn't have to be in agreement that involves a safe haven calls to address that particular issue. >> [inaudible] >> i think that we have to have a safe haven that is administered by the military. and to keep people protected by

the military so they can stay in the same religion and same language and make an international commitment to protect people. unfortunately the jordanian military doesn't have the capacity to maintain a safe haven. theithe benefit is the huge infx and issues they have in their own nation. i agree the jordanian military should do it with us and [inaudible] >> are we talking about putting american troops flex to beat the >> increasing the troop presence? >> i think it would be welcomed for that. >> if you had increased airstrikes, what will you do with all of the needs for the forward observers and could need rescue teams and logistic

supplies. >> the massive increase as well as the forces. >> you have a couple hundred acres you could put the air defense battery to make sure nothing could live over the states and they could well protect that. >> [inaudible] >> this is why i need to go to the senate so i can ask these questions because folks that havhappened from the logistics t can't ask the right questions of the administration are not asking them. we cannot just be a nation that is still operating on the 200181 f. for the use of military

force. we have the 2001 at the 2003 neither of which have gone away. the war has changed. secretary carter came to congress and said we need there is a massive air defense to go maintain a safe haven but we are not even talking about all the issues. -a pilot in enemy territory, and i was grateful. they were ready to rescue me that thabutthat was the commitme truths and we are going to do that. the american people need to know, because that is something that will not just think about

the lives we are sending over there but we are talking about a war that goes on for decades in iraq and afghanistan and the bush tax cuts will account for 50% of the national debt if we can't just keep spending money the way we are when it comes to these issues. >> if you took that off the table and stuck with iraq, that is a trillion dollars in national debt by 2019. >> if that is the concern.

i think when you look at my record in the house i got used furniture is out of the warehouse is instead of buying new furniture for the offices and returned almost $400,000 of the office budget in the time that i've been in congress but every job helps in the armed services committee i'm looking now at some of those happening in the state department with contracting the use of contractors and i don't think it is comprehensive enough across all levels and one thing from the wealthiest.

especially the people here in illinois often times that is the only wealth building mechanism. i'm fine if you want to talk about getting rid of that tax credits but for the first home for so many families there are many factors i think if we look at the work that i've done in the house, the work i want to do in the senate, line by line i talk about all the ways we can cut the funding and we look at medicare and right now medicare is astonished i did a senior literacy event and they said we paid out bowling league 10% of the budget to the wasteful claims.

we keep an eye on the trigger for a six-month period those are the kind of things that we look after. we have medicare and finance and go in and negotiate lower drug prices that is $24 billion a year that we can save. but also they need to look at not spending money when it comes to things like sending massive amounts of troops.

this era bumped up closer to three and we need to grow the gdp as well as cut spending. >> [inaudible] how much did that cost? >> let me give you an example of the program that's there right now. that's actually not federally funded. i want to touch back on the fact that the manufacturers associationmanufacturersassociat still showing up for the meetings in congress. one of the things that was presented to us is the fact that 80% of the manufacturers were told that the reason they had been grown in market share and haven't gotten more customers isn't because there's not a demand for their product. it's actually because they do not have skilled work is to fill the jobs they have so that's why companies like northrop grumman provided a grant to the

community college for the manufacturing program and what happens is on the first day they get into the program funded in the community college and food industries. as they are going through, they get all the certificates they need and northrop grumman helped deliver the coveted them so they get their drawing certificates and briefed machinery and high-tech manufacturing certification as well as some that that is more mundane like a welding certificate. and in about two years, northrop grumman gave all the kids in the program a job at northrop grumman and asked the college to give them more students next year. >> i'm sorry, did you see that as [inaudible] a state-by-state basis or are

you actually proposing the federal government? >> we start with a public-private partnership and it's not going to be -- to get the community college program in every degree that you might want. but let's start with the ones that actually result in the job. i will go back to my opening statement to push american manufacturing and made in america so let's start with that first because there is a job fair at the end of the program for students that want to go in. speak to >> for my proposal? the one that i've come up with in terms of is allowing students to refinance student loan debt and that would be paid for by closing the loophole that allows companies to write off the funding and the bonus is that

they give to their top income earners from their taxes as a business expense. ssoso that people did not averae $1.6 million or more. we could actually close the tax loopholes and provide the money but i'm not asking for the government to pay for it all. >> [inaudible] >> the community college program is starting out of $12 million to fund it and again, they are starting small. and more are looking forward to partnering that. speak to >> that particular program is an funded at all. >> i just want to get a sense of the federal government -- >> she doesn't know. >> part of this is the program that we are talking about, rig right? but start with the programs that don't cost federal dollars.

>> [inaudible] >> to talk to a group like northronorthrop grumman that its federal contracts for those that be wide range bombers that boeing gets contracts fo for hid manufacturing industries they get all these contracts in the federal government and if you are going to do that you need to look at participating in some of these programs. you are going to get the work for it. they needed to train workers and they couldn't get them >> there is a difference between the fiscal conservative and she wants to spend more and tax more deeper into debt and i want to spend more in debt to make sure that doesn't happen.

they work so hard in the commission and devoted and that was the proudest moment. >> the senate is a bunch of wagons in the canal and there would be two voices one in that case if they are always nipping at eac each other then they wout go very fast and they decided i've got to have that good relationship. we have the economic philosophy and i want to spend less and tax less and borrow less. >> he wants to tax less but the people that send jobs overseas but he's not talking about is

taxing the middle income workers. he called the giveaway. it is keeping them as consumers that ar are sobered and they cat even get ahead. it doesn't make sense. when i talk to folks they are like please help us with the student loan debt my proposal to start and allow students to refinance the student loan debt something that is holding back young people all across the country and especially here in

illinois, they voted against common sense and it's not that they don't want to pay back the debt, they just want to be able to refinance the way that you and i refinance. some of them pay 12%. we have a clarion call to protect people in the united states for puerto rico and greece and the scott to make sure that we elect the leaders. i think if we create a new program under obamacare. >> how would you alleviate the

issue flex >> i've introduced legislation that would allow every new mom and dad in the country. that would be the most important financial educational tool so that the statement comes up at the top dad can sit down and say this is what you had in the savings. what a powerful tool to get us. >> it's $1.3 trillion being held in this country.

they are moving back in. it's wrong to not allow the students to refinance the debt. sputnik [inaudible] >> sputnik [inaudible] >> it is incredibly expensive. in the four o. one k. we haven't gotten it through the congressional budget office square right now. we did ask the committee. >> [inaudible] >> i used to be in the air defense game in the navy and if

the battle group can easily protect in jordan, she could easily do that. [inaudible] no task could come of that. from the air defense point, the it was within the range of the mediterranean. >> you can't keep people on the alert status indefinitely. to keep the battle on station they would have to be in line and trained up in order to go in and they can only stay for a fair amount of time if you want to start calling up the military either active duty or reserve

forces you can't keep insisting that there. the process for the rotation was a five-year trade-off. you are being trained to go in. they are doing 90% of what it has to do. the navy is exactly the same in the peacetime you've got 5,000 on the aircraft carrier. there is a safe haven outside is

that correct? >> if it is in cooperation with the jordanian government. >> i want to go back to the logistics of this right now because it doesn't make sense. you would be keeping a battle group at how long? don't you think these folks need to have a new au ms, not to mention the fact that the secretary of the navy just came to congress and as if we don't have enough ships to do the jobs that we have right now. we don't have enough aircraft. we don't have the ships to meet the mission that we have right now.

[inaudible] >> we already have the agents for the u.s. government agencies are involved in this area where people have commented jordan. we've been very involved in the system to make sure they can handle the financial burden. i don't think they've declared war. >> so they are dropping. >> i don't think we thought this out very well coming up that is my fear that we can't afford to have knee-jerk reactions to go to war. it's something to convince america not just of the human resources but the financial

resources. we are already in the problem that we are in because the war that we have gone to. i didn't believe for the nation to put in jeopardy but i'm also not going to be there and allow us to the drop of a hat. >> he has a history of supporting these excursions that haven't worked out well and now he's talking about the carrier group in the middle east indefinitely. you would know it's already wouy

stationed in the mediterranean. >> you referred to him as being unhinged. can you elaborate on that by no means was it not mentioned. we certainly have our challenges and i think doctors know that he put out recently he is responsible for everything he said. what would you call it when you have a man that in 2007 z. what is one of the ways we can combat illegal immigration coming to mexico what do you call it. what would you call it when you have somebody that repeatedly called him out on it they received a letter from the navy

to cease and desist. what do you call it, to compare a commander-in-chief to the jugular i think it is irresponsible and not befitting of a united states senator and he's been saying these things for well over ten years. >> i would say that i've been quick with that turn of phrase the congresswoman and i are in a excruciating detail [inaudible] what about the others?

>> when i said that it was for the $400 billion in cash the irony of the position she made the payment and the european union already discontinued because they sa said that it was too involved. giving $100 million you remember the state department issued a notice right after the cash. it's important to conduct the government in a way that there is no plac price on the heads of americans. we want them to have freedom to travel about the world without fear. the whole reason we don't pay

ransom is to make sure there is no price on our heads. >> they have come really close to saying this was payment. >> they also said that money was already committed to be returned to iran and had nothing to do with the hostages. they did use it as leverage. i have proof of getting american film but not that we paid rans ransom. getting americans released was the important diplomatic tool. regardless of these things are happening on the deal we can have a united states senator that continues to see these irresponsible things. he implied the president wanted to give nuclear weapons to iran

and used a dog whistle by calling him barack hussein obama. do you apologize for saying one of the ways that we could combat is to set up a contraception to mexico? >> i've been very involved. if we execute these it is to our benefit. >> you said one of the ways we could combat is to send free contraception to mexico that's different from how you are characterizing it right now. we simply can't afford at the time that we need greater bipartisanship and dialogue to

have a senator who has a decades long history of saying inflammatory things that doesn't help us. people who were the victims in the chinese dumping of steel and manipulation in the currency, they want to know what is going on and those families are out of work and trying to figure out how they are going to pay their mortgage let alone college money and to hear these things isn't useful. >> [inaudible] the other issue that you disagree on [inaudible]

>> we've got three debates scheduled, two up in chicago and one downstate is my understanding. >> we have several coming up [inaudible] >> it is up to 15. >> you and me, let's do abc seven. abc seven is the largest station in the area and the league of women voters and it's one that we don't miss. we accepted it very early on all of these debates and made it

clear we changed some to accommodate. >> iadb tip -- i debated him four times. [inaudible] >> are you just admitting here today >> she's right it's the number one station. obviously >> my campaign manager is here.

>> i just accepted it so i will go there it's just the two of us who hwe can do this. >> [inaudible] if there is something we didn't cover can you take a couple minutes -- >> [inaudible] i was in scotland on vacation with my sister-in-law as soon as we heard the issue new york was under attack and we lost a flight in pennsylvania i immediately got on the phone

with my commander of my unit for the raging bull message that goes out to everyone in the unit because we have the only aviation unit and at the time we didn't even have the coas coastd unit so we didn't know if chicago for the next. every flight i went back and as you recall we didn't know but it was another high-value target so we made sure that we could respond if needed and in fact we flew the training mission when they asked us to intercept the chicago airspace.

>> she didn't even know what country she was in. it is hard to see what country she was in. >> you were the commander of your unit regardless of whatever and wherever. >> secretary rumsfeld had breakfast with several members. >> the question how long you were with him in it by minute. >> i didn't keep a detailed minute by minute waltz of where i was. when the breakfast ended, i left and back in 2004, he sent me a nice memo to all of those

members with him at congress and i went back to my car and drove back to the office. i had a bunch of meetings. >> i have no memento all i have is this pain right here. ..
