get people to take you seriously and listen to the substance of what you are saying all. not just the tone in which you are -- i hope that people will give you honest feedback. some of the best feedback they ever got was when i was working at mckinsey and one of the partners i was working for at the time, it was my first engagement and i had been there two months, he said, you have. i said, i am so sorry. [laughter] he said, you habitually apologize for everything. you should not apologize for 99% of the things that you apologize people are not going take you seriously.
2:00 am
it was great advice. to stopme a long time the apologizing. i still apologize because i am from arkansas originally. go arkansas. i was so grateful. as much as he made light of it, he was making a serious point. i was young. i was a woman. i was working on a financial services case. so many things stacked against me. but he also knew i was a super hard worker. if i didn't get rid of apologizing, people would focus on the first part and not the second part. figure out what the right strategy is for you to be figure -- taken seriously. get honest feedback. so you get the balance right along the way.

time to act on those ideas might be. we have been thinking about that also as a digital product from the beginning. >> my role is to liaise with national media in partnership with the communication team that works for hillary. >> what is an effective media campaign? book depends on what the is. what the potential for the book is. think ofwhat i like to as top-down campaigns. campaign's like hillary clinton's which began with natural -- with national media. a few big hits generate things that create themselves. >> my role with the clinton title has been to work on the arcanine side which has involved a website for the book. -- is to work on the marketing side which has involved the website for the book. the release of content on the web. my role has been the digital

journalist. >> if you want to subsidize is something we should subsidize, then put it on the ballot sheet. make it clear and evident. aware how much it is costing. when you deliver through third-party enterprises, fannie mae and for that, when -- and freddie mac, when you deliver it through a private company and executives who can extract that subsidy for themselves, that is not a good way of subsidizing homeownership. >> read more of the conversation with her and other interviews in our q&a program "sundays at eight." no available as a father's day it at your favorite bookseller. >> they held a hearing on the nuclear regulatory commission. 2011 nuclear power

plant in japan, they created a task force to recommend increased safety measures for u.s. plants. members were looking into efforts to implement those recommendations. this is an hour and 50 minutes. >> today the committee is holding the ninth meeting since the tsunami. the massive -- and will cost more than $300 million. we must learn from the offense and fukushima and take necessary steps to ensure the safety of nuclear facilities in the united states.
2:08 am
i will continue to focus on whether the nrc has done that. it is vitally important that the nrc remained committed to its mission, which is to ensure the safety of radioactive materials for beneficial civilian purposes, while protecting people and the environment. based on a review of the progress made since the fukushima disaster and on what official steps need to be taken by nrc to ensure the safety of people and the environment, which is your charge, i'm afraid you may have lost sight of your mission. the fukushima near-term task force made up of nrc senior staff recommended 12 measures to upgrade safety in the wake of the fukushima meltdown. in august 2011, the former nrc chairman testified before our committee that the nrc should be able to act on those recommendations and that they could be implemented within five years. as of today, the nrc has failed
2:09 am
complete implementation of a single one of the post fukushima safety measures. summary operators are not in compliance with the safety requirements that were in place before fukushima. the nrc has only completed its own action on four of the 12 task force recommendations. your team that you praise all the time told you that you have to do this. this is unacceptable. it puts the safety of the american people at risk. thank you. we have these for you. i also have serious concerns about the safety of nuclear fuels. nrc studies show that the consequences of a fire at a nuclear fuel pool can be as
2:10 am
serious as a severe accident at an operating reactor. not only does nrc allow that fuel to be stool -- stored indefinitely, it is considering requests for decommissioning reactor operators for exemption from emergency response measures designed to protect nearby communities. while the nuclear energy institute claimed that these exemptions are granted only when special circumstances exist at a facility, the truth is that never has the nrc denied even one waiver request. it rubberstamps them every single time a reactor shuts down. i have introduced three bills to increase the safety of spent nuclear fuel and improve the decommissioning process. these are not theoretical concerns. on the same day that this committee held a hearing on th
