into his hot tub that was adjacent to the room just steps away. when i finished my pitch i was obviously never view and he kept asking me to watch him masterbate. i told him i was leaving. >> thanks so much for joining me. i know this is incredibly difficult to talk about. i appreciate your being brave in sharing your story with us. what was your reaction when this all broke ten days or so? >> i'd like to say i was surprised, but i wasn't, and strangely there was a sense of relief for me. i've spent a long time not talking about this publicly for fear of retribution and for fear of being black listed and hearing all these women speak out empowered me to feel brave enough to speak out.
1:01 pm
it seemed like there was going to be a sea change. >> that's the hope. talk about your story. what happened to you? >> i was interviewing to be a nanny with harvey weinstein. after preinterviewing, i was invited at his home in connecticut and i arrived, rang the gate, and went up to the door, and when he opened the door it was harvey weinstein and he was dressed only in his boxers and t-shirt. at the time i was very surpri d surprised. i thought maybe he gort i was coming and he would excuse himself and get changed. he didn't. he went into the living room and
1:02 pm
we conducted the interview in his underwear. two of his children came into the living room and he screamed for them not to come in. i was invited to be a nanny and meeting the children was part of that. the way he realkted was kind of alarming to me. up to this point it had all been standard questions and he had been friendly and then he asked me about being an actor. i had been up front about being an actor at the very beginning and he knew it. he said, do you think it's a conflict. i said, no, i was very professional i i would never use your position to advance my acting career. i'm here to take care of children. he said you wouldn't try to flirt with my friends to get ahead. >> wow. >> yeah. i said i would never flirt to get ahead in any career, that's wildly unprofessional and i would never consider doing that.
1:03 pm
when we finished the interview, i thought he would shake me hand. hi pull med in for a very tight and long hug. he was still in his underwear. and at the end he told me he loved me which was wildly inappropriate and very strange and i left and i drove home and i thought, well, gosh, you know, maybe i'm being naive, maybe this is just how people in hollywood behave. maybe i'm being crazy. but i told my mom the story when i got back to her house. she was disturbed. she was concerned about me taking the job if it was offered to me. and ultimately it was not offered to me. they gave me the response that even though he thought i was great he decided he didn't want to hire an actor, which is fair. if that's true, it's completely fair, but i thought it was odd since they knew from the beginning that's what i did. i femt like i dodged a bullet. i felt very, very uncomfortable and like i was treated
1:04 pm
incorrectly in that interview and i was glad i didn't have to make the decision. it was good pay and the hours worked with my other nannying job and it would have been appealing if he wouldn't have been so horrible. >> why didn't you talk about it then? >> i told my family and i told my close friends but i didn't talk about it in any sort of public forum or with any of my industry friends because i was afraid that if it got back to him, i would have no career. i was a fledgling actor, i was very young, this was my dream to do this and i know how these things go and i know how women and it leads to things. i sucked it up and took it up as another uncomfortable thick that happened to me and i moved on but over the years as i saw him come out and defend roman polanski, i had a terrible feeling in my gut he wasn't a very good person and it just
1:05 pm
disturbed me he was so powerful and had so many powerful friends. >> and what you thought was the case is turning out to be the case and you felt as if you were alone in that respelkt and now you know you weren't. sarahanne masse, thank you for sharing your story. i do understand how hard that can be. thank you. i want to turn now to the wider implications. danny cevallos and tara set meyer, republican strategist and former director for california congressman. i want to start with you, danny. what are the legal implications? >> such a question. >> how much time do you have? >> we'll have to go strat to the end of the hour. first you have to divide it with civil and criminal and with the latest that there are reinvestigations and investigations by authorities
1:06 pm
and law enforcement, harvey weinstein has to be worried about statute of limitations which vary across the country. the modern trend is to have no statue of limitations. in other words, the prosecution could bring their case decades and decades after the alleged incident, but the less serious the crime, the less serious the civil offense, the shorter the statute of limitations, but ultimately these things, all statutes of limitations are arbitrary. they're lines drawn in the sand for which we say for whatever reason after this date, the memories have faded -- >> we have two victims alleged rape at this point. could this turn into a bill cosby sort of case? let's get to the nuts and bolts of this. could harvey weinstein see jail at the end of the day? >> for example, the statute in california, after 2017 there is no statute of limitations for rape.
1:07 pm
but in cases before that -- i thought statute of limitations was foregone when it came to bill cosby. >> no, no. it was only within pennsylvania and it came within a few days of filing statute of limitations. in california, ten years except for cases that have been committed after 2017. >> tara, we have a lot of powerfuling ifs out there from president obama to hillary clinton to meryl streep who say they didn't know about it. this seems to me it was an open hollywood secret. seth macfarlane joked about it a couple of years ago. do you buy it? >> i don't. it was one of the worst kept secrets in hollywood. it was clear a few years back a "new york times" reporter was ready to move with the story and "new york times" made i go away. there's a lot of people -- weinstein was a very powerful guy. in 2015 there was a study done
1:08 pm
that out of 1,396 thank-you acceptance pieces, harvey weinstein was thanked more than god. that's how popular he was and responsible for people's careers in hollywood. so the idea of staying quiet in order to get ahead or the threat of losing their careers was very real and for so many people to be complicit in this, i'm sorry, but it's hard for me to imagine a all of his people in his company, his assistants, they're willing acome pligs. they should be held accountable as well. it wasn't just him but the people around him enabling him that need to be held accountable. there's a lot of hypocrisy. >> that's the thing. is it going to create a waterfall effect. >> one of the first things we do when a powerful man is accused of this kind of miss deed is
1:09 pm
turn to the women around them and listen to what they have to say and how they can be accountable for them. it's one of the ways we reinforce this kind of behavior. hillary clinton has nothing to do with the allegations and neither do the actresses. >> no, but she represents something that should deliver a message. >> sure. what she did was tweet centering the women who came forward and their bravery and their courage and she's donating the money he gave to her causes over the course of whatever to interests that help women. that's the appropriate response. spending time asking what women can do more to stop men from abusing women is not going to get us to the end of this problem. >> what will? >> we need men. we need men to stand up. the men that rein force that structure, the men that know about it, the men on the all male board at the weinstein company, they need to be the ones who see this stuff and call it out and help start dismantling it. one of the ways these guys keep doing creepy stuff is to make sure a few select people don't
1:10 pm
have an idea what they're doing so they can make the women feel crazy and less like will u to come forward. >> i want danny. i see his facial reaction. i want to hear your reaction. and jane fonda, her reaction, i knew and i feel ashamed. what's wrong with saying that? nobody's attacking her. they say she's brave and honest for admitting that she knew. >> it's nice. so many same men need to get more involved and everybody needs to report this stuff. the reality is the law simply doesn't incentivize whistle belowing in these cases. you can either stay out of it and stay out of a lawsuit or if you whistleblow, the reality is you're going to be dragged into a lawsuit, you yourself may have your employment threatened, and that's just because of the law. it's very easy for us to shut on
1:11 pm
a panel and say why didn't thee people come forward, why don't they complain if they see it happening. the reality is society and the law incentifies seeing no evil and hearing no evil. it's sad but it's true. >> i think there's a distinction that needs to be made from bystanders who heard about it third hand versus those who knew about it and allowed it. for example, it was reported that weinstein's contract allowed for it. >> why would it be in your contract? i would not put that in my contract. >> that's my point. what company does that. obviously they're aware they could do that. if he paid out that amount of money, it would go away. that's unconscionable in these circumstances. idea that hillary clinton and some of the people on the left are very upset and say row brave the women are, the accusers against bill clinton and others
1:12 pm
were not treated so kindly. >> i want to get a final reaction and him weighing in on this, isn't this part of a bigger systemic talk? >> of course it is. if they talk like that in the quote/unquote locker room. >> exactly. the one piece of hope i take with this is maybe no one is exempt from this. hopefully there's a lawsuit filed today. heaply he got subpoenaed. >> i have a fantastic op-ed i'm going to share at the end of the show from a victim of harvey weinstein that giets us. thank you for joining me in my premiere block of my new show. >> he helped dismantle.

1:16 pm
1:17 pm
nation's two most important republicans after a cold war lasting months. they have their backs to the wall. at the same time lawmakers are forced to decide what to do with the iran deal. they may step in to block subsidies. there's a lot to deal with. i want to bring in my guest panel. welcome to you all. jeff, i'm going the start with you. it was two months ago the president ripped at much mcconnell. is the truce designed the last, do you think, or was this kind of the last resort recognizing he needs mcconnell's help? >> one of the things i heard they're going to talk about is rand paul, that he could be a
1:18 pm
no-vote against the congressional budget. more to the point, h might be a complicating factor in the overall tax reform effort, so on this thing in particular, mitch mcconnell and the president may have a common cause even though as you rightly point out the two have butted heads in terms of personality and style. if the president wants to do anything whether it relates to health care, tax reform or protect the roughly 800,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers in the country, he's going to needs he republican-lead senate and house probably. he's going the need cooperation from both chamber, so he has to patch up this relationship he has with the senate majority leader. >> katherine, he's also picking some other fights too. just this week he railed on bob corker who said the president's recklessness threatens, quote, world war three. he represented corker had a much different role in the iran
1:19 pm
nuclear deal than he actually did. do you think he recognizes this there's a likelihood of a resolution after president trump announced the deal on friday? >> i think what we know is when the president is attacked, he's going to hit back. it's been consistent with him when he's been attacked in the campaign and in the white house. that's the way he operates. i think to the broader point of working this week with mcconnell and others, congress and the president are looking ahead to a midterm election year. they're coming off months without a major legislative achievement and there is a shared interest of trying to get things done particularly around taxes. there is a mutual interest to try to do something and they all realize at least for the moment they have to try to work on something together. >> do you think the attacks, though, katherine, are
1:20 pm
legitimate considering how he backsteps every time he attacks one of his fellow republicans? >> i think we know with all of these relationships, any sort of truce is in the moment. if the president feels like it's not going his way, it's certainly possible it's going to start happening again. i think that's the case with mitch mcconnell as well. >> kevin, let's talk -- who was laughing. all right, kevin, give me your weigh-in. >> i spoke with several senior republican aides last week, yasmin, and they were scratching their heads, how that helps them. they think that's just another distraction. when you get the a situation where every vote counts, look, behind the scenes they're talking daily with folks at the treasury department led by steve mnuchin and the likes, but, look, they're discriminate bling on tax reform.
1:21 pm
they've got to get it done by the end of the year. come 20178 the only thing they're going to be talking about is midterms. steve bann about also targeting some. let's take a listen. >> right now it's a war against the gop establishment. this isn't my war. this is our war. and you all didn't start it. the establishment started it. but i will tell you one thing, you all are going to finish it. you know, there's time for mea culpa. you can come to a stick and condemn senator corker and you can come to a stick, a microphone, and you can say i'm not going to vote for mitch mcconnell for majority leader.
1:22 pm
>> i want you all to weigh in on this. first of all, does the president even want bannon out there saying all this. and secondly when he says when the people are ready, i'm ready to lead it. do you think they want bannon to lead? >> they're saying he's only going to be backing folks who are against the republican establishment leaders. look. he's already made several endorsements out of the 2018 special elections. he's endorsed representative marsha black burch in a race to replace senator bob corker's seat. he's back in a new york con greggal race as well. look. he feels that he's stronger than ever, that he's going to reaction tell vat the conservative grassroots and there's a lot of folks in the republican party who that makes uneasy, but i think that only emboldens him, that uneasiness
1:23 pm
so to speak and there are a lot of folks as well who would like it. >> katherine? >> yeah. i would agree. as steve said, he is readying for battle. they're all set. i think coming off of the race in alabama, the primary in alabama, obviously the presidential election last year, they feel very strongly that there are lots of voters out there who agree with him, who are frustrated with so-called establishment politics and are with them on this. >> all right. jeff. 20 seconds. final word here. >> the thing that's so interesting is steve bannon isn't trying to attack the incumbents. h said he's going against all the republican incumbents. many who are reliable yes votes. they look at it and see a
1:24 pm
favorable senate map ahead of the midterm elections and are wondering what that means for them. >> thank you, guy, all for joining me. jeff, by the way, congratulations. he's joining us at a white house nbc reporter. >> thank you. still ahead, we're going beyond the scope into the stories you need to know about, plus, ahmed the heart alaska and destruction from the california wildfires, a miracle that will warm your heart. >> izzy's here. izzy. izzy, izzy, izzy. >> oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god. >> hey, baby. >> a family who only had seconds to escape the flames finds the dog they thought was lost in the fire. i'm going to talk to that family. there they are next.
1:28 pm
this hour crews out in california are gaining ground on several wildfires. at least 40 deaths so far making it the deadliest in state history. at least 11 wild fires. they've leveled 6,000 businesses and charred more than 2,000 acres. despite the damage, good news today. mandatory evacuations have been lifted, but as we're seeing people go home, we're seeing them arrive to find absolutely nothing left like a scene out of a movie. like the weaver family out of santa rosa. their home driesed to rubble and their dog izzy went missing with only seconds to escape the flames. thankfully somehow by a miracle isdy survived the flames in the wilderness and the reunion is something you just have to see.
1:29 pm
>> the tractor made it. the tractor is totally fine. izzy is here. izzy. izzy, izzy. >> oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god. >> izzy. hey, baby. >> i have to say i get emotional even watching that movie. you kind of get the chills. joe and patrick. there's the indestructible izzy. i'm going to start with you, jack. i'm watching that video and i'm not sure who was actually speaking, izzy, oh, my god, whoever that was, what was the feeling like when you approached and saw your dog running toward you. >> it's pretty indescribable. undulation, happiness, disbelief. he come around the corner and she pops out and she was wagging her tail. she was very happy to see us and we were happy to see her.
1:30 pm
>> what happened. why did izzy have to stay behind the. >> the fires were so intense and they had no warning whatsoever and so we left immediately and izzy got scare d in the presenc of everything a shenld ran off. they couldle go after her. they really had no time. i kind of got a firsthand look. i tried to get over there to them, and it didn't look promising at all for anybody. flames were everywhere. it was pretty intense. >> jack, correct me if i'm wrong, i believe you were also returning because izzy is your mom's dog? >> that's correct that and she wanted you to return to see if izzy was there. did you call her immediately? how did you give her news of the fact you had found her dog? >> yeah. we were trying to call her once we found izzy. my mom had been inconsolable. and so the cell phone service
1:31 pm
has been pretty bad because the towers had gone down. we were calling and calling. i called my mother-in-law who was with my mother and she cried happy tears. >> i can't imagine the hours he spent trying to survive those flames. unbelievable izzy did survive. what about your home, patrick. tell me what's length. >> it was actually -- it was the weaver family home, the home was reduced to rubble. there's a couple of walls that were -- exterior walls that were still barely hanging on but everybody else was gone. it was it was a really big tragedy to see that. my wife, she grew up in that house. she'd been there pretty much her whole life, and just to see what they've gone through is tough. she hasn't seen it yet and i know when she does, she's not
1:32 pm
going to be able to keep it together. >> yeah. we're so sorry for the loss of your family home. that is for darn sure. can't imagine what it's like to have to rebuild after going through something luke that, but i imagine you're happy your family is safe and sound along with izzy. jack weaver, pat widen and, of course, is z. izzy hasn't just survived a fire. izzy has also survived a bout with cancer between, so that is unbelievable. that erpg you, guys. >> thank you. secretary of state rex tillerson defending president trump's latest as surrounding the iran nuclear deal. plus, going beyond the divide in the health care conversation. i'll talk to a maryland mom who's sounding the alarm about millions of children in danger of losing health insurance including their own. it made me feel good, it really did. i would doubt myself that i could actually quit, but with chantix i did it.
1:33 pm
along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i'm so proud to be a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay. when you think of saving money, what comes to mind? your next getaway? connecting with family and friends? a big night out? or maybe your everyday shopping.

1:36 pm
it. the president said in his campaign, aisle either reform the '2k3wr50e789, renegotiate it, basically saying i'll fix these flaws or we'll have to have an entirely different agreement. >> rex tillerson on cnn's state of the union this morning. he stopped short of tearing it up. he's punting the deal to see if lawmakers can strengthen it. let's get the our panel. i'll start with you. they say they're sticking with the deal and they weighed in on "face the nation" earlier today. let's take a listen the that. >> none of us ever trusted the united states. it wasn't based on trust. it was based on mutual mistrust and i think that was the strength of it. it's not something bad about it.
1:37 pm
it's the strength f the deal. but unfortunately the way president trump is handling it, it's widening the trust, not only between iran and the united states but between the global community and the united states where the u.s. is not only just unpredictable but unreliable. >> ambassador negra ponte, your reaction to that. >> first of all, i don't think it's any big surprise mr. trump took a pretty strong stand against the agreement during the campaign and he's consistently criticized it. i think the main thing mr. tillerson said is we would like this deal to last for longer period of time. what we have now is an a agreement that delays it. i think that's the reason president trump took the step he took.
1:38 pm
>> he claimed they were hoodwinked and iran is guilty of violated the spur of the deal and they're not working and iran needs to be held accountable. what do you think about that? >> well, it's absolutely the case that iran needs to be held accountable and, in fact, they are. inspections are working. the national atomic agency which has the responsibility to confirm iran's behavior in connection with compliance has certified eight times that this deal is being complied with by all parties and so it's not a matter of being hoodwinked. it's holding. >> they say they have a legislative fix they're going throw out this week and that fks is reimposing -- i'm summing this up -- reimposing sanctions on the u.s. and iran if they're able to build a nuclear weapon
1:39 pm
within less than a year and sanctioning go back into effect if the country violates enhanced and restricting conditions. do you think that would work? >> well, there are snap back protections instituted in the deal from the get-go. they called for a procedure that if any party has concerns about compliance issue after it's discussed by all parties, if anybody has a concern, then those sanctions snap back in. this notion that the cincinnati needs to create a snapback procedure is unnecessary unless they're creating a snapback procedure that goes beyond the commitments created in the deal. that could put the u.s. in violation of the deal and that would create a number of problematic outcomes probably including iran stepping back from the deal and going ahead and sprinting for a weapon. >> right. john, i was going to say that. it seems like iran would be
1:40 pm
unwilling to do anything the deal designates. >> today they're agreeing to what they agreed. the point of the deal is not to end the program permanently. it's to buy time to change the underlying environment in which iran believes getting a nuclear weapon could be in-i nuclear interest but the fate of the sunset clauses, the key element os the deal under the additional protocol will last forever once iran ratifies those and that ratification doesn't happen until eight years into the deal. so they're implementing those provisions nowing but they're going to become permanent before the deal ends and there has never been a history of a country getting a nuclear weapons program under the additional protocol. >> john, what are the viable options short of killing the deal all together? >> i think we'll have to wait and see what the coming does. as i mentioned earlier, one concern is the lax of concern of
1:41 pm
the arrangement. the other point i didn't mention is the fact of iran's continued missile activity. that was really not dealt with at all by the agreement. of course, we have the up lying fact which is quite aside from the agreement itself that in arriving at this deal, the past administration really didn't accomplish anything with respect to accomplishing the disruptive behavior throughout the region. the support for hezbollah and the developments in iraq and syria and the behavior in yemen. so there's also the broader issue of what kind of relationship are we and others going to have with iran going forward and that certainly must be a factor underlying the thinking of this administration. >> all right. former u.s. ambassadors, john negroponte and laura hole gate. thank you for joining me. joining me now, the author of the book "losing the
1:42 pm
enemy: obama, iran, and the triumph of diplomacy." thank you so much for joining me. >> thank you for having me. >> i want to talk about your book's title "losing the enemy." what is your reaction to the it? >> they have not lost an enemy. however, this deal if fully impleamented meaning if both united states and iran lived up to their words created an opportunity to transform a relationship between the united states and iran that would address the many issues. if that was done, then opportunity would exist. i still believe it can be resurrected. but right now obviously it's looking very dark. i think what president trump is doing, i think people
1:43 pm
expectation thad he might try to kill the deal in one move. instead he's trying to kill it in two moves. he's asking congress to change it. first of all no country unilaterally can change this multi-lateral agreement. imagine if iran did this. so asking for impossible changes to the deal through a congressional process that is completely outside of the deal will ensure that the deal will get killed and then the president even said if congress doesn't do it, then i'll kill it myself. so all paths he's presenting would lead to the deal being killed. >> do you think the president could be pushing to kill the deal? >> i think that may very well be one of the calculations but precisely because the administration has telegraphed it so clearly. i think the iranians are being very cautious and frankly they're enjoying coming across as the reasonable party mindful of the fact how donald trump is
1:44 pm
really creating so much tension. today the french announced i would assume in response to what trump did this past week that president macron is going to pay a visit to iran. that would be the first visit of a french president to iran since 1986. it it clearly shows everyone else is going in the opposite direction of president trump. >> thank you so much for joining me this afternoon. >> thank you for having me. coming up, president trump's acts on iran are concerning several u.s. allies. my colleague will have more on how the global community is reacting to trump's decision. and also, how people in puerto rico are struggling to find the basic necessities. an update there next.
1:45 pm
so that's the idea. what do you think? hate to play devil's advocate but... i kind of feel like it's a game changer. i wouldn't go that far. are you there? he's probably on mute. yeah... gary won't like it. why? because he's gary. (phone ringing) what? keep going! yeah... (laughs) (voice on phone) it's not millennial enough. there are a lot of ways to say no. thank you so much. thank you! so we're doing it. yes! "we got a yes!" start saying yes to your company's best ideas. let us help with money and know-how, so you can get business done. american express open.
1:47 pm
1:48 pm
most of the power is restored. puerto rico is also facing a public health crisis. 70% of drinking water there is unsafe. and the nfl protest has gone international in germany. a soccer team locked arms and took a knee sunday in support of nfl players. and the novel "to kill a mockingbird" is being removed from the reading list. they removed the novel from the eight grade list over complaints of some of the language. and president trump and the december managementling of obamacare. how does this affect real people. with ooh going to go beyond the divide next. than our name suggests. we're an organic tea company. a premium juice company. a coconut water company. we've got drinks for long days. for birthdays. for turning over new leaves. and we make them for every moment in every corner of the country.
1:49 pm
1:51 pm
welcome back. we're going beyond the divide today with health care. president trump's announcement last week did can little to reassure americans concerned about their coverage. with open enrollment in aca exchanges just weeks away, his executive order eliminates federal subsidies that support health care coverage for a low
1:52 pm
income americans. those subsidies they amount to $7 billion in 2016 alone and 10 billion in 2018. the president's announcement comes as another critical health care hangs in the balance. the deadline to fund the children's health insurance program chip expired weeks ago and there is no vote scheduled to restore it. the program covers 9 million children and hundreds of thousands of moms to be. sarah breakingle say free answer writer and joining us now. she has two children involved in the program and joins me from baltimore, maryland. thank you tor joining me on this sunday afternoon. >> thank you so much for having me. >> why are you so worried about this? >> well, my two children are 7 and 3 years old and we have used chip since they were both born and we've never had to worry about if we could see a doctor, if they got sick, and it's not a program that we thought was going anywhere. this wasn't something that was
1:53 pm
heavily debated issue. this hadded broad bipartisan support from both democrats and republicans and then all of a sudden, you know, we find out that the deadline has been missed. my husband and i are paycheck to paycheck family. we don't have 6, 7, $800 a month to pay for a standard insurance to buy standard insurance so we've relied on the chip program and it's been a saving grace for our family. >> if you didn't have this program where would you be with health insurance for your children. >> it's a really good question. you know, two really important points, number one, i'm in the state of maryland so we're not one of the most at risk states. our state still has some funding left but there are states like california and arizona who will be out of funds by the ends of the year. minnesota is completely out of funds. we do have some time to come up with a plan and see what we're
1:54 pm
going to do if that does happen. but it might just look like taking out insurance that we really can't afford and putting ourselves in some debt, but the again, i feel really lucky because i have two healthy children which of course could change on a dime, but a lot of families that i know that depend on this program are not in that situation. they have kids who have diabetes, heart conditions, all sorts of things that they need to see a doctor for, see specialists, get medications for on the regular, so if this program goes, this is a life or death situation for many children and it's just -- it's really maddening and unbelievable that this lapsed. some saying this could easily be an skroefr sight, possibly. how does that make you feel considering how it effects your family? >> right. i don't really know what to think. it seems to me and the only thing that i've been able to come up with i've dug and dug to find out what really happened, but it seems that everyone was
