i didn't want to escape to be on the run, i wanted to escape and i didn't want a gun or a knife, i wanted to choke the life of those men who knew they were sending an innocent man to prison and for that darkness our primitive dark place i was in it for three years. i believe god came and tried to talk to me that he saw i was so fulthat iwas so full of hate i e any talk for him and i believe he said when you get over all this hatred is out of this bitterness, i'm going to come back and tell you my plan and it took three years for me to get out of that. the guards thought i could talk. can anyone here understand when you've been accused i didn't understand how can you go through death row, living in a five by seven, i didn't understand because i didn't have the money for a lawyer, i didn't know who i could turn to for help so i just sat in this dark place for three years. you talk about hearing this person laugh and it triggered something in you. i told you this before, how back at the time i started working with you, you created not only this community that you talk about the book club and

to move. i also knew the rapers identity and had a third party witness to key facts that i was unconscious before i was raped. despite these critical facts the sergeant greeted me with discouragement from the moment we met, making comments like these things are so hard to prove. it's complicated, he told me and suggested repeatedly i merely combined alcohol with my prescription medication, but didn't ask if i had taken any medication that day, which i had did not and asked if i really want this guy arrested. i was intimidated and rattled by his discouragement but i have not wavered in my resolve, it was like the twilight zone, since that first meeting the s.v.u. sergeant revealed not only his incompetence to handle the rape investigation but plainly doesn't regard rape a crime worth his while to investigate. his missteps during the investigation were shocking. i will give you a few examples. despite asking him over and over to please secure the videotapes from the bar i was drugged, he failed to

when he came to death row i spoke to him. i told him my name and i said i wanted to answer a question. why do you hate me? he went to save blacks and i said i didn't ask you nothing about blacks. i ask you how you hate me. because this is our first meeting i have done nothing to you and you have done nothing to me but i need to know. he could not give me an answer that day. and i told him i will be back tomorrow again. and i went back every day, every day. finally said man i don't know, i don't hate you. and i told him that i would love to talk to him for one hour a day. and over the course of years, i often tell mr. stevenson, death row is the only place i have never experienced racism. i didn't experience racism because we was all there for the same thing. we all just alike, we all eat the same slop every day. amazing, that's why there was no racism. none of us had anything. we all was trying to achieve the same thing. to find a lawyer, that is to prove our innocence. i began to show what love and compassion really was. in 1

open to that. i don't want us going down the path of waiting for legal -- >> what would be the reason for continuation? >> pardon me? >> what would be the reason for continuation, mr. president? >> just to keep some fingers in the pot. >> the apple on the table. >> you want to respond to that? only that? >> and i am a consultant and right now the different permits that you have, some of the permits if you are moving to move forward with is going to be a little bit noisy. the ones that you want to hold through especially with the stairway and interconnectedness, that will be much noisier. but we're just going to prolong the pain even more. we are looking at three months now for the total work of loud noise. so us delaying two of the permits and letting these two go, so a little noise for two, three months, and then another lot of noise for three months. it's six months of pain for tenants and while we understand that mr. denny has some legal demands, we did meet with the majority of tenants yesterday,

but if i had to be any other place, if i had to be some place where i couldn't be there, i thought i was the right place at the right time for the experiences that i've had. >> especially for a historian to see everything from one over the world sort of view. >> very definitely. to have seen how the war plans had been devised and the problems we had with contingency plans which ended up we had a lot of problems with the contingency plans in the gulf war. i knew about what those things would be like, but again, and this gets back and a lot of the literature picks up on this and it's true. and there were a lot of experiences, remember, all senior officers then and junior the general officers to include general powell and sclwarzkopf, leading brigades, were all vietnam veterans. how were we not going to screw this up. we now look at hindsight, how well everything went, how quickly everything went and everything else. it was not that way when we first confronted this. we were confronting a million man army that had done pretty damn well in a war against iran. general powell used to say we

turned out to be a lot better than i thought. well, i didn't know what to expect when i got back. as a cad et, you think everything is like this. kind of -- as an instructor, this is what the objectives are, teach it the way you want to. as long as you teach this and these are the objectives, we don't care how you teach it. the atmosphere was fantastic. >> who are some of the instructors you remember working with? >> let me see. we had -- trying to think about the european history in particular. the military history is what i remember more. we had guys like -- you may recognize some of the names, maybe not. cas casey brower, became a reagan military aide, in academia afterwards for some time. bob ivany, ended up being at the arm war college. rick swain. people you interviewed. skip basovich, now teaches in boston area. bill case was a classmate of mine. i'm sure if i went and looked at a picture, i could name almost everybody now. >> how was it for the family? >> it was fantastic. i mean, the kids loved it. the activities as you well know, you're stationed here now, so the area is

we have to pay for it. i want to agree with what supervisor kim said ther there s nobody on the board of superintendents that disagrees. this is a much needed increase. living wages are necessary. i want to find the revenue stream to fund enthusiasm so that we are responsible in our you can it during the budget season. i would definitely support that, i believe. to continue the conversation at least to try to find revenue streams. there are taxes we talked about and measures on the ballot and there is also in my discussions with the mayor's budget office. i understand a cannabis tax may be looked at as well. i definitely think that we need to be very responsible about where we are getting the money from. that is something that i think at least to start the conversation in terms of revenue streams it is something i could support this. is a problem, too, we want this out as quickly as possible and be supportive. we need to be responsible for the funding. it is something we all believe in but something we need t

i am there to welcome all of you. and he speak briefly before i turn over the event to our special speaker this evening, governor kasich. this is the final new england college president speaker series event of 2017-2018 academic year. a very special series event. i am delighted to see you here this evening and to welcome our very special guest, ohio governor, john kasich. [applause] you.kasich: thank kasich, we are pleased and honored to have you back on our campus. judging by the sign tonight that size of tonight's audience and the number of press representatives to his evening -- this evening, it is fair to say new hampshire and the nation are interested in hearing what you have to say. a little bitu about the new england college president speaker series. it was founded in april of 2013 and rings together leaders from the worlds business, nonprofit, academia, arts, public policy, to the room throughout the academic room to engage in live lee conversation with students, faculty, staff, community. our fourth speakers o

will be home to see it. i am looking forward to speaking to students and mentor and up and coming leaders. and visiting places in hawaii that i have worked for over my career. my goal was to bring the spirit of the aloha to the nations capital. in everything i do. in hawaii, will look out for one another and work together and treat each other with respect. i hope i succeeded in sharing a little bit of hawaii with all a of you. as i come to the end of 22 years in this chamber, and a total of 36 years serving in congress, i offer my profound gratitude and humble thanks to the people of hawaii. for giving me the opportunity to serve them for so many years. it truly was an experience of a lifetime. all i ever wanted was to be able to help people. and you gave me that opportunity. so mahalo and thank you very much. in hawaii, when we part, we do not say goodbye. instead, we say -- until we meet again. although i am retiring i see this as a start of a new chapter. a new season. and i am blessed to have made friendsh

to that end, i think there are a number of changes that we want to make today, and i want to speak to those. but i -- i really welcome this conversation. this is not in any way, at least coming from this supervisor, meant to walk away from or in any way undermine our transit first policies, which i absolutely adhere to, and the voters have spoken on. it's about really making this dialogue more fruitful for everybody. and i do want to say one thing that i've said to director reiskin repeatedly, which is actually this conversation has in many ways already achieved what it was meant to achieve, which is that the level of dialogue between you and your staff and this body has, mr. mcguire, thank you, has been so much better in the last few months. and i get it. it's not that you were ignoring us or belittling the board of supervisors. you've got a really tough, complicated set of challenges in a world that is evolving very quickly, whether it's, you name it, electric scooters, chariots, google buses, and central subways and vanness e.r. t.'s. but this has gotten your attention, and i think

but i am ready to say i would like to have a robust conversation and discuss these issues. so, i would prefer to send it back to committee and will do everything in my power to attend that committee hearing. >> colleagues, before we go on to the next speaker, an amendment on the floor made by president breed and the second has also been accepted. if we can take that amendment and put it to a vote. >> can't we take that without objection? >> yes, we can. i need to call for that. so, we'll take that without objection. thank you. all right. thank you for your comments, supervisor ronen. supervisor fewer. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. i want to echo what my fellow colleagues just said, is that i don't really know enough about this proposal to be able to say whether i support it or oppose it. because i really don't know enough about the situation that we have here in san francisco around resources. so, i know the situation we have here around homelessness and people on the street with addiction issues and people who are very mentally ill. i think we have all seen our

i want to address several of the questions that have come up but i wanted to first say that i do not think in a million years -- when weine stepped up to try to make our community a better place, we would have to deal with what we are dealing with. i don't think anyone in our community. we would have to deal with what we are dealing with. this should not happen here. in the state. in the country. to your question, and i want to address specifically the local level. familiar,of you not florida has some of the most significant restrictions on local government when it comes to any comic even the most reasonable of restrictions on guns, ammunition, or components. conversation,e a the governor can remove us from office. thing with folks like that is -- i don't get it. their argument is that guns do not kill people, bad people kill people. why would you want to make it easy for a bad person to get a gun? i do not understand. [applause] i can tell you, a couple of days after the tragedy, i came upon david hope who is waiting to be -- david hogg who was waiting to be interviewed. >> i want to

i don't want to be too sentimental here. i want to be clear, i am not done yet. i intend to run for the tape, finish the year. some of you wonder why i can't just do the normal politician thing and which is run and retire after the election. that is what i'm told the politically shrewd thing to do. i considered that but just as my conscience is what got me to take this job in the first place, my conscience could not handle going out that way. i pledge to serve the people of wisconsin, the first district, honorably. in order to serve the people in my district honorably i have to serve them honestly. for me to ask them to vote to re-elect me knowing that i wasn't going to stay is not being honest. so i simply cannot do that. so that's why i'm announcing this today. again, i am proud of what this congress has achieved and i believe its future is bright. the economy is strong. we have given americans greater confidence in their lives and i will be confident i will be handing the gavel to the next republican speaker of the house next year. just to close, i said earlie

i want to take them to deport. fire six guys that the what really interested on getting the job i into their family member someplace you're going to be able to stake. need to actually. do the background check and. see if. so when you think it's going to see their background it's not something that is a felony. you know people sometimes get a second chance. they say. it's really dangerous because the. district you tell me. i'm pretty nervous to go out of my so. my family already talked to the leader of the gang. permission basically you know. either forced me to get into the game. or detained at least to. ask my family for money. but at the same time i'm not because i got to. use the transportation the public it's a pretty dangerous place to go on the bus and. i basically don't do nothing you know all i do is think be on my phone. think of what my mum is do next she's going good. even my girl you know. what she's doing. we but i have a daughter on the way to know that she wanted to be a mother and i wanted to be a fa

to say everything that i want to say. you know we in the hood you know hey you know we're now in the slammer by the yeah we in cape town. just look around you. do not. make a make a days. i leave you i say. who what do ya do you have like twenty people living in one yard which is like all the checks and everything so i'm going to talk to them about it and figure out what they think should be happening what should be given to them what they feel is money you know being delivered and how they feel about everything that. we. must get. any indication and because young people in this tune. in and see in. the next. open when the wind blows these things goes like oh my sleeping can convince me it's so cold this is opposed to if this is me if we don't talk to was lying just because here. you know this blue top that was signed but i think yes it is a church but this is the place government was supposed to look at first because everybody got them because of becoming. well over. all over. the moon all over your life yes yes. anyway

that's because she doesn't want to. i feel like if we're doing everything that we can to abate the noise, maybe we can abated the noise inside of her apartment, too. hanging up a curtain which we would provide would make a difference in the sound she feels in her home, in my personal opinion. she harasses our staff and will even come downstairs in her bathrobe and mess with our customers, freak out my staff and i've personally had interactions with her where she's yelling and stomping her feet and threatening to call the cops and telling me the cops won't come anymore. my response to that is, if the police don't want to help you, what am i supposed to do? here, take these earphones, close your windows, and relax a little bit. as a person, i want to help her, but as a representative of the venue, i can't understand why she thinks that she doesn't have to meet us in the middle. that's the purpose of this commission, as i understand it, is to have the venue and the neighbor both do whatever we cannot to harm each other. we r

like go back to doing normal stuff. i tried to pick up homework and couldn't do it, and my concentration was just so shot so doing the journalism things like writing stories and like coordinating with christy, like how we're going to cover it and planning it out was really like therapeutic in a way because we had to think through what had happened and acknowledge that it was real, and it took me a really long time to finally, like accept that this happened and this is my school and, you know, stoneman douglas is a worst shooting than colum bip, and it was a really hard realization to come to, and writing the stories really helped work through, that and like at the end of the first article that we published that was about the actual shooting itself, we had to write the names of all the victims, and i remember like when i was writing it, i found it -- that last paragraph really hard to right because i had to write freshman so many times, and it was really heartbreaking to see like a freshman you just started school and you

speaking of youth trying to further their educational career, i had to make sure i had to go to certain schools because fines being released from d.j.j. and other fines and fees like university of san francisco, i was admitted but i couldn't get into because of fees and working at u.p.s. only making $10.85, so just think about that. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker. >> one minute huh? that's all we get? david elliott lewis. i'm with the tenderloin people's congress s.r. collaborative, san francisco police department crisis intervention team training program and other organizations. one of my concerns is our displacement and loss of african american population in the city. when i moved here three decades ago it was 17%, it is 3.5% now. i think issues like these fees which help keep poor people poor are part of the reason it's a structural impediment that maintains poverty and it doesn't help the city that much and it hurts the poorest of the poor. again, i hope you will consider getting rid of it and helping people who are at the bottom wrung economically under thr

want to and on this point. i don't question the motives of any member of this committee as to how you vote. with any nomination before you i the deepest respect to every seal member of this committee, and i mean that sincerely. there are many issues that goes to that decision. of any accuse you partisan politics as to how you decide to vote on this nominee. i hope you would respect the way we go about and i go about making my decisions when a nominee -- because i spend a lot of time particularly on the secretary of state, to come to a judgment. i take our article one responsibilities very seriously. think it is important that each one of. us exercise that independent judgment is also part of the tradition of this great committee. yes, i am proud this committee has put our national security first, ahead of partisan politics, over and over again. and i expect we continue to do that. will have to make a decision that way, and i respect the way in which we make that decision. >> thank you, mr. chairman. am in a uniqu

i went back to singapore. i realized that was not where my heart is. that my heart belongs to san francisco. i came back here because this is where my family is, the leather community means the world to me. and i've seen it changed a lot. i've lived here for 25 years. change is always good and bad. i've seen the economic growth in san francisco. which is great for san francisco, but at the same time with economic growth it has threatened the lifestyle and the cultural vibrancy of this city. which draws many people here. why i think -- [bell ringing] -- it's important to have this cultural district, never mind for my personal interest, but economically it makes sense when a city as vibrant and when it has many layers of cultural offerings, it draws people here, it draws tourists here, it draws money here. so for that reason, i urge you to -- [bell ringing] -- support this cultural institution, thank you very much. >> my name is jeff millard, i was mr. san francisco leather last year and the first runner-up at mr. international leather. i speak for myself

does to do better as a city. i think that's incredibly important to all of us and again i really do like director borden. >> commissioner: great. thanks. any other members of the community wish to comment -- you'll speak on director borden. >> i want to speak up in support of her nomination. she's a fantastic board member. she brings a unique perspective. her work with the small business community in san francisco and work with the restaurants. she is, as she said, a regular muni rider. i want to say she's a joy to work with and collegial and smart and fiercely independent and always quite vocal around what she believes. i urge you to forward her nomination with full support. >> commissioner: can you stay up. i want to call you both up because it's gotten attention from other members of the board and they've sent me questions. this is a general question but you want you wong -- both to hear it. it's more about proactively engaging with riders and the community to understand what their needs are. so for example, the

i can say to everyone here i made a promise to the bochi ball luncheon members that i would not come back to the next luncheon without correcting the situation so i'll be going next tuesday full of pride right before the board meeting knowing that we will be voting on this next tuesday. so thank you, everyone, for coming out today. thank you for your thoughtful comments. thank you for your patience. thank you for your willingness to work together and compromise. i think it does show that san francisco can lead in an area that could be controversial in many other parts of the world. thank you to everyone that came out today. i would like to entertain a motion to send to the full board, italian american heritage day with positive recommendation. >> commissioner stefani: so moved. >> commissioner safai: without objection that item is ordered. congratulations. >> commissioner safai: i want to call an item out of order. commissioner ho has to be somewhere. call item number 7, please. i would appreciate it. >> clerk somera: sure. a motion to confirm or reject the mayor's nomination for reap

but any way, i do want to say, i want to commend you all. you all are doing a wonderful job, because when you all came on this ocii, i commended all of you all, because you took over an agency in my opinion -- >> if we could have everybody be quiet in the room. >> it's okay. you know, ace talks, go ahead. no, no, i appreciate your respect. i'll talk into the mic, but what i would like to do, respectfully ask this commission, your oversight board which cancelled out, and they are he not going to meet anymore until september is ridiculous. i told you, secretary, i wanted the reports of the rops. i wants the report that you sent to sacramento telling the governor everything is okay in the city by the bay. i would like to get that before i go up there and hear what he have to say. now, i know you all look at me like i'm some kind of fool. i done reached the pinnacle here in city hall. i can't go no further. ed lee, he's gone. i mean, i can't talk to mark. he's smart, but he took the part, and he's only here for a little start. so the next mayor,

want to talk about. i am tired of debating these little issues because all we do is fight. and we need to somehow get above them and begin to solve those issues by having an overall philosophy that allows us to draw conclusions as to what our responsibility is. i am just going to give you one example. if we believe that injustice, and if we believe in compassion, then there would be no reason why we would take somebody who was brought to this country at the age of six, who is now 26, with a spouse and children, and announce to them one day that we are shipping you out. to me, that is not justice. that is not compassion. [applause] gov. kasich: we can't just deal with this from a standpoint of, it sounds good but how do we get , through to those who feel as though they are getting justice by shipping them out. and if we can spread this, if we can all do this where we live, i think we can have some major breakthroughs. and we see it in times of crisis, whether it is las vegas where people put themselves in ,

come out of important and a solid hour to join what i don't want to. know you will more. of a living i'll call it work or whatever or whatever and i want to. become one. of the number listed how it can only muster. if you wanted more of what a majority may recommend you don't want to be today you don't want to tell us a couple of what in your time we have people i mean to do what don't we willingly. really alleging what. the women. who were there all going in the. the. out in line of fire he did and did indeed say to you somewhat more than a movie. if. eric is taking him as a. little. my cousin just you my. thing. you know showing up in the months i mean you had a when you look at c. and then you got. into a mild. enough for him in there if wade and i like our washing in other wars and more to this year than i feel to see him again as i said she and her to give it up in the heat of. the. bundling them into the things that are hinting at ash. and that's that if. she's well then i'm gonna he need to have the money and. then she called that there were the

. >> i would like to introduce these letters to the record. >> i want to go back to my first line of questioning. for me, all of these hearings are super important. when i asked you about the march 22, 2017 meeting, your first i am not going to talk about the conversation the president and i had. furtheren i press to whataid you did not recall he asked you that day precisely. iat seems to be going from know what the conversation was about but i'm not going to talk it,t it to i do not recall what was asked, then you gave a blanket conversation. well, if you do not want to talk about it then you can't remember it, i do not a highly jump to that conclusion. it is concerning to me because we need a secretary of state who will be for right with us and forthcoming as well. on april 4 this picture was taken. can you tell me what is wrong with this photo? pompeo: senator, you will have to help me. i have seen this picture before or a similar picture. >> what is wrong is that the united states of america is not there. what is wrong is that iran, .ussia, and turkey turkey is supposed to be our

you to supervisor cohen. what i would suggest on page one at line 18 is to say "nor be ultimately protected from displacement". >> president breed: okay. and just for clarity, supervisor peskin, you have a number of amendments here. some i support and some i don't. so, unless you are prepared to introduce them separately, i will be opposing them all. >> supervisor peskin: okay. >> president breed: okay. thanks. all right. supervisor peskin has made a motion to amend. is there a second? seconded by supervisor ronen. madam clerk, please call the roll on -- supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i wanted to ask supervisor peskin one question. would he be willing to include a clause to urge senator wiener to include additional amendments that might support local control? >> president breed: supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. i think that is the fundamental underpinning of this legislation is it takes away local control. that's why the city council voted to oppose it. >> supervisor cohen: the

to continue. i want to get supervisor sheehy's voice on this. >> one question, chair, to the city attorney through the chair. i would like to know if we were to submit amendments for next week's budget and finance committee meeting, would we have to submit those amendments by this friday? >> i would need to contact my colleague to determine if he has time to do the amendments. in terms of whether the board can consider them next week, you could if it were substantive and there would need to be a hearing before the board could take the action on the substantive amendments. if it were not available to the public by the time the meeting was noticed. >> for clarification you are telling me you don't know if the deadline would be this friday to submit any amendments at all if they be substantive or not? >> we would prefer the earlier the better, i'm sure. friday would be better. >> the end of the week is tomorrow. wondering if the deadline was tomorrow, i think it would be near impossible for us to get s

i don't know how to do. so i don't know my bathroom i did. you know i don't i would not be able to. i don't i wouldn't have them yet i want to. know how you out i know you. when i get up i read that. well that ends with one of these and well to element that i'm not one to lose you know women then and when i'm out there so you know when i'm going to learn a lot of it i'm going to laugh back and i didn't move on with it and if you did that a bit unless. you were. one of those who does it i'm just so i'm to you know i don't. remember it we knew that it was a going over and it could be. i don't know if you're going. to hear that this. and there when i was. going forward i was doing my room because you look about as i don't i don't deal with who you are some good some could do you people are down or down are you among the group that i was you know i thought it was so. much i'm going to i like to look you're going to land on. their agenda and when you're. about having a life you. know when i don't i don't know what band they're going to mine or i don't really know who they are about when i

i went to my mom and said can i have permission to build and and smash in the garage? 2.3 million electron both portal accelerator. i mom stared at me and said sure, why not. don't be to take out the garbage. took out the garbage and got 22 miles of copper wire and i built the atom smasher in my mom's garage. i blew out every single circuit breaker in the house every time i turned it on. my poor mother must have said to herself wife and i have a son who plays basketball, maybe if i buy him a baseball. and why can't he find a nice japanese girlfriend? what is he up to build is machined in the garage? but that was a turning point of the science fair projects i did in high school, or the attention of an atomic scientist. edward took me under his wing. a way for me to get a scholarship to harvard. he did exactly what i was doing. i didn't have to is going to him when antimatter was, what an accelerator was, what a bitter try was. he knew immediately. he arranged for me for to get a scholarship so that started my life as a physicist. brian: how did you meet him? -- our he ca

i talked to him again, again, again. i talked to the president again and again and again. what i hear from thep, no one is changing the mines. many of the wars were ill advised the gel is to get us out. that is a goal i share. so actually i want people around him who actually will give the advice and not try to persuade him that war is the answer to things. we have a variety of opinions and believe on which way the president us going to go in a good direction ored about and my side would like to go and stay forever but i want people to understand not only the country but i hope that the director will understand. but that what is aim hearing. i am hearing that from the president and the government particularly government that follows lifestylement think of think that is a recipe for 1984 to the president again today and i have not been give anything or promised anything i know a bridge built somewhere but i asked that we consider the liberty of the individual and the constitution and this will be a discussion the president has ever bit of power within every both power to cha

to do. it is hard. why do politicians not do it? because we are human beings and we like to be important. each and every one of us. we all. do. i want to be important but if everything we do is designed to make us important, we have lost use bigger picture beca before we know it, you, as long as you are -- i am saying, it is hard to give up the microphone. it is a challenge. and if you let your you get take care and control of you and we all do. maybe some days we do better than others and we need more on thewilling to put it line. doug was here. a great job in the legislature. did a great job. they come and they all go. you have been seeing them come and go since abraham lincoln.

so i would like to hold that and yeah. i think the main issue here is sound actually, not just how many days a week are they open and when are they open until 6:00 a.m., but really how -- what is the limit. that's been at the core of what we've been talking about the other times we've seen these guys. so i would hope in this good faith effort that it sounds like ms. milano wants to work in partnership with us around -- she can bring her third party sound assessor and we can find where there might be sound leaks still in that venue. what other improvements. or if she has a case and that things are not -- i mean, her evidence is stronger than ours. so that's to be determined, though. so i think we can wait for another day and if you would like to ask us to bring them back in in a month or two or certain amount of time, we can do that. otherwise, i think we can sort of depend on our staff to let us know when it's appropriate to see them again. >> if she has a challenge on the level, obviously she should have the evidence to sa

they gave me total freedom to go where i wanted to go and do what i wanted to do. so i spent a year there photographing combat throughout the country. in january of 1968, the ted offensive broke out and if you're a combat photographer, you can't fake it. you need to be in the middle of things. the more dangerous, the better. shortly after ted broke, i learned that the fighting was vicious. i traveled away. i went to vietnam as a 19-year-old u.s. army draftee. had my 20th and 21st birthdays there. when i went to way, i was 20. during the time, i made a series of photographs of 18, 19, 20-year-old marines in the midst of combat. this was house to house fighting. they had never seen this before. they were jungle marines. but the photographs i made stood out. they were published in stars and stripes and life magazine. being published in life magazine launched my career. it gave me access to people and places for decades that most people would never have. now, my story in vietnam was truly a success story. i went in as an e-4 draftee, and shortly thereafter hired as the

and i try to say it's possible, because i want to be complete and accurate. can't rule it out, honestly. >> but in private conversations with you, the president would not say anything negative about vladimir putin, is that correct? >> correct. >> and did he seem curious, did he talk about efforts to try to stop russian interference in the next round of elections? >> he did not. in fact, one of the things that we were struck about, in the meetings with myself and other intelligence, he had no questions and i don't think anybody else had questions from his team as to what the future threat from russia might be. and the second piece that you alluded to, in the book i described an encounter with the president on february 8th, 2017, where he was explaining, giving a good answer to bill o'reilly where he said, in essence, we are the same kind of killers as vladimir putin. and i interrupted him to criticize that and read, i could be overreading it, but read a sharp reaction from him. >> you don't believe there is a moral equivalence between vladimir putin and leaders
