i think what mayor pete said is where the american people are including in the midwest. that is feeling that decisions about pregnancy should be made by the woman, by the pregnant person and with medical providers and not by politicians. i think this is going to continue to be an issue when you see not only the restrictions passed at the state level on action to safe and legal abortion but efforts by this administration to completely dismantle the national family planning program that provides birth control. these are issues that folk doss not see as partisan issues. i think they're related to why the republicans did so poorly with women in the november elections and i think it's a bit of a sign of trends in this country about where women feel like government is inappropriately intruding into their personal lives. >> is this going to be an era where, and it's a continuation of what certainly started under president obama and other democratic candidates, but where the lgbtq community will be deeply engaged in the election process in these primaries? >> oh, absolutely. in

think what the phenomena, the success of the american business is that mid size companies operate around the world so, manufacturer of lug bolts out of the midwest supplies into china to go on cars manufactured there is a successful company. and we have to help companies like that figure out the world so not only is the it the largest companies as the world -- the global economy's taking place, smaller, mid-size companies operate on a global basis, and we have to -- and if we weren't there to support them, it takes global reach but done locally to make that work >> and mr. o' hanley and mr. scharf as you answer this question, pay particular attention to the unique custody services that you offer. >> so we process 10% of the world's financial assets and by operating at that scale, we're able to deliver our services at a very low cost. the american investor, pension funds, endowments foundations would suffer dramatically without us being able to operate at that scale. >> mr. scharf. >> congressman, what i would add to that is that we -- we service institutions of all sizes from very small ones to $300 million pension funds up to a $6 trillion asse
