half, moved to new york and came in contact regularly with bill buckley and frank meyer and brent bozell, intellectual giants, james burns abraham, tried to be like them and read everything, wasn't making a lot of progress what one point i made a conscious decision to focus on direct mail, we didn't have enough people like buckley who could write an debate but we had some, we had nobody's it could market them to the country. i had a wife and two babies and i said i think i've got something here that will change america, maybe change the world but i don't know it, got to study it. no diapers and no trash, no yardwork, she bought into it. for 7 or 8 years i made a deep dive in marketing and direct marketing, direct mail. the microphones of the country in those days, conservatives message against blockage, new york times, nbc, abc etc. couldn't get a message out but starting with direct mail we could go around this block into people's homes and that changed everything. i can make a case ronald reagan would not have gotten the nomination without direct mail, john connolly and george h w bush

what is your take on the bozell 3 endgame?it does not have a big impact, ironically we might even get a little capital relief, but as it relates to our largest banks, i think the bozell 3 endgame is over the top in terms of causing our banks to have too much of a capital buffer it will make us uncompetitive. and this affects the economy we need banks to be competitive and sound, which they are. but some of this, you're talking about 20% increases in equity, will find its way back into impacting loan availability and the economy. so i'm hopeful that the fed was serious when they said they'll take comments from the industry, and i'm concerned if they don't. >> you know, quarrels had some concerns, saying liquidity should come from the fed, not capital.
