, et cetera, et cetera. that's what we committed to and that was, and quite honestly, they're still the fruits of what we're enjoying right now with respect to an asymmetric advantage, but the previous administration started talking about how do we get that asymmetric advantage for the next round of security and stability in the world and we're still arguing about exactly what that is, but you hear about it in the news with respect to space, cyber, ballistic missiles, the ability to deliver nukes on ballistic missiles, et cetera, et cetera. those are the kinds of things explored. i could talk about this topic all day long, but offsets, every three decades we need an offset and that's kind of where we are. and once i start talking about syria, you'll understand why. the bottom line is, today russia has caught up. so what's different about today's environment and today's offset? there's a whole list. there's hybrid warfare. there's nonstate actors, there's state, cyber, missiles, nuke proliferation and the sta

they would not be going to schools the way free people wanted them to, et cetera. the mississippi law was so bad that it even did not allow black people to own land, right? they could not -- if they didn't own land, they would be forced to work for the whites, forced to work in the planplantations. every legal or political trick to restrict black freedom and have them working virtually as slaves is what they were doing. black people could be fined and imprisoned for, quote, seditious speech, for misbehavior. so even trying to enforce the racial etiquette of slavery, whites who gave -- they were not allowed to own arms or knifes or anything like that. and whites would give them liquor or arms or traded with them could also be imprisoned and fined. it was literally like the slave codes. it sort of regulated black freedom so drastically to make a mockery of it. alex has a question. >> do you think that the 13th amendment, with the exception to like as a punishment, they can use slavery, had like a playing with the black codes throughout the south, because they could t

has this broad reach in these conversations about african-american's birth control, eugenics, et cetera. >> what is her time sflframe? >> probably starting in the teens through the '40s and '50s. >> in the black community, is she at all controversial today? >> she is, because a lot of theis try that i'm talking about in my dissertation hasn't sort of seeped into a lot of the sort of modern, more popular discourse about margaret sanger. there's a lot of controversy, because people make organizations like planned parenthood are trying to decimate the black population through abortion, et cetera. and there isn't a lot of knowledge about this collaborative past where margaret sanger and african-americans sort of team up, because they think the project of birth control is beneficial to the future of the race. >> what >> what do you hope will happen as a result of your work? >> well, i hope that people will sort of get a bittetter understanding the way eugenics, birth control and these ideas have a much broader reach than a lot of -- a lot of work that is presently shown, because these really

with placards saying kkk, call home your troops, they want federal troops to leave the south, et cetera. so just looking at that image can you think of what may have been some of the issues of reconstruction? anyone? ryan? >> probably was the need for federal troops to secure rights in the south because they feared that confederates would retake or take back and try to like force slavery almost back on the newly freed men in all but name. >> excellent. excellent. you know, that's exactly what i think the picture illustrates, right? that there may be a danger that once the federal troops leave that southern whites would want to go back to the way things were, so then what was the war fought about? you know, that is a real danger. and the fact that the rights of black people are so connected with the presence of the federal government, of these troops in the south, tells you something about the issues of reconstruction. black citizenship, you know, what would freedom mean for black people? they are no longer slaves. are they going to be citizens? are they going to be given equal rights? w

they are looking for economic independence, et cetera, too. we'll talk more about the conversation over land and labor and the reconstruction south but political rights. this is the origins of what he calls black politics. he wants to politicize everyday life, right, as he calls it. the idea is that a black person should move out of the sidewalk when a white person moves by. this would lead to really violent sites in the south. or the idea that black people should be deferential. black people demanded access to school, to the ballot box, demand access to public accommodations, things that had been completely -- this is why freedom was contested in the south because everybody was trying to define what rights black people have now in the south, what kinds of freedoms they should have. even though he calls it an unfinished revolution, unfinished because reconstruction is overthrown and it would take 100 years for these amendments passed in the 1860s to be implemented in america to another great mass social movement, right, the civil rights moveme

, et cetera. but if had my experience as a 21-year-old in 1964, i enlisted in the u.s. army, basically believing that i would be sent to vietnam. fate intervened and i was sent to korea instead of vietnam. every other class was sent to vietnam and then the class in between was sent someplace else and i served in the 7th infantry division in korea. but i did follow vietnam very closely and i was young, naive and wanted to serve my country. and that's why i enlisted. but at any rate, i made e-5 fairly quickly because i was in great shape, exercised, the whole nine yards, so when i got out, i went to college in 1967. and at that time, i was really following vietnam and i was in my sophomore year when the tet offensive occurred. so what i did is, i started researching how we got into vietnam and our involvement and i think the real untold story of vietnam is the beginning of our involvement in vietnam, which dated back to 1942, and i think that's the real untold story. and if people want to understand

wakes up and demands equal pay for his co-star, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. you think of that aspect of it? >> i think that there is -- i don't disagree. i think that there's a system in place that has a very wonky set of rules. it seems kind of one-sided, but like any system it is not would be element at fault. it is normally like a confluence of things. i think that, you know, part and parcel with sexism, there's almost like a powerism that's in play as well, you know, where it has just been accepted for too long that those with power are allowed to abuse it. and because of sort of, you know, the male-dominated nature of a lot of systems in the world, it is the men who have the power, who are able to abuse it. i do think that there is a big role to play, you know. i think that there is, you know, curt vonnegan said it well when he said artists are like the canaries in the coal mine because we're sensitive to what is going on and they'll kill us first because we're so sensitive. this movie finding its genesis in the entertainment industry shows you something

he was somebody we could hold up to virtue, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. but there was a problem and this developed in the south particularly. the problem was that at appomattox, grant gave the south a very, very, very good surrender term. great surrender terms. so as a result, it was hard for southerners in the late 19th and into the 20th century to say that grant was a loser, that he was terrible, he was awful, because most americans, whether northerners or southerners, saw grant as the most important figure of that particular century. i would dare say that most of the stories that we have heard about grant, if you read the literature that's coming out, are simply not accurate. finally, the big thing about grant was as president, one of the biggest things that he did, he wanted to make sure that the results of the civil war were followed. and that meant, of course, that african-americans would become equal citizens in this particular nation. so he fought to make sure this happened. he squashed the ku klux klan. he did a lot of things like that. did it wo

it's an extraordinary of uniforms, appearance, et cetera. it's an extraordinary of uniforms, appearance, et cetera possible. it's an extraordinary of uniforms, appearance, et cetera. it's an extraordinary of uniforms, appearance, et cetera possible. it's an extraordinary of uniforms, appearance, et cetera possible. it's an extraordinary of uniforms, appearance, et cetera possible. it's an extraordinary of uniforms, appearance, et cetera possible. it's an extraordinary of uniforms, appearance, et cetera. it gives you a sense of it's taken an elite unit and portraying them as the every men which is in way doubly wrong. these would have been exceptional soldiers by standards of the u.s. army at the time. i would argue, although people might get upset with me that for the vast majority of our infantry in the second world war, they were civilians in uniform. our level of training and cohesion by this stage were nowhere near where they needed to be. we can look forward and see the battle of the budge that can take place slightly less in six months

again, those malefactors of great wealth, the trusts, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, so that's the whitney family, but quentin's fiancee, flora payne whitney, is known as foofy. her mother is gertrude vanderbilt, and she is a descendant of commodore vanderbilt and all those other vanderbilts. her uncle was one of the -- was alfred guinn vanderbilt, who was on the titanic in 1912 when it goes down. if you know the story about the very rich fellow and his wife who are putting people in lifeboats ahead of them and really putting everyone ahead of themselves and dying with incredible grace and courage, that's alfred guinn vanderbilt. she has another uncle who is less heroic. his name is reginald claypool vanderbilt, which sounds like a jackie gleason character, okay? and like a jackie gleason character, he's an alcoholic, okay? not uncommon in anyone's family. but he marries for a second time, sort of late, and he has a little baby girl before he dies 18 months later. and that baby girl is gloria vanderbilt. and her child is anderson cooper, so this family has a lot of connections here

were building, minorities for voting and there are certain things, whether it's environmental et cetera. there was an environment in which economic success developed which is not at all democratic party think that's another angle they would throw out. >> with these headwinds, how much is a bad thing that happened to us, like. [inaudible] is a challenge for growth versus a reflection of some policy problem or political problem. many of the things you describe them to be facts about the world, not some particular problem that we've got. >> i actually take the view that it is a fundamental policy problem. remember i said there were six economic headwinds but i thought about the second half my book talking about what i considered to be the biggest headman of all which is myopia. it's not just myopia and shortsightedness in business, i think i devoted a whole chapter talking about some of the challenges of business myopia that countries are grappling with but it's also about short-term and politics. in that respect that you think this is not some absorbent thing that's happening. i think it'

especially if you have a baby stroller, wheelchair, shopping start, et cetera. i myself have trouble doing this. the proposed stop is open and visible with a lot of eyes. it is in front of saint mary's cathedral. you can see what is going on there. you don't have to be afraid to stand and wait for the bus. it's' year to get on and off. the proposed stop is the site of community meetings, conventions, tourists and pilgrim destinations as well as a landmark and architect actual gem in our city. here is a list of community stakeholders who support relocating the stop to goff and gerry. m.t.a. accessibility advisory committee or mack. the m.t.a. owned advisory supporting supports relocation, yes, you heard that right. senior disability action supports relocation. the cathedral saint mary's cathedral. the cathedral hill tower homeowners association. the dr. ellen clark, grace cathedral. patricia tuttle, mr. don lee, mr. murray, fifth church of christ the scientist 450 or farrell street. deconan see brian. robert brown stone attorney, sean fletcher. >> thank you. >> s

pete seager, et cetera, et cetera. sometimes these people and organizations are investigated for decades. these are not violent revolutionary threats. but rather those that oppose certain aspects of u.s. government policy and perhaps even the particular form of government that we have but they do so through specific means noted in the constitution. not so much the tour of the century when this is strictly policed. political spine will begin around 1908 and 1909 and we'll then stop about a decade. and will raise a lot of concerns about government surveillance. the seattle general strike shuts down that city. tens of thousands of workers go on strike across industries. in the spring a bomb plot is broken up and then there's a wave of bombings in the summer. targeting prominent people. his house is down around right before you get to the main circle there where r hits massachusetts. i realized at some point that was his house and i have been driving by it for years. it's super weird. the bureau of investigation creates th

other than sort of talking about penance fust thing and cetera et cetera the things that we usually hear from the vatican there was anything concrete really even by way of policy that would actually bring about what has been no trumpeted for sixteen years ciro zero tolerance we've been hearing a lot about zero tolerance for a very long time this has clearly not materialize and this letter that's not. in any evident way in india there are direct these of course could change when the pope goes to ireland but it's all right now delivered self-esteem not show that way and why what did write the letter is he under pressure or is this a strategic move. by the noise i think i think he was honestly forwards into this decision which he actually had to say something there are a couple of things that happened in the last few days one of them he said well. the cardinal who were such seated with pittsburgh with the pittsburgh. brienne who were sexually and who was actually involved in the reporter mentioned the reporter was for as was supposed to be the note speaker narron and was for is essentially

it was just a little brawl, a little argument, et cetera. pt pulls out a knife right away. other witnesses testified at the rice and the bottom line in this cases he had everything to lose. we are in 1859. nine months before the republican nomination. can you imagine today a political candidate taken on a controversial case what the public wants a conviction in the case. the community wanted a conviction. >> this is in illinois? >> eskimo springfield, illinois. he took the case with everything to lose and retell the story of this trial and we really started without the edges using the transcript is kind of the yoke of the story. >> will come back to the dynamic nature of this trial, but you've been in pursuit of a hot trial to cover is nothing new even though you attack to the 19th century to do it. what got you on the path to being illegal journalists, which i should point out at a time when i was really a hot thing to do in the 90s, when it was trial after trial when we first met. >> a lot of it is just being in the right place at the right time. i started at court tv. i

all of your acts, et cetera. the american public, the church organizations that have been helping, will know you for what you are. and evil, abnormal beast. you are done. king, there is only one thing left for you to do. you know what it is. you have 34 days to do this. you are done. there is one way out for you. you better take it before your filthy, abnormal, fraudulent health is bared to the nation. the fbi encourages martin luther king to kill himself, because he is such a threat to the nation, in their view. king did not, obviously, kill himself. the fbi offers to turn the tape over to the press. the press turns them down. back in such an era. the fbi backs off in the face of a looming congressional investigation. the timing of that works out in his favor. from 1965 to 1967 lyndon johnson takes over. suggests wiretapping should be outlawed. there are a couple of supreme court cases in 1967. in these cases, the supreme court changes its tune. says wiretaps have to follow the same procedures for a warrant. pro

and business et cetera. people came together on a saturday and really started to hammer out a recommendations. she has asked departments to take a look at those recommendations and respond with a short memo about where our interests fit in with the recommendations and what we're doing about some of those recommendations if we are already working on those. we are in the process as a department of -- in preparing that memo. we as a human services agency will combine our memos and sends them back as an agency. that is something we are working on and it is due at the end of the month. i think that's what i have for today unless you have -- that is what i have for questions today. >> vice president loo: i am just wondering, do we have the final budget yet thought about that apartment? >> we do have the final budget for the department, but, yes. the mayor signed the budget on august 1st, so we have our final budget, yes. >> vice president loo: what is the month? >> i don't remember exactly what it is. where is ale

and $1.5 million a year, ministers were charged with different sectors so education health care, et cetera, are paid 30 to 40% bonuses every year how the economy is performing and and i think many people will not be surprised by that kind of a model in the private sector and here is singapore and other countries i might add that are implementing it in the public policy space. they are also clawbacks and years later when the officials went slating numbers and were get to go certain outcomes, life expectancy et cetera, we are able as citizens to get some of the money back and i thought why not, we have seen enormous evolution, innovation and compensation in the private sector, why should not that be on the table and essentially force politicians to think about the long term. another proposal to increase minimum standards for politicians, you know, in 1960's in britain the average age older around 62 year's old, parliamentary and teachers, doctors and lawyers and some in the book that suggest average age is 40 year's old and many people who are parliamenterians become part of politicians and

. >> you wrote a book and the fate that has befallen them, mike flynn, et cetera, et cetera, paul manafort, rick gates. this is not quite the narrative of your book. if donald trump is putting his blessing on these candidates that are not going on to win and say the republicans don't win in a special election, do you think that's going to be a turning point for the republican party to start to change their strategy? >> i don't think this special will change the strategy. these guys are way locked in and the ones that secretly don't love trump, they are terrified of him tweeting or getting angry at them. the ones who do love trump, they'll ride in pony until it falls over dead. if there's a significant democratic sweep in november, there will be a lot of folks who make -- get to an understanding that the endorsement in the primary was great and incredibly helpful and desisive but in the general it's poison. i think we may be getting there and seeing democrats when they get activated by trump will crawl over broken glass to vote against his people. i think we're -- we'll see the test case to

things i hear, et cetera. we've got to help our candidates who are running. not just putting a woman in because she's a woman. a capable woman. and that's what i keep stressing. when i got in -- when i was elected, my two chiefs of staff, one ahead of the other, were both women. my latest person was a man, an old friend, from way back who was excellent at that. but i had several women on my staff, and i had women running my district offices. two of them -- two women. and we weren't together as a te team. >> did you think that your earlier career as a reporter and as you talked about the chairman of the commission, because you were one of the few women, do you think that helped prepare you for -- >> absolutely it did. absolutely it did. because when i went to the fmc, i really had never managed anything. i had been a key person on the "sun" paper staff at that time, but, you know, that was me, and i had two assistants. but all of that prepared me to run a respectable and honorable office. and i am often -- it's often quoted that my constituent service was seco

i'm pardoning because paul manafort's been treated unfairly and has two trials, et cetera, et cetera. of course, paul manafort chose two trials. not the government. you can see how this can kind of play out a little. >> in the second trial in d.c., i can tell you. the first trial was in virginia. in the second trial i promise you there ain't going to be too many trump supporters on the jury pool. >> natasha. >> final point, the juror that's going around and making the news, the cable news rounds this week, who did serve on the manafort jury paula duncan, is arguably, like, a huge trump supporter and she said she stands by the president, knows this is unrelated to the mueller investigation but manafort is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. >> she said she wanted to find him not guilty. >> restores your faith in the justice system and criminal justice system, which must stand up in the face of this criticism and even a huge trump supporter felt it's a witch-hunt, wanted manafort to be easy. did her -- obeyed her oath and she voted for guilt. >> come back and talk about the political cons

you have those 75 former cia director, senior officials et cetera who rebuke the president's action.ou're in touch with many supporters of the president, many republicans. do you sense them sticking to him on this issue or like yourself, do you find folks quietly perhaps saying this is too far? >> look, i realize, jim, a while ago that i don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. so when he said what he said this morning, i don't pay attention to it. i'm finding that more and more republicans out there feel that same way, and i'll be really direct. most of my former republican colleagues in the house privately they say exactly what i say publicly. they're just afraid to say it publicly. they know that this president -- they've got to watch him like a 10-year-old child so that the country will be secure. they're afraid to say that publicly, jim, because, again, they want to get reelected, and he's still got most of the base. >> is that a breach of their responsibility, though? >> yes, yes. >> if they believe it's genuinely dangerous? >> yes. jim, it's -- look, it's terribly dis

when he brought up obama's birth certificate and claimed that he was a secret muslim from kenya, et ceterawho harbored racist views? >> unlike most of america, i had a chance to take him to task on a lot of these issues, and i had a blind spot when it came to donald trump as i explained to you. i met him in 2003 when i was a young up and coming business woman, i wanted to lead one of his companies. he inspired me. i wanted to be a billionaire. i grew up in the west lake projects and i wanted to be wealthy and that's who i thought i could aspire to be, but boy has he been a great disappointment. and because i did have this blind spot and was blindly loyal, and i looked like the biggest dummy following this person because i didn't have that same perspective. and sometimes you have to step back in order to get a clear view, and i recognized that i was going down the wrong path with trump. >> trevor: in the epilogue, you give everyone a piece of advice, and you talk about how the president is putting us in a critical time in history, and what you say is he thrives on the conflict, he likes the

, et cetera, we're up 7.5% in the first three weeks and the idea that you can't ramp the tape that's already up. >> i don't think we want the fed getting too far away from their plan here and i don't think it's shangri-la if the fed steps back we have real, systemic problems and look, i don't care whether the fed goes in december and whether they go in january or march of next year they'll go and get to 3% and they'll do what they have to do and i think they're behind on inflation and i don't think the pce is the right measure and we printed 2.4, but as we said, look, today's durable goods numbers, you don't talk about durable goods numbers except that this is the highest print since the crisis i continue to think that the economy is in very good shape. >> don't you think they have time >> don't you think they have time on inflation? he wasn't concerned on inflation and he said the phillips curve is dead and powell is not concerned with inflation right now even though it seems like he's pushing himself to want to normalize or to get to the neutral rate i don't see inflation as a prob

et cetera. however, the main critic of this wallace, the other bearded guy, who was codiscoverer and these guys were on the same page in most of their work but in this element they were completely different, wallace was -- was a strong critic of the idea of adaptation of sexual selection, mostly because wallace was a special creationist, he thought that human mind had been especially created by god and, you know, inserted into humans by unscientific act, creative act by god, right, and he could not abide continuum between humans and animals, but in any ways, wallace critic criticisms of sexual selections were so strong and so well reasoned to the readers of the day that sexual selection disappeared almost entirely from evolutionary biology for almost 100 years, really until 1970's that sexual selection came back to the mainstream. so wallace was highly critical of sexual selection but if we look at the places where he -- where he was forced to admit that it could occur or might occur we see some

effect this, that the russians had trump over a barrel because of years of financial support, et cetera the fact is, in the nearly two years since we learned about this, there's been evidence, at least, of contacts, there's been evidence of meetings, some of which were lied about, et cetera, including the trump tower meeting. based on what you've seen, and again, i know you're not in the cia today so you're not seeing the actual intelligence, but as an intelligence professional, have you seen evidence that makes that a credible allegation? >> credible, yes, in terms of working hypothesis, not something you would dismiss, something that deserves the kind of thorough investigation that frank rooney said we're getting with director mueller. it just goes on. jim, instinctively now, it looks like there's more "there" there than when mr. mueller launched this investigation. this is proceeding on a very broad front with multiple threats. >> and we won't know until he comes up with his final report. bruce ohr, a justice official who happens to be an expert on organized crime. now, one pattern t

president bush, to use former soviet territories to stage, you know, military into afghanistan, et ceterathing then went wrong. is it accurate to say that he felt betrayed by president bush when he went to war in iraq and further betrayed by president obama when he went to action in libya and in putin's view, took it way too far to regime change? >> yes. in fact, vladimir putin described in detail how he felt betrayed by the bush administration when we first met with him in july 2009. we spent about three hours at breakfast. the first hour of that breakfast was putin explaining to the new president, president obama, all the mistakes that the bush administration had made. at the top of his list was iraq and they had him exchange about that. he said, look, you americans, you don't understand the middle east. you use your covert and overt ways to overthrow what you don't like. obama pushed back. he said, you're right. by the way, that really surprised putin. he said, you're right, you're the americans, what do you mean i'm right? he said i was against that war from the very beginning. i'm no

they like my tax cuts and i made them richer and the network is highly overrated, et cetera, et ceterae drift. that kind of talk has influence on his base. so you know, are there other ways of encouraging the kind of bold leadership they think you want to see or the diversions of trump on trade, at least? >> well, certainly we're focusing on the policies and not getting involved in the personal attacks that others may choose to involve themselves in. our point is this on trade and other issues. we take a genuinely long-term approach. we were out there in the field talking to american citizens and working on these issues well before the current administration and most current members of congress and we'll be there well after the next administration in years and decades to come. so we have a long-term approach to these issues. at this point, however, it is an important inflexion point because trade, the very prosperity that international trade his brought to the world, but especially to americans is at stake and the left and the right is guilty here. i look at elizabeth and it's ironic t

from private testimony, under oath, et cetera. but clearly he's concerned about donald trump, jr.'ing, what he faces here. and the very obvious legal questions are, one, did he lie in his sworn testimony before the senate about the trump tower meeting, what he told the president, et cetera. did he lie in his testimony elsewhere, that's one question. and what does the special counsel have, if anything, to substantiate that donald trump, jr., knew or conspired in some way with russians, et cetera. those are the questions. we don't know what mueller has >> in the short time, i hate to rush you on this, but these are the shifting explanations for the trump tower meeting, okay? so first we have july 8, trump junior meeting was primarily about adoptions, july 9 the meeting was primarily about op research on clinton. e-mails were discussed in there and on and on and on. first we were told by trump, jr. it was about adoption and then "the new york times" and all the reports come out. and you see them up there on the screen. it's about adoption, no it's not about adoption. no, it's getting

when, where, how, et cetera. virginia law made that restrictive. we had to couch our language and say pending current litigation or changes in the state law. they are really quite -- they're as nuanced as the questions and comments that came from the public. you would think having written most of that i would have it all op t on top of my brain. we said we have to have context. add, think about it in terms of bringing in the artistic community and so forth. and how that can be created. then we talked about jefferson davis for richmond being the one monument in richmond that was more akin to the lost cause narrative and the style structure and language on the placards. there were options for elements of it. and we provided that. you can get it online. it's very much available online. at the website. monumentavenuecommission.org is where you can get it. it's right there on the front page. >> first i want to apologize this is going tore more of a statement and a question. >> it has to be a question. >> it's going to be in there. the current law preven

>> i think we all understand the importance of renewable energy as well as natural gas and et cetera, to that coal is definitely declining less artificially proking up coal industry but removing artificial restrictions over past few year to be more openly in free market without we saw during the past years how -- it is a targeted coal specifically tried to push it down, and going favor of renewable and whatnot, and that i think definitely this is going to be thought they thought lawsuits and -- there's some legal uncertainty. >> that's what i wanted to bring up of howard 37 states that challenge president obama back in the day. it seems that a lot of states are not against cleaning up air, cleaning up pollution but they want to be oneses in charge of that at least attorney general feel like they have a better handle hao wards on their state can handle mission and reduction in green house gases. >> sure. i mean, i think the federal government acted in this case the governments were not going to act and, obviously, having king the city across the board in terms of policy for -- clean ai

arsenal, et cetera, but i didn't see a tremendous amount in cyber war.s that somewhere else or is that buried in this budget as well? >> yeah it's in there. it is in the national security agency. they maintain offensive and also our defensive capability, trish. i mean flat-out just tell you, we've got the greatest cyber offensive capability in the world. it would make your eyes water if we talk about it, but we can't, one of the most classified things we've got in our government. that money is in there. we're in good shape there. trish: good, good. because i think americans have been rattled by what they saw russia do which was a form of cyber warfare to undermine our democracy, to undermine our faith and trust in our democracy. we need to make sure we guard against that from them doing that moving forward. in the actual budget, it's a little bit lighter than the president wanted. is that okay? >> yeah, this is fine. this is the second is installment as i said. what this budget will do, increase the size of the military. we've shrunk it to the smallest g

cetera.the secretary stepped forward and said it would be a good thing for the medicare programs for the proven capabilities, for example, that express grips does quite well to be afforded to the medicare program with the objective back to the first point of aimproving affordability with tremendous clinical quality the statements yesterday afternoon we agree with. we view them as an evolution to the marketplace and the combined company is in good position to be able to perform and deliver more value in that case for medicare beneficiaries through approved affordability it's using proven commercial solutions for government programs who prove affordability and quality. >> icahn said instead of buying express you can do a multiyear partnership. that would be better than buying them and taking the risk therein. why is that not something, perhaps, you would have explored or considered? i know you had a multiyear partnership a number of years ago. give me some sense there as to why that wouldn't be
