it's very similar to my central character, chet. as this went on in contemporary news it fed on where my central character became bolstered. that's what happens when you are writing a play. over a period of 3 1/2, 4 years things happen in your personal life and in the world around you that continue to sort of feed into the play. so the no no boy aspect, i just gave him a speech a couple days ago where he says, because i really want to bring up the issue and make it relevant to contemporary times. he says, doesn't anybody care what happened? they took away our rights. doesn't anybody care? is the constitution just a piece of paper that means nothing that the president can sign another piece of paper and then we lose our citizenship and they can do whatever the hell they wanted to us? it's wrong, it was wrong then, it was wrong now and i don't care what kind of questionnaire it is, i'll sign it no no and i'll yell it at the president, i'll yell it at roosevelt, i'll yell it at general dewitt and it matters. it has to matter. and to me

we have chet playing his horn, just playing his horn, kind of a bluesy jazz thing. that's supposed to speak to where else at that moment at the end of the play. as i watched it, i thought of some stuff we cut before. he used to say simple things. i come into your house, you come into mine. trust, that's all, just a little trust. i thought that would work really well. but i sort of brought it up and everyone was saying, no, if -- the music seems to say it all. i thought, well, that's right. if the music can say it without any words, then that's what we should go with. so that's a moment where hopefully if you have lined everything up correctly, at that moment that chet pulls out his or not after he's a blow out with earl and everyone, he pulls out this horn and it's the first time he plays, it's whatever he feels at that moment and sums up where he's at at the end of the play. that's what we tried today. the tricky thing is it's a built of a stretch of reality. ever have a character in theater ever pick up a horn and play who is not a horn player? unless you do it ri

good to see you, chet. we're trying to form a government now in italy.we go with very cheap italian borrowing costs. which some people are saying doesn't really know what the situation is. what's your view? >> it certainly doesn't mirror the situation in italy also in spain. you've had this wave of liquidity courtesy of all the central banks across the globe, the bank of england, the bank of tokyo now as well as the federal reserve and the ecb. so, you know, there is a distortion among the sovereign debt and the credit markets and it's bleeding into the equity markets. >> does the european central bank next week have to cut? do you think they're walking back expectations a little bit is why we're start to go underperform on the equity side? >> you know, if they cut 1% down to 0.5% or a quarter of a percent, it isn't going to mean anything. it's not about cutting the rate on the low end of the yield curve. what you're probably going to start to see over the next six to 12 months is the ecb come in with additional type of quantitative easing to perhaps try

the first person to suggest this was chet pagel -- chuck hagel back in 1982 when he was deputy secretarythe va. the fact that we are still processing things on paper is insane to me. they have been developing this paperless process for years. even when they do roll it out, which they are by the end of the are going to have a digital claims process, finally, it is not going to help this backlog right now because 97% of the claims waiting in the va are still on paper. 60% of the claims coming from the dod are still on paper. that is why we need the president to step in. that is why we need the leader of this country to start putting everyone else together and making decisions. they announced a joint electronic health record in 2009. they sat on the white house lawn and a spike the ball and they announced a month ago that it is not going to happen. frank lee, that is a failure of leadership. what we is leaders in this country and he writes mines in this country saying take this and -- and the brightest minds in this country saying take this. we're not talking about mining asteroids. we are

you are not equating them with chet -- tax cheats or shoplifters. what happened in boston was an act of terrorism. it was an act of war. you are calling a spade a spade. this is the most important i could make. enemy combatant is one way to achieve something. what we are trying to achieve with lindsey graham and kelly, that is the most important thing. our priority should be not to punish these perpetrators, not to prosecute them, not to rehabilitate them. our main purpose should be that we have somebody in custody that may know of other terrorist plots and terrorist cells that has information that could save lives. can they get information from them? tell them that he has the right to remain silent and we are going to remain ignorant of the information that he has, even if that means that other people will be killed and a terrorist act in the future. it is a mistaken decision to say that we will remain ignorant. aside from all of the prosecution and issues. we are remaining ignorant right choice. >> officials say the boston bombing suspects are app
