shooters are part of this same culture is obsessing over serial killers or outlaws life bonnie and clyde what's with this strange attitude towards violence because it's definitely there. you know there's certainly a lot of interest if not fascination with perpetrators of violence especially when it involves children so i think that's why school shootings get more attention than other types of violence after all school shootings account for maybe one tenth of one percent of the homicides in the united states but because they involve children they get. extreme portion of attention in terms of media coverage and people's concern i see one of your works you know that school shootings are not easily correlate it with high gun ownership in and even districts even though they were they were mainly something out of order because so many local teens with easy gun access don't go for it do you mean to say that school shootings are largely not a gun control issue really does that what is it because if they didn't have any guns none of this would happen. and i think it's more of an issue when you're talkin

that is what i heard was kind of the way that clyde describes it. 've never heard him say it, that's what i've been told. reflecting a lot of people that i know in real life. i heard about, and i cannot talk about it here on c-span, i talked about some absolutely fascinating situations. very high risk, very high reward in a couple of my books, i brought together together the secondary characters. not only to reflect that kind of come router he in the challenges of putting a team in the field, but also to showcase another part. how does he do his leadership. we know how he does when he's on his own. he likes that. he likes it a lot. does he really like having to run a team? forced to take a team. it is being pushed on him. throw some curveballs. i want to test other parts of the character. hopefully that is revealing things to you. it makes the experience even more enjoyable. >> what is a toughest part for you? tying the pieces together? is it coming to a conclusion? >> i think the toughest part is actually getting started. it is amazing. authors are

challenging game brussels, she was filmed having what she described as a robust conversation with john she described as a robust conversation withjohn clydeill be possible to get assurances and to brett to —— back or deal. i have held a series of discussions with fellow leaders on the brexit deal, i was crystal clear about the assurances need on the back stop having read the views of mps in the house of commons. i reiterated, that it is in the interest of the eu as well as the uk to get this over the line. a disorderly brexit would be good for no one. at 27 level, the eu have published a series of the conclusions. the eu made clear, that it's their firm determination to work speedily on a future relationship or alternative arrangements which ensure no hard border by the 31st of december 2020 so that the backstop will not need to be triggered. if it is ever triggered, it would apply only temporarily and the eu would use its best endeavours to negotiate and conclude expeditiously subsequent agreement that'll replace the backstop. based on ready to embark on preparations for negotiations on the future partnership can start as soon as possibl

clyde, thank you. there are a couple things at play, his service and what he saw. and also the election of lyndon johnson in 1964 promising to let asian boys do that and not american soldier. mr. webb? >> first of all, i want to say how much i appreciate your call. i don't know if you're seeing or hearing the camera in front of me, because there were a couple important points made there. one of the things i learned during the vietnam period, not just during my service, was to respect anyone in this country who was operating within our legal system when it comes to whether you serve, whether you don't serve. there were a lot of people who felt very strongly on the other side about the war. as david mentioned, no question about that. and the other one is we need to respect a tradition of serving the country for those who do step forward. the vietnam war hasn't been characterized as a drafty's war. and i did a lot of work on this in the 1970s, who served and for how long? how was it compared to others. two-thirds of the marines that went into the war were voluntary. w

what was previously assembled and that was somewhat mutating in another direction. >> i will start, i guess. that opens up a broad range of possibilities. for the most part i'm and clydeo into more detail on some of the things that we mentioned. with regard to the hra's, everybody listening knows what those are. tax protected accounts to pay for healthcare and premiums. previous to the aca, those cannot be used to pay for individual coverage so individual coverage was the only form of insurance that didn't get a tax benefit. there was an awful lot of procompetitive economic reasons to scale back the tax protection for health insurance. until that happens, there is no good logic for disadvantaging individual coverage. now the coverage in the marketplaces meets employer- based standards. so i think the logic of the hra rule is the sensible equity between the two market segments as long as it doesn't get used in a way that undermines the functioning part of the market as scott was saying. so i take the logic and i look at something else similar, what about the short-term plans. some stuff just doesn't work, we should allow room for short- term plans but to say short- ter

clyde farmers line. caller: good morning. thank you to c-span. whats the national farmers union position on cultured meat and the fact that we are importing this beef from all over the world and calling it meat in the usa? guest: there are kind of two pieces to that question. let me take the cultured meat, lab grown stuff. our position is it needs to be labeled, regulated. knowmers need to clearly if it is supposed to be beef that it comes from a cap. -- cow. if it is cultured meat, it should be labeled different. consumers may prefer that. it needs to be labeled. we have been long-term proponents of something called ofl, which is country origin labeling. we think consumers have a right to know that. we believe farmers and ranchers want to tell them that. we are proud of what we do, what we produce in this country. we think consumers ought to know that. what has happened, because this industry has become so incredibly concentrated. in the case of beef, there are four companies in this country that control 85% of the beef market. these companies are pr
