>> on monday, president trump honored trumpan code 10 -- welcomed native american code talkers. it was during this event that president trump referred to massachusetts senator elizabeth warren as "pocahontas," this is 20 minutes. >> how are you sir? pres. trump: you look good, too. how are you doing? [indiscernible] >> do you want to sing? go ahead. >> thank you. the president of this great united states of america, president trump. thank you for inviting us navajo code talkers to the capital and to the white house of this great nation we call the united states. today we have with us three of the 13 surviving navajo code talkers of world war ii. first, a 97-year-old veteran of world war ii. he survived a battle. his landing craft was blown up and he literally had to swim to the beach to survive. also, on saipan, he landed where he got shot up badly, survived one year in the naval hospital. we have thomas, also one of the code talkers who was on iwo jima. a tough battle. three marine divisions landed on iwo jima. the fifth marine division, he was part of the code talkers within t

school to learn to code. initially, 260 codewords all subject to memory-only. the warly by the time ended, 1945, there were 400 of and codeent to war words grew to 600 codewords subject to memory only. in every battle, to communication networks were established. navajo munication network, all top-secret confidential messages. the second, english network for all of messages. in every battle, on the frontline beach command post, command ship, code talkers were used. ewok -- iwa, of major connors said the first battle over 400 messages were sent by the fifth marine division only. the first 48 hours, over 800 messages. major connor also said without navajo, marines never would have taken the island of iwo jima. [applause] >> so thank you very much. the 13 of us, we still have one mission and that mission is to build national navajo code talker museum. we want to preserve this unique world war ii history for our children, grandchildren, your children, your grandchildren to .o to that museum why? because what we di

of the german naval codes, the u-boats, the japans nave codes, the japans army. they were reading signals from around the world, including some from north africa. so it was an tester recruit college women secretly. women were tapped, called in to private interviews with math professors and astronomy professors. asked who questions do you like crossword puzzles and are you engaged to be married? and a number of them actually lied at the second question and said they were not because whatever they were being invited to do sounded more interesting than waiting around while their fiancee was fighting and was risking his life in the war. so, the women came to washington. those women joined the navy and would be joined by enlisted women as well, women who had not had the benefit of a college education, who came from california, oklahoma, all over the country, and if they had at the aptitude, they were routed into the giant code-break compounds in washington, and the army was recruiting for codebreakers of its open. they hit upon a strategy to send handsome young army o

we said from the beginning this is not our tax code. it lost to the american people. we took it down the foundation and begin to rebuild it the way the american people want it. in the toy for century, not 30 or 50 years ago. we listened, our lawmakers listened to their constituents, families, and businesses and this tax reform reflects the priorities of the american people. >> the idea that you had to expand the rackets on the corporate and personal side, and raising where some of the brackets fell, is part of that because you had to get this to fit in the reconciliation rules on the -- in the senate because of that deficit spending and that is why that went up and went much higher? downe rate -- rates went in the family brackets providing more tax relief. one of the reasons we will have strong middle-class tax relief but we are going to have tax relief for families who live in these high tax states. we made that commitment to our lawmakers, we will improve the bill and we achieved that and we deductiona $10,000 for self taxes, families can fill it out. with the way t

i am convinced and members are as well we can do more to improve this tax code. i am hopeful democrats -- but they are defending the status quo, i hope they rethink that and work with us to improve the code. thank you. >> kevin mccarthy has announced the house will vote on the bill on tuesday. the tax reform bill is now available online. tofind that, go c-span.org/congress and watch the debate vote live tuesday on c-span. next, live, your calls and comments on "washington journal." and then president trump, chuck schumer, and nancy pelosi. followed by the joint conference committee meeting on the tax bill. speeches, election from the candidates in the alabama senate election. we can come on american history tv on c-span3, today at 6:00 p.m. eastern on the civil war, general's love to hate. confederate general joseph johnston. johnston's critics argued that his timidity was his enemy and his competitive miss -- and his ambativeness -- made him contributing factor in confederate defeat. to these critics, johnston was the real mcclellan of the west.

fixing the tax code will help us get that economy. produces more careers, it pulls people who are on the sidelines, not even being counted, that's what helps. one more. [inaudible] >> it's a completely legitimate question. each of these questions make their own decisions on how to proceed but that's why we've asked greg and other members to come up with standards, come up with a system to update and upgrade the accountability act. that is now happening. you will see chairman harper rollout a slew of reforms to upgrade this law. when you get into this yet also keep in mind the victims themselves, what is it that they need to protect their interest in equity. that's why we taking time to get this right. you saw that we pass mandatory training, those regulations is coming due this week and you're also going to see the house administration committee put out a whole new slew of reforms so we have basic standards. thank you.

americans deserve a new tax code for a new era of american prosperity. that is what the tax cuts and jobs act does. as we head to the vote, we will also be able to finally -- because the house and senate versions were different -- families, small businesses, and our local businesses that compete around the world will now have a bill to analyze and embrace. i'm very excited about this moment. it has been 31 years in the making and took a lot of hard work. it took a lot of people to make this day happen. i am proud of the tax cuts and jobs act. we'd be glad to take some questions. >> at the start, you were talking about four brackets, filing on a postcard, simplicity. it doesn't look like that anymore. >> with the standard deduction nearly doubled, the postcard still remains. are there a few more items? sure. that was the process we wanted. we said from the very beginning this isn't our tax code. it belongs to the american people. in the house, we took it down to the foundation and began to rebuild it the way the american people want it in the 21st century

any subsequent permit that would meet the planning code and the building code and all other requirementscould be approved in the future. nsr is a notice of special restrictions that would be reported on the property to document any specification conditions of approval put on, and i was thinking about what conditions kind of long-term do you want, not necessarily just limiting the scope of work for that permit, but what additional conditions you want to apply to that, whether that be no this or no that or no more than this or no more than that. if you wanted to apply those types of conditions of approval in perpetuity that just go beyond this permit, that's the kind of thing that would be used to report the conditions of approval. that's what we do at the planning department. if you have an entitlement those conditions are recorded on the property as a condition of approval. the zoning administrator has the authority to put those kind of conditions on a building permit, as well as any kind of entitlement, and again, those conditions can run in perpetuity in addition to the permit. >> and

consider the tax code to criminal code. imagine a tech engineer with stock options versus a public schoolteacher. white collar crime versus class-a drug offense. what i'd like to do to bring that point home is to make some observations from projects that have been suspended, to share in these cases some of the observations you can make about sections 317, parties have been suspended. one thing in common for all these suspended cases a structure has been demolished. key differences, the length of suspension between -- before hearing or decision have ranged from four months to 22-plus months. where the hearings are held or required, not always. some cases, no hearings are held. whether upzoning is required, fun so far. in one case, you eliminated all projects permitting expansion of the building size. in some cases, up to four times larger. so let me just go through quickly some examples just to bring home these points. this is a picture of 24 to 26 ward street in corunna heights. it was suspended for 17 months. for working w

americans will have a new tax code for the new year. but california congressman mike thompson thinks differently and posted, republicans just dropped their final tax bill, and it is just as bad as we expected. massive tax breaks for the richest and corporate interests with tax >> for the middle class. i will vote against this bill, and i hope my republican colleagues come to their senses and do the same. here is a look at our primetime schedule. starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern, an interview with mercedes schlatter, a senior white house adviser for strategic communications. on c-span2, a briefing with attorney general jeff sessions on the justice department's efforts to reduce violent crime, and on c-span3, a forum on what is being done to boost american business productivity and innovation. >> this weekend on "american history tv" on c-span3, saturday at 6:00 p.m., generals we love to hate with author craig simons on confederate general joseph johnston. argue that's critics his timidity with the enemy and his combativeness with the confed

including the building code, the housing code, the planning code and/or the public works code. so, we are working on figuring out how to coordinate all those different modifications and what the specific requirements would be. we expect this to unfold over the next year or so and we thank you in advance for any support that you are willing to provide in the process, in the code modifications process. so, our next steps, again for the suite of strategies, the incentive grants and mandatory requirements. we are finalizing an implementation plan. we are coordinating with departments on an ongoing basis. we have begun community outreach but we will that, especially when our grant modifications are approved. we will do a big push to make it as visual as possible in our communities. those immediate grant improvements that we are trying to do in the coming months are increase our program funding, which was actually done a couple of weeks ago. our commission is funding pieces. we are trying to expand it for the additional project types. special assistance for low income. streamlined ap

and the planning of our tax code. this bill is anything but simplifying the tax code and certainly not providing the predictability. so, mr. president, the american people get it. that's why they believe this bill should not be passed. it's an assault on middle-income families, dangerous to our national security by increasing our deficit. it will hurt millions of people who will lose their health coverage and it should be defeated. with that, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from alaska. mr. sullivan: mr. president, i'd like to spend a few moments talking about why my colleagues and why the american people should be supportive of this very important legislation. historic legislation that we're debating now on the senate floor, and it's particularly historic for my state, the dpraigreatstate of alaska. there's been a lot of misinformation on this debate and we're seeing the debate, robust debate which is fine. i don't need to repeat all the arguments on both sides. but i w

article six of the planning code is kind of its own separate beast. section 205, and it's subsections are outside of mission bay are the entirety of what the planning code permits. >> i don't want to get thoo that. i just remember that as a temporary. and perhaps i'm quibbling over the two terms, public, and nonconforming. now if the appellant can demonstrate it was a paid lot at one point in time, that makes it nonconforming. >> so a -- >> a nonconforming use? >> if i can elaborate a little bit here. i mean, any use that does not conform to the current requirements of the planning code for that site is nonconforming. the question of whether or not that's a violation for nonconforming use or a legal nonconforming use is if that use is ever legally established in the past, so we have lots of situations where rezonings happens across the city or plans change one way or another. you may have gotten a house built in the 1970's, and now, it's legally nonconforming, at the time it was legally authorized, it met the kurpt coded. we have many nonconforming us

so in abilene when hickok was , here, they were talking about this code of honor, this code of the west. , -- o him one for westerne got it from fiction. that leads us to another. how was wild bill hickok killed? anybody? it violates the code of the west. he was shot in the back of the head at a poker game in 1876. there were elements to do not want a lawman anywhere near the game or any other activities going on at deadwood. so they encouraged mccall to assassinate hickok. they said he would be acquitted, which he was in his first trial, but then the u.s. attorneys got a hold of him, and he was eventually convicted and hanged. the judge said why did you not shoot him from the front? he said because i did not want to commit suicide. so he violated the code of the west and went up and shot bill hickok from behind. another quiz. i really like this one. it is reported to have been his favorite western movie. there are a lot of them. this was the second movie he watched after he moved into the white house area it was "high noon," which is a great movie, if you have never seen it. the movie

it has an agency over the code. >> if i could just add coding tools that will aid in transparency and accountability is i think one of the great frontiers right now. i happen to know several tour developers and people who are active in creating those tools and i think there's a lot of work to be done. >> could you share your thoughts about how bitcoin and diphtheria are going to attack us in the future? >> cryptocurrency. briefly for the audience that's an algorithms are used in place of money and they are not controlled by any government. they are issued by individuals and they are backed by algorithms of people willing to believe they are worth something. i'm going to give a shout-out to my friend stuart haber who had the first patent on block chaining. block chaining is a mathematical concept to figure out what happens in what order which is very important for buying and selling. now it's a libertarian currency and it's not controlled so the libertarians got exactly what they wanted. you can buy something that's worth $2000 and a few days later can be worth $300 and it rides up and

time 4:03, let's talk about that cold code blue and code purple. depending on where you are, the city of wilmington issues a code purple overnight. salvation army on north orange street is opening its doors to the home lets to keep them out of the extremely cold weather. those who seek shelter there will receive a hot snack, breakfast, and a shower. >> code blue advisory spanning several counties in our region. if you know someone affected by the cold weather in your county get them temporary shelter call one of the numbers on your screen, montgomery, burlington counties have declared code blue until tomorrow 9:00 a.m., bucks county code blue in effect until it will morning at 7:00. while camden county's code blue will be in effect until 7:00 a.m. on friday. >> besides limiting time outside, some reminders it comes to code blue wet their you probably already know. but certainly bear repeatingment like, making sure your car is winterized when antifreeze, full tank of gas, inflated tires and an emergency kit. just in case it breaks down. be sure to c

we wanted to enable it in the land use code and hence, the amendment. but the context of that conversation was very different. it just meant that as of january 1, there would only be these 30 facilities. that conversation has changed today. >>president breed: but based on this particular amendment, as of january 1, it would still be only these particular facilities that could add adult use while they're given a temporary -- they're given a temporary -- a temporary permit to operate and to do adult use beginning january 1 or whenever we pass this law and it goes into effect, and then, they would have to go through the process to do this permanently -- to do adult use permanently. >>supervisor peskin: and all of those, again, are subject to the same kind of appeal procedures that we previously discussed relative to section 312, whether it's conditional use or discretionary review, they have 90 days to apply, and if they don't get it in a kbrae year, they revert back to mcd's. >>president breed: and i think it reverts back to i didn't want any amendment wi

because we're building a tax code that works for families. and that creates jobs, makes america competitive again. and allows hard working families to put more money back in their pockets. there was a lot of hard work that went into this. chairman brady, speaker ryan, the ways and means committee and all the conferees who worked tirelessly for months. our attitude from the beginning was failure is not an option because the american people have been waiting too long for this relief. the last time something this historic happened was in 1986. when ronald reagan was signing that bill into law, he talked about how hard the journey was, but how he never gave up. back then the headline read that this was a day that many thought was not possible, but ultimately became inevitable. today the impossible became the inevitable again. >> it's a hopeful day, it's a brighter day for all americans and their families. and as you think about the impact of this package on every day americans, it's so clear. whether you're moms or dads or students or seniors or

and why the definitions of demolition in the planning code are different from the building code and whether our fines are adequate, i hope this hearing informs that future policy work. it's noted in the moving paper, as a matter of fact, it was noted the property was unaffordable at $4.5 million and now the finished product has an appraised value over $30 million people would not rip houses like this down if the fines are commensurate to that kind of increase in value. those are the kind of policy decisions i hope this hearing informs regardless of how we vote and regardless of the testimony away hear. thank you, madam president. >> supervisor breed: now we'll have ten minutes for the appellant for the appellant representative to come forward and represent your case. you're the appellant? >> yes, and will be using overheads. thank you. good afternoon, supervisor breed and members of the board of supervisors. i'm kathleen courtney for the russian hill community association. before you today is the appeal of the conditional use request for lot merger approved by the planning commissio

our new tax code says bring it home. spend it here in america to grow our jobs, our paychecks, our community. that's why this moment is so important. opponents of this tax bill, they don't really worry about tax cuts for the rich. they worry about tax cuts for you. because if you spend your money, they can't. if you have the first claim over your earnings, they no longer do. and if your dreams come before theirs, everything in washington changes. everything. given a choice between the federal government and you, we choose you. hardworking american taxpayers. we choose you, the only special interest that truly matters. americans deserve a tax code for new era of american prosperity. we deliver on that promise. because it's your money. mr. speaker, i yield back. and reserve. the speaker pro tempore: reminded to address their remarks to the chair. the gentleman is recognized. mr. neal: i yield myself the balance of our time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. in one month we have taken the entire revenue

you and i both know we have lots of people out there who simply want to keep the same tax code we've got. the one that moves jobs offshore, the one that moves corporations offshore, the one that makes it's easier for the irs to literally bludgeon not only the people trying to abide by the tax law but perhaps worst of all a tax that is the highest in the world when you gather together state and local taxes with the federal tax. what we're doing here today, i think what the american people asked us to do at the last election. that's why we're doing this. they were sick and tired of the 1.4 gdp growth we had about eight years and they want to move our country forward. i have seen the evidence that the stock market, among other people, have caught onto this. the stock market has driven itself higher and higher and higher on a steady basis to where we now can look at whether you're a senior, perhaps on retirement, where your 401(k)'s investment retirement or a small business person where you've been left in the cold and have a chance for this new year. we're taking people all across this

our new tax code says bring it home. spend it here in america to grow our jobs, our paychecks, our community. that's why this moment is so important. opponents of this tax bill, they don't really worry about tax cuts for the rich. they worry about tax cuts for you. because if you spend your money, they can't. if you have the first claim over your earnings, they no longer do. and if your dreams come before theirs, everything in washington changes. everything. given a choice between the federal government and you, we choose you. hardworking american taxpayers. we choose you, the only special interest that truly matters. americans deserve a tax code for new era of american prosperity. we deliver on that promise. because it's your money. mr. speaker, i yield back. and reserve. the speaker pro tempore: reminded to address their remarks to the chair. the gentleman is recognized. mr. neal: i yield myself the balance of our time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. in one month we have taken the entire revenue

a code of behavior that he learned in abilene, sort of a code of the west. then also the influence of the closing of the american frontier on his policy thinking. i'm going to try this again. william, would you like to come up and fiddle with this while a do a song and dance? but i can go right into ike and the western novels. as i mentioned, this is something he began reading when he was a boy. continued through his army years and his presidency. there was always an intent to play it down, especially once he became president. a lot of presidents a narrative is formed very early that kind of marks them for the rest of their presidency. and with eisenhower that narrative was well, he's a good guy, he's a good manager, but all he really wants to do is play golf with his buddies and play bridge. he reads westerns and westerns recent aren't terribly sophisticated. this is in contrast with someone like his successor john f. kennedy. and jfk, by the way, didn't read westerns. he read spy novels as if that was a superior literary form. ike like westerns. i think re

nothing is controlled by code any more. whether you are interested in fashion or media or music there are coding jobs in all of those industries. maria: this article on campus technology says 97% of flatiron graduates land jobs. >> it's one of the fastest growing jog segments in the country. not only that, somehow copier science graduates from traditional university are not nearly keeping up with pace. we are projecting a shortfall of a million software engineers. these are high-paying jobs. these companies are dying to recruit talent and universities aren't doing the job of creating enough people. maria: people think it many a young man, young woman's job. you here at flatiron are saying all ages try to figure it out and learn it. >> you were right the first time. many people think it's a young man's job. we are really proud to have achieved gender parity in our online programs and we work hard to do that through a lot of scholarships and partnerships. but our students ranged to 18 years old to over 50. we have had harvard

so this loophole in the code, code 40, to allow group hub space to seat 150 people and serve beer and hot dogs located on a small extremely quiet corner will bring in a massive influx of cars and parking. we have two thirds of extra drivers in the city, as a report came out in the examiner earlier this year, due to ride sharing. this is only going to affect this neighborhood and this corner. alcohol spurs monsters, and bringing alcohol into a controlled alcohol special use district devotes the purpose this was created for. the average latino makes 37 k for a family of four. this is not an affordable price point unless they go eat there once or twice a year. when it comes to small businesses, 20% of the customers drive 80% of the revenues. it's a block and a half away from the high school, and i would urge you guys to keep that mind because it's going to be open from 11:00 a.m. to midnight. it's just irresponsible. i'd like to read some comments from the petition that we have here from 200 people that have signed on-line. our neighborhood does not need more alcohol. we need more servic

and productive tax code. i believe a more confident america with rising wages is much more likely to address the fiscal challenges we face as a country. this tax reform bill isn't just about bottom lines, it is about investment we're making in american families, american workers, american businesses. we're giving families the freedom to spend more of their own money, how they see fit, putting faith in american entrepreneurs to compete and win in the global market and creating a fairer tax system that levels the playing field and creates jobs and investment here in america. our constituents deserve this. they deserve better than the status quo and they deserve more than hollow promises. they deserve a brighter future. i believe the tax cuts and jobs act will reopen our economy as the best place in the world to do business and create that brighter future for all americans. thank you, mr. president. i yield back. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. hatch: mr. president, i

fixing the tax code helps us fix the economy. this bids up wages, produces careers, pulls people who are on the sidelines, able-bodied people not even being counted by the unemployment statistics, into the work force. that's why it helps. one more. >> [ inaudible question ] >> it's a legitimate question. first of all, each of the members make their own decisions on how to proceed. that's why we asked gregg harper and other members on a bipartisan basis to come up with standards, come up with a system. we need to update and upgrade the congressional accountability act. that is now happening. you will see chairman harper roll out a slew of reforms to upgrade this law so we have standards and the right kind of transparency. you have to keep in mind the victims themselves. what is it that they need to protect their interests in their equities. we've taken time to get it right. we passed mandatory training. those regulations on how to put that training in place is coming due this week. and you'll also see the house administration comm

bucks county code blue in effect until 7:00 tomorrow morning, while camden county code blue will be in effect until 7:00 a.m. friday. >>> let's get to the breaking news for following this morning. officials are searching for two people who fled the scene of hit-and-run vehicle still on the scene, lauren johnson joining us from the crash site. >> thomas, good morning. so police aren't sure which car was coming from which direction, but if you take a look at the last car left here on the scene, you can see the impact of this crash. man it, looks bad. that car was pushed through a white fence. and it was resting in someone's front yard before it was put up on that flatbed truck. police believe the car was pushed thereafter small champagne colored toyota slammed into it just after 12:30 a.m. this morning. three people were inside that car. the 42 year old driver, a 21 year old front seat passengers, and a man in his 30's, was riding in the back seat. the front two passengers were okay, alert, and able to talk to police when they arrived on scene. the man in the back, however, was ejected f

indeed our tax code is dying and rotting. it has hampered job creation, wage growth, investment in the united states, and has chased american companies to foreign shores. i don't know how it could more harmful than it has been. it has also given foreign companies a leg up on u.s. businesses in the global marketplace, leading to a record number of foreign takeovers and inversions. the bill before us will address these problems and help us turn the ship around. our legislation will reduce the corporate tax rate to 21%, something that's long overdue. the lowest level in the modern history of the united states, placing our country slightly below the average of industrialized countries. these changes will once again give american companies a competitive edge and bring more businesses back home instead of losing them the way we've been losing them. hundreds of economists have said that our bill will boost economic growth, and numerous companies have indicated that once our bill becomes law, they will invest heavily in expansion and

to make sure that we maintain incentives in our tax code. for saving for retirement, for education, making sure we have money to build a new home. those are tools families can use to give children a good start. when those same kids grow up, i'm fighting to make sure they can find good, high-paying jobs in america. we need to make sure that our farmers and our ranchers and our small businesses can thrive under this tax code. in the house bill, we have fully and permanently repealed the death tax. i want to thank the chairman for getting rid of that un-american, unfair tax. i understand that no tax plan is going to be perfect in everyone's eyes. we had 12 formal hearings on taxes in the ways and means committee and discussed all the different options and proposals that everybody had. remind everyone here today is that we were not called here to make a few tweaks around the edges. towere called here today make sure that our tax code is fixed forever. we do this once every 30 years. let's not tweak it and just change it -- let's fix it for the l

one, the lack of a consistent definition of demolition in the planning code and the building code. two, a lack of coordination and communication between the department of building inspection and the planning department. a lack of comprehensive transparent and publicly access able processes. the misuse of a zoning administration administrator interpretation to avoid public notice of action and the access of penalties for such penalties that would dissuade developers who consider them simply the cost of doing business. fortunately, it's this fail in the demolition or what we often see is significant alterations tantamount to demolition occurs regularly in all districts, in all neighborhoods. in the summary dated october 22, john rahm detailed the flawed process in 2012 through the settlement in 2017. the history of serial permits that the director called out 21 and the responses of planning and building inspection staff are noted. it is evident from the permit history approvals were based on incomplete, insufficient or inconsistent information and calls into question the adequacy and

it simplifies the code, grows the code, gross economy, and allows strong business investment. i've said before i will not accept the status quo of our broken text go door minimal reform that merely adjust rates. code intoansform the a system that is simpler, fairer, and encourages economic growth and set of suppressing it. that is what this bill does and that is where strongly support its passage. back.d >> the gentleman from massachusetts. >> i would like to yield one minute to the gentleman from michigan. >> the gentleman from michigan is recognized for one minute without objection. 35 years in my congress, this is one of the i have everul bills seen. it is deceitful when republicans say the bill is focused on the middle class. at making theimed very wealthy even wealthier, and and forcing millions of middle-class families to pay higher taxes. it is deceitful when it says it makes the tax code simpler. it creates complicated new loopholes while allowing existing loopholes such as carried interest to continue. it is deceitful when the well will increase the outsourcing of ame

a code of behavior he learned in abilene, the code of the west. and also the influence, the closing of the american frontier on his policy thinking. i'm going to try this again. william, would you like to come up and maybe fiddle with this while i do a song and dance? but i can go right into ike and the western novel. as i mentioned this is something he began reading when he was just a boy, continued through his army years and his presidency. and that was always an attempt, though, to play it down. especially once he became president. a lot of presidents, a narrative is formed very early that kind of marks them -- thank you -- for the rest of their presidency. and for eisenhower that narrative was he's a good guy, he's a good manager, but all he wants to do is play golf with his buddies and plays bridge. and he reads westerns and westerns are terribleally sophisticated. this is in cto his successor. now we can hopefully move on. oh, yeah, ike liked westerns. and so i think reading those westerns, he could relive the history he witnessed as a boy a
