dad's abilities? is funny how many things are probably learned around the dinner table we taken to the foundation side of things. looking at what you might consider investment although it sounds cold when it is human beings but how to make that effective, doing it effectively thinking it through both passionately but also dispassionately because you have to to make good decisions sometimes. the power of his dispassion in the best sense of the word has driven such success for him. he really removes his emotion from the decision-making that is what drives someone. liz: it is almost that unwavering decision power. he has his principles and he sticks by them. >> he has an uncanny ability to disconnect emotion in decision-making process. and i'm talking about when he is thinking about businesses and that type of a thing. and developed certain behaviors, so i think he got much more generous, became much more generous and never did anything out of life anyway, but he got a lot more generous as they got older

her dad castro is her only frame of reference. normal but it didn't feel right. that's the best way i can describe it. but when i heard the news that my dad had strangled and killed his fiancee, then i had the memory back of when he killed and tortured by strangulation the stray cats that came on our property. that's when i knew -- and that's when it sunk in that he's really capable of killing people. >> melissa, i know this is a hard question to ask. you know, humans are -- human feelings are so complicated. do you still love your father? >> i don't know if i would use the word love. there is a parental bond there. so that's why i cut communication with him via phone and via letters. when i would go to the mail box and i would see a letter that was from him, it would bring back to the surface that oh, yes, i do have a dad and that he is serving time in prison. and that oh, yes, he is a serial killer that i -- that my normal life is interrupted then. so as i cut that communication, those feelings diminish and i can live my normal

my dad was a gentle, good man. my dad had an expression. he said, "don't tell me what you value. it show me your budget, and i will tell you what you value." don't tell me how you care about the elderly. don't tell me -- show me your budget. let's take a look at the other team's budget. we will find a with a value. jim will tell you, they passed a budget in the house of representatives. the ryan budget. the republican budget. the budget they passed is absolutely no different than the one they passed last year, the one they passed the year and the year before that. you've got to give them credit for consistency. look, medicaid -- they cut 21 million people out of medicaid. what they do not tell you is that it is not all poor folks have never had a job. these are the widows of middle- class backgrounds who are in nursing homes today only because of medicaid. where will they go? what will they do? who will care for them? tens of thousands of middle- class families in america, struggling with children of autism. they took that extra health care for medicaid. pay their taxes. they con

my dad is one of those, one of nine, and every one of us has an example like this. one of those kids that drew up in a house without electricity, without running water, the first and only one in the family who got past the fifth grade. i heard these stories every single day of my life. my dad did not grow up with a lot of money, but when he was raising his family, he would tell us this -- i will not give you a famous last name or inheritance, but i will make sure you get a great education. in america there is no limit what you can do if you have a great education. i have seen it in my family. this is what we stand for as a party. we spend too much time criticizing the other party the other side without saying what we are for. we allow them to characterize that you want everybody to have that dream that my dad has pursued, that your grandparents pursued, if your grandparents were the first in your family. that brings me to my final point. when need to be the party of growth, not austerity. if you listen to the debate, it is about zeros. it is about austerity and abou
