i think david elliot lewis said something very poignant, volunteering is a pathway towards healing. i think the fact that we have so many folks here that are living testaments to struggle and overcoming, i think what david was talking about, going from the darkness to the light. that involves a lot of things, but you know, having that firsthand experience with that can help other people, because a face is put to that struggle and the difference successes and living productive lives. is there there is a face to it and a story and we have black diva media, that the fact that you have access to media and you are using it in a positive way and that speaks volumes. before i stop, i wanted to touch on how housing is affected by this. i don't have all the answers and i do housing issues with sta and i understand that the mayor's office of housing, there has been a proposal from advocates to put in some anti-eviction legislation that would cut -- that would try to curtail before things lead up to evictions and perhaps some mental health component could be inserted into that conversation to

governor elliot spitzer.e said if he is elected new york city comptroller, it is not his job to investigate problems on wall street. do we have an admission from the mayor that there are problems on wall street? the mayor needs to learn that you cannot trust wall street. there are no guarantees. under bloomberg, we have seen the financial collapse of 2008. he stood silent. if the mayor would step forward and say investment banks need to be stood up, i think it would have a pretty big impact. but he has not done that. he has let wall street run amok. and thanks to immoral, financial practices, greedy people and down manhattan have ruined countless american lives. bloomberg is workers like firefighters who save lives. not destroy them. now if anything, that i believe bloomberg should be taxing the massive profits made on wall street to provide these health care costs and requirement costs, that the city is obligated the pay to these workers who have put in no less than 30 years. we only praise them when there i

. >> joining me now, congressman elliot engel, democrat from new york, ranking member of the house foreign affairs committee and has been an advocate of the u.s. intervention in syria. congressman, as best as you can articulate, as someone who i understand supports increased u.s. intervention and military strike here, can you explain to me and our viewers what the concrete mission here, what the concrete goal is of any kind of military action? >> well, i assume the concrete goal, of course, it hasn't been decided to do this. if seems imminent. but i think the goal would be to say to assad and other assads of the world that crimes of this violent nature cannot go unpunished. if we stand by and watch the murder of innocent men, women and children, children gasping for breath and foaming at the mouth and don't take action, i think it encourages other bad players to do the same thing. so i think at the very least, it's saying that you've gone too far, and we're going to make it hard for you to use your air force or weapons to continue to do this. >> if it's to send a message to assad and other

that according to congressman elliot angle who participated in the call.sisted no decisions have been made on military action against syria, cnn is also told they privately made clear to lawmakers that chemical weapons in syria is such a threat the u.s. could engage with or without support from critical allies like great britain. one key gop senator bob korxer emerged from briefings thursday surgical proportional military strikes given the strong evidence of the regime's use of chemical warfare. senate foreign relations share bob menendez reaffirmed his support, too. a consequenceal u.s. response is justified and warranted. others argued the president still has to come before congress and the american people before he acts. >> it's up to the president to sell this to the american people. >> this attempt to consult with lawmakers left many highly unsatisfied. some republicans say they still have no idea what the united states' plans are. at least options militarily and they're demanding more answers. chris, the thing to keep in mind is that the select membe

"new york times" has an excellent article about the break down of the negotiations between the west and the egyptian government. here's a part that struck me, though about this article that apparently israel is undermining the negotiation, telling egyptians go ahead with the crackdown, because the u.s. will not cut its aid. what is your reaction to that? >> well, i don't know if that's true or not but i will say that i think there are people who are calling for a cutoff in aid and i think it certainly is premature. we've got to look at the total picture. the total picture is egypt is a very, very important country. the united states and egypt have had very close military to military ties. egypt is the lynch pin of what we do in middle east. we count on egypt allowing us to fly over their airspace on our way to afghanistan. we count on egypt to give us priority at the suez canal. and i think that people who are just saying well cut off aid are not looking at the consequences. obviously
