>> my name is eric lowe. i'm with the federal observer. my question is for yves. the point is that because i used to work in finance i understand you to appoint about like wall street and everything. and i share the pessimism because one of the things i got from people who work -- who used to work there saying that, you know, that talk about the regulations that are not in place, it's not going to be in place, because you don't have recorders of know inside how wall street works. so it continues, basically. always to come back again. so i totally agree with the one beside you talking about like the thing -- >> get to your question. >> yes, it's not on the table. so how can we get the agenda on the table, would be a very good point. >> i'm afraid -- i wish there was a simpler answer. one is -- and i don't give it very high percentage odds of success, but there are peculiarly, some of the groups around occupy wall street. for example, the occupy the s.e.c. group submitted a 325-page volcker rouletter. you're actually seen people -- and that was done by a very small

gentleman -- >> um, my name is eric lowe, i'm from the fair observer. what i'm interested in knowing, basically, in this kind of, like, situation in washington where we talk about budget cuts and everything, so this kind of thing about, like, nuclear thing and all this is not going to get a front seat in the situation when everybody, you know, thinks that the cuts, you know, all these things just -- not talk about weapons, we're talking about, like, doing more in what you have been doing right now. do you see that there'd be more, um, difficulty in convincing you talk about, like, difficulties with the republican party or the interests in doing this, there'd be some sort of, like, solution you can think about at this point? >> your question's directed to? >> mr. cirincione and mr. gallucci. >> let we start. something very interesting is happening in the united states currently. you have a president of the united states that has a very forward-looking, 21st century vision of u.s. national security. he's united his administration including the military le

and the threshold there, isn't it very low, eric? >> it is very low.rent and unique about this is is in order to show this. the defense has the burden of proving. we have to show by a a per pond danca per upon der rapbs of the evidence. we go in front of the judge, the defense attorney to take the case in front of the judge and try to show that mr. zimmerman believed that he was being attacked, not whether he was actually being attacked, the law is whether he believed he was being attacked and whether there was a threat that was imminent and whether his actions were reasonable. if the judge believes that the judge can throw out the case. if the judge does not believe that the defense can then go to the second bite at apple, take it to the jury and argue that he should be immune, or that he was defending himself. gregg: tamara let's assume you get in front of the jury, standard self-defense, a reasonable fear of imminent, serious bodily injury or death. if there are witnesses that will say that zimmerman's head was being even int beaten into the ground

a lot of interest out there but we've seen a tepid response to extremely low home prices and lower interest rates. >> tom: eric, doesn't that speak to that continual american dream and a big part of that is homeownership? we haven't gotten away from that despite the wealth destruction we've mean? this great recession, haven't we? >> i think that's exactly right. there's both financial and non-financial reasons why people look at homeownership. i think even though the surveys don't get that into these kinds of questions people understand that we're potentially closer to the bottom of the cycle and as prices start to come up homeownership may look attractive relative to renting again. we're starting to see rent inflation in markets, we're seeing rents increase. even economically there's reasons to expect people to want to come back to the market but no question the reason that people want to be homeowners that show up very high on their list are things like the places that i associate where homeownership is more common, the control i have under my own living environment, i can't be subject to a lease that doesn'

. >> eric: you talk about the low nuclear capability and they've enriched 20% and what does that meanthere's a report it potentially means they could have a possibility of manufacturing four nuclear weapons within a few months? >> you know, the weapons-grade level of enriched uranium is typically 90% plus of the u-235 isotopes and 20% doesn't sound close and reactor grade, 3 to 5% doesn't sound that close in fact reactor grade is 2/3 of the way there towards nuclear weapons capable enrichment and the 20% is about 75 or 80% of the way there and iran continues to build up its inventory of low enriched uranium and that is something else, that is important here. this is not simply a race to get one nuclear weapon. iran is broadening and deepening its nuclear program, all of which just makes it a growing threat every day that goes by. >> eric: how come the world can't stop them? >> because there has been mad yat american leadership for 20-plus years on the subject. neither the iaea nor the security council for the european union, or anybody else is really capable of stopping iran or any ot
