because the layperson, members of the public watching this, the vast majority you would assume would what are you saying still needs to be done because i just felt like a you saying still needs to be done because ijust felt like a layperson watching this would say, what does one do about it? we've seen the russian reaction. what does the government do? you have put the finger on the perpetual challenge of diplomacy. if you try to get a group together to agree unanimously and maybe one country with particular interests has concerns about coming on board. that is kind of thing we are forever having to the associate. it is what happens in the united nations and the european union. there are sanctions there already and i think they are biting. the russian economy isa they are biting. the russian economy is a third the size of ours and they are not properly looking after their citizens. they have got domestic pressure about an attempt to raise the pension age because they are running out of money and things are already going on in this hidden totalitarian state of modern russia. the first

is a point that we wanted to make by us being here today is first of all, to think all of you as laypersons to be interested and hopefully activist on these issues and to make certain your respective bishops or archbishops or cardinals show the provincials of the religious community because they are members not necessarily a associated with the diocese. so what we would hope is that we continue to make your voices heard about things that are going on either you don't understand or what need to be corrected within the church whatever the issue may be and this is more broader but abuse is the most important thing right now. >> we were talking earlier about some of the things that possibly need to be changed in the church even though the bishops didn't necessarily pay ectention to our recommendations about accountability on their behalf but more broadly what needs to be changed with a hierarchy? . >> this is where i get close to being excommunicated actually. [laughter] let me make one point. our investigation at the time i got the permission to do it right. and at the end of the day we rode o

point i think we all wanted to make by a speedier today it is first of all to thank all of you as laypersonsfor being interested in hopefully activists on these issues. in making certain that your respective bishops or archbishops or cardinals, whatever they might be, as well as provincials of the religious committees because the third of the priests are religious communities and not necessarily associated with diocese. what we would hope is that you would continue to make your voices heard about things that are going that as you don't understand or you think need to be corrected within the church. whatever the issue may be and this is a much broader this is the most important thing right now. >> bob, we've been talking and things that need to be changed in the church and even though the bishops didn't necessarily pay attention to our recommendations about our ability on their behalf what you think needs to what needs to be changed in the church? >> this is where i get close to being asked mitigated. [laughter] let me make one point. our investigation was very serious and at the time i was a

i will refer to -- >> in layperson's -- >> sure. so the license agreement, temporary license that they gave to the ballet was for the remaining term of their current lease, which expired june 30, 2018, and if they renew their lease for an additional five-year period, it would cover that. but again, that was assuming it meets city code, which unfortunately, it does not. >> all right. thank you. >> okay. we will now hear from the permit holder -- >> it does have an automatic termination provision, as well. >> thank you. you have seven minutes. >> my name is gabriel block, and i'm the owner of crossroads trading element, which is a distinction entity from c.t.c., l.l.c., which owns the property. all the owners of c.t.c., l.l.c. are not owners of crossroads. this was filed solely by the ground floor tenant, crossroads trading company to provide our company with emergency egress. this is required and is a life and safety issue. it's noncontroversial work, was properly approved, professionally prepared and vetted by

i mean, i'm a layperson, but it is a little bit like having a gps system, right?> so you bring the navigator's tools of antiquity to modern times, and you've got gps. >> right. >> the gps was conceived and built and launched by the u.s. air force. the u.s. space command. a branch within the u.s. air force. yes, now the military knows not only where to go and where they're coming from, but now that we have targeted missiles, you now have weapons targeting that exploits the precision of gps -- of gps satellites that enable it. the gps satellite tells you where you are longitude and latitude and also where you are in altitude and exactly what time it is. all of this combined empowers the military. now, we use it for commerce. we also use it for commerce. to many people's surprise, i think, in the early days. now, we have entire industries that exist only because of gps. like uber or tinder. yeah. >> i didn't think we were going to be talking about tinder with the professor of astrophysics. none the less, here we are. so does it bother you? does it bother you to be an

. >> it is very hard to be a layperson, but i understand that for alzheimer's for example. >> for vascular dementia, what we know is you will see on an mri. >> i am less worried about that because i am worried about something like alzheimer's. dementia is dementia. >> i'm just using the criteria the medical community gives to us. we have to be able to assert and prove substantial cognitive decline which we could hear. his i.q. has dropped dramatically. some ideology, something that can help us understand the maturation of this disease and not the early stage, but they stage. you're of course he has of course he has to life-threatening strokes where he almost died and never brain injuries. he now has cerebral vascular disease that we can see. under those circumstances and i can see there are going to be harder cases, could be harder cases, but under these circumstances the evidence is quite dramatic. no dispute that mr. madison suffers from severe vascular dementia, using criteria the medical community has given to us about these kinds of diseases, and which is why it is so significant. wha

. >> even a layperson may be able to discover that that drug is helping.the only thing you need to convince me of that it's not random, you have to have another videos to show me this little girl is in better or worse some days without drugs. if you have the dramatic improvement, it shouldn't take 10 minutes to see there's a great deal of benefits . >> you don't need 50 patients. >> this was also the drug treated for decades in france so it's not something poison or something people are dying from, there's no safety problem . >> you mentioned a very important point, we always have very limited discussions with the fda in terms of cancer origin idea. imagine most of these diseases affect children. territory janay 80 is unfortunately not an issue because they won't have children, so why do we have to do animal studies in animal models if we treat children at the age of 13. if you have a life-threatening disease we can -- with reduced life expectancy . >> it looks like you need to look at this and you give a temporary approval quicker but, what you need is so

. >> i think even a layperson might be able to discover that that drug seems to be helping. the only thing you'd have to convince me is that it's not random. you'd have to have enough videos to show me that this little girl isn't better some days and worse some days without drugs and if there is no random improvement like that and you have that dramatic improvement, it shouldn't take us ten minutes to figure out there's a great deal of benefit there. >> right, and then you don't need 50 patients. if i present you two in spanish, it doesn't help to additionally speak chinese. >> this is also a drug that's been treated for decades in france so it's not something that's poison, there's no safety problem. >> you mentioned a very, very important point, and we always have very vivid discussions with the fda in terms of heterogeneity and cancerogeneity. imagine most of these diseases affect children so it's often not an issue because they won't have children. why do we have to do animal studies in two animal models if we have children at the age of 13? the same is for cancerogeneit

scott and 1857, a great kasich about and read, the supreme court said dred scott was born and its layperson was taken into free territory by his master could not be citizen because as chief justice infamously an african said african writers have no rights which is what person is born to respect and cleaned historical and likely but even free african-americans at the time of the framing couldn't be citizens because we the people of the united states just refers to white people. that was very historically unconvincing as well as infamous. president lincoln rejected the recent or we fought a civil war which rejected the reasoning of the 14th amendment was designed to repudiate dred scott and six if you are born in the united states come your absolute a citizen of the united states and of the state wherein you reside, . so that's the basic a stroke like it, a very powerful idea that distinguishes us from as well as other countries you mention from the vast majority of european countries. >> jeffrey rosen and a last-minute, over the past 150 years since the 14th amendment was ratified, how often
