so i went on merriam-webster to find out what is "undeserved" area. this is a well-served area. the ordinance was stated and revised to bring undeserved or underserved areas of the city with options. mr. ramadan stated that he was able to sign the letter on behalf of this coffee truck to use the restroom. i am wondering if the lease that he has with the owner of the building allows him to do so. i doubt it, but i don't know. bonnie, which represents one of the building owners in that area had stated that this whole 2nd street is going to be under construction and there is go to be no room. there is going to be four parking spaces. of all the people that support mr. goldstein, i wonder if they own restaurants. they are accountants, they are bankruptcy attorneys. i would like to know if they owned a restaurant if they would allow mr. goldstein to park the truck in front of the restaurant? i'm sure he is a very nice man. it's not credentials. it's about underserved areas. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> pat patricia voy. no one, many of those who spoke in support do not live in s

they could get in each other's way potentially or even have conflicting strategies so i don't expect merriam webster to come up with a good definition to homeland security any time soon the government that invented it still has to come up with one itself and that's going to do it for.

been using hopefully before that in the very sensed they were against and there's other people in merriam-webster who attend massive studies of the distinction between implied and inferred and there is none. the modern language association site. yes, ma'am. >> in the book come you talk only about association -- [inaudible] >> i do. i have asserted subcategory that teflon president ronald reagan. i have the words that come after them, hoover bill and have her eyes. president herbert hoover was in charge of the feeding of europe and the foodstuffs for the world. the hoover eyes need to be careful, not wasted, not throw food away. that's a positive turn back. , but yeah i do that because that's part of their legacy. >> are the reasons it nicely harder for president obama to notably nila chase analyst for the founding father? can he talk about how you research the book? >> it's probably a little bit harder, but if you just look at the language created by the internet and in the last 20 years, it probably isn't. it may happen by chance. when lincoln creates a really interesting words, one of the words

. >> reporter: merriam pazz and her 4-year-old son eric had flown from germany back home to the statesia. mom and son living in germany while dad is deployed in afghanistan. they thought they had won contest to come home, and the prize, a trip to the rose parade. >> what did you have to do to win? >> my husband entered his name, i guess. i just got a call letting me know that we won. >> he's a soldier stationed in afghanistan? >> yes, he's in afghanistan right now. >> reporter: or so she thought. her husband, sergeant first class eric pazz, was right there at the parade, on the float, proudly wearing his uniform. making his way toward them. as mom and her 4-year-old son were posing for a picture, they then turn around and that 4-year-old looks up, making his way right over to the arms of his father. >> it was a really great experience. the first thing i thought is i hope she's not going to slap me for lying to her. and seeing our son's face and how he reacted, you know, i was really caught up in the moment. >> reporter: a family together again. just in time for the new year. they hadn'

. >> merriam webster dictionary defines fascism as "a regime headed by a dictatorial leader that forciblyses opposition." mackey, a self-professed libertarian, gets his definition from the ayn rand school of thought. listen, i believe mackey regrets using the word. but the most insulting thing about mackey's continued assault against obama care isn't the language. mackey isn't biting the hand that feeds him. despite this country being run by a socialist or fascist or whatever word he'll come up with next, whole foods is doing pretty doggone good. under president obama whole foods' profits have risen 306%. profits he seems unwilling to invest in the health of the employees that are with him making all that money. let's turn to jonathan alter, msnbc political analyst and columnist for bloomberg view. why do these ceos do this? why do would he do this again and go down this road? >> well, they can't help themselves. he has a political philosophy as indicated, of libertarianism, where they think it's just because of their genius and their hard work and their talent and that they don't get any

merriam webster defines an epidemic as something affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large numb of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time. it is clear the culture of violence is an american epidemic. it is time for us to face the music. we are complicit in the violence that takes place in our nation if we fail to strengthen our gun laws, if we fail to invest more resources into our mental health services and address the issues of bullying. we must take a meaningful and immediate action to eradicate the culture of violence in our country. mr. speaker, this evening i am joined by a number of members of the congressional black caucus and i yield to my friend from chicago, mr. danny davis. mr. davis: thank you very much. i thank the chairman of the congressional black caucus for not only anchoring this hour but also for providing opportunity for the rest of us. i have decided to develop a statement, but then i had 16 young students visit me this afternoon. from oak park, illinois. they presented to me their statement. their statement was so
