he's a main character in the book called mr. g, and mr. g met me in the weight room and kind of took me under his wing. i expressed to one of our coaches that i wanted to be a lawyer, and he introduced me to mr. g, who was a corporate lawyer, as well as an entrepreneur, and so that started out as a mentor/mentee relationship and then transformed to that of a father and son, and so through that relationship, he taught me a lot of different things, and when he died in 2000, i wanted to capture that and i wanted to tell the story and share it with other young people and other people who could be mentors to show the power of potential through mentorship. >> and how that just makes the legacy go on and on and on. 'cause you know how many lives you touch. they're gonna go on and want to touch so many other lives after you. >> absolutely. i think we all touch at least 10,000 lives in our lifetime, and so the people who are benefiting from mr. g's legacy don't even know it through me, every day. >> that's amazing. marnie, talk about what it was lik

owdy: i want- mr. g to thank you for your service and to bring to your attention the agents that are a quality -- are a testament to the quality of your agency. i think it takes 28 grams of cocaine base to trigger the mandatory minimum. >> i believe that is true. would be 128f base dosage units. to get five years mandatory minimum imprisoned, you need 112 units of cocaine base or crack cocaine. it takes 500 grams of powder to reach that same five year mandatory minimum which would be about 500 dosage units because it is about a grammy dosage unit when dealing with powder. no heroin, it takes 100 grams of heroin to reach that same threshold but that is 3000 dosage units. prison foryou go to five years for 28 or 112 units of crack cocaine but 3000 dosage units of heroin is what it takes to trigger that five year mandatory minimum? that just seems absurd to me. clearly, on the law enforcement side, we are cops. we are doing the best that we can with the laws that are out there. >> you are which is why it is

g it if mr. graham: you have a weak president that is more worried about campaign promises than dealing with the threats to our country. he was told by all of his iraqnders, don't leave without a 10,000 residual force behind. john mccain and i begged him not to. everything we said has happened. it is hard, democracy is hard. look how hard it is for us. you expect these people to get everything right in 10 or 15 years? it won't happen. hisas told by all of advisors, you need to help the free syrian army while assad is on the rope, a no-fly zone. he said no thank you. he said isil is the j.v. teal. he drew a red line, and everybody thinks we are all talk. you need more troops in iraq. i have been to iraq and afghanistan 35 times. commanderto make me chief. you need somebody who knows what they are doing. i have been a reservist. it will not be easy. we're going to have to go from 3500 to 10,000 to get iraq in a good spot. if you don't deal with syria, we'll be hit here. it's the perfect platform to

mr. trump. [booing]>> to be clear you are g at a place where the rnc will give the nominee the nod. >> i fully understand. >> it was interesting for a couple reasons. number one, donald trump spent the last several days say he he was not going run third party. i talked about it with sean hannity and he said donald trump told me he would not run a third party, and you start the debate and donald trump says maybe i will run third party if i don't like the way i'm treated. it was the perfect way to open the debate because it was a tough question. bill: he said on fox and friends he doesn't want to lose his leverage. in the same sentence he said i'm not going do it. what are we to believe? >> he says things that are in direct conflict with one another. he did that last night on immigration and he did that again on iran. a direct question about the iranian general having gone to moscow. the question was simple, what would you do now. it was a minute and a half of word salad, words unrelated to one another. he didn't seem to have an idea of what he was talking about. martha: we showed the moment with jeb bush

mr. harper's plan we are headed for trouble. >> we have 1.3 million jobs created since the financial crisis. the best record in the g-7. that is why incomes are rising across the board and have been rising. that is why we have manufacturing and other sectors outside of energy that are expanding because we have a balanced budget and are able to invest in infrastructure. now is not the time. >> the reality is canadians across the country know times are tough. the fact is you have become disconnected from the reality people are casing across the country. your plan isn't working. the risk is sticking with our plan. mr. nulcair is good in criticism of you and questions but not good at answering your questions. he put plans forward for a $15 minimum wage. he is misleading canadians and giving the workers in the box stores and behind check out counters and in shops and coffee shops false hope. his minimum wage plan will only help less than 1% of every canadian who earns middle wage and that false advertising is not responsible. >> under our plan for the $15 an hour federal minimum wage, over 100,000 candidates get a raise. un
