mr. smith: thank you, mr. chairman. since the creation of the miechv program, states have been required to demonstrate their home visiting programs result in measurable improvements in six benchmark areas specified in the law. oneaire states can choose to focus on, is quote, improvements in family economic self-sufficiency, end quote. as a result of changes made last year under the prior presidential administration, quote, economic self-sufficiency, end quote, no longer means what you think it means, increasing work and earnings, but instead it was defined as whether or not you have health insurance or are in school. clearly this is not what congress meant when the program was created and included the concept of economic self-sufficiency. so this bill would make sure that states, if they choose to focus on family economic self-sufficiency, as one of the four benchmarks of the six that they would measure employment and earnings as part of that metric. again, states can choose among six different benchmarks when they deci

mr. smith's departure and any obligations or benefits owed mr. oyment agreement or any planned program policy or practice of the company will be deferred until the board of directors completes the review so it's not clear that he's going to be getting what he may otherwise have been owed pending their continuing review of the data breech itself they also say he will not get his bonus for 2017. >> as jim cramer had hoped and expected and would be outrageous in terms of fueling further outrage. this decision for the ceo to retire at least seems like an attempt to try to put a lid on it. >> yeah. >> show some accountability. >> let's bring in jeff sonnenfeld yale school of management, senior associate dean of leadership studies to sara's point, jeffrey, is this going to put a lid on it? >> no, it won't put a lid on it. it's a decent but tardy second step the first stepis debatable, whether or not you actually wanted to fire the cio, the chief information security officer, people who actually know what decisions were made and what went wrong. right no

you know mr. smith rammed the vehicle in the police. the judge didn't support that the weapon was planted. why should the police officer be convicted. >> the cop said while he was driving we are going to killed the [bleep] and he shot him five time and there is no need for that and he goes back to the car and sits down in the seat. >> reporter: the judge didn't support that the weapon was planted. >> i don't have going to say. >> reporter: fox news channel. they are shouting me down. >> and a woman putting her hand in front of your camera. and what evidence are they finding here and the high speed chase. and ramming the cop and we see another video of the cop that was dash cam and he's putting it in the back of his car. are you okay, mike? >> reporter: you want to make a point. what is your problem with the evidence? >> hold on,>> reporter: so what is your problem with the evidence? >> my problem is it is [bleep]. >> reporter: go ahead. >> it is blatant disrespect when we see evidence of murder, okay. >> reporter: what evidence? >> excu

mr. smith: madam speaker, today president trump delivered on his promise to the american people. he said he would discontinue the daca immigration program which allows hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to stay in the country and receive work permits. by ending the unconstitutional daca program ask overturned the last of the obama administration's amnesty agenda and returned to the rule of law. president obama, a former constitutional law professor, said many times that daca was unconstitutional. congress and the administration should strengthen our laws against illegal immigration and ensure that our immigration policies put unemployed americans first. the u.s. labor participation rate is at a 40-year low. president trump is right to discontinue the daca program and let congress address immigration policies, including securing the border. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from kansas seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> madam speaker, i rise today to discuss education. the building block to a succ

in a statement, mrs smith said he believed it was in the best interest of the company to have new leadershipnow smith is the third executive to leave equifax since the cyber breach became public. is still expected to testify before congress next week about the hacker that has left millions of americans vulnerable to identity theft. now equifax is one of the three major firms that tracks credit history of almost all americans. between mid—may and july, the birthdays and social security numbers of over 143 million americans may have been stolen by hackers. about 400,000 britons and a number of canadians were also affected. now, equifax‘s bodged response has sent shares plummeting. moving now to the sports apparel business and nike has reported better than expected earnings after a strong better than expected earnings after a strong overseas better than expected earnings after a strong overseas growth. it made up for weak a strong overseas growth. it made up for wea k sales a strong overseas growth. it made up for weak sales in the united states. but the news is not all good for the world's lar

in a statement mr. smith said he believes it's in the best interest of the company to have new leadership to move the company forward. mr. smith, 57 years old, still i expected to attend the congressional hearing next week. jim, utah, line for republicans. go ahead. aller: yeah. all these people pushing for single payer. ee how that's working out. host: do you use the v.a.? what's your experience? caller: oh, about three months to get an appointment. i have to wait three months. and then i got to wait another three months. yeah. this is going to work out really good, you guys. you want to bring down the cost of health insurance, who's the people that are in congress? 9% of -- host: mary. independent. go ahead. caller: yeah. you talk about medicare for all. i'm on medicare. if i wouldn't pay 20% of my last brain surgery i would have paid $20,000. i have an advantage plan with y medicare and also 20% of $200,000 would have been $20,000. so another thing. old. le jesse is 99 years if we had medicare for all or u

mr. smith will testify before the house energy and commerce committee live tuesday starting at 10:00 a.m. eastern on c-span 3. next house and senate republicans unveil their plans for overhauling the federal tax code. this will be the first major change to the tax code since change was instituted by president reagan in 1986. this is 20 minutes. [ chatter] speaker ryan: good afternoon. this is an historic day, a day that is a long time in coming. in fact, it was on this day, under this dome, in 1986, that congress to the final vote on the last overhaul of our tax code. that long. after that vote, president reagan said americans would "finally have a tax code they ould be proud of." it was true then, but things look very different today, don't they? instead of a source of pride, ur tax code has become a constant source of frustration. it is too big. it is to confiscated. it is too expensive. today, we are taking the next step to liberate americans from our broken tax code. this unified framework

very little mr smith will be in charge. of the social. policy probably in my opinion. the interest in the interest and situation is. both mikel and shields have said they will wait with the f.t. who are quite likely to be the third party. and the fights are essentially between. one who would be fifth where the greens will actually draw the parliament so no it's entirely possible. the left policy. gaining now. my pollies supposed slight delay that you carry on. the left party are gaining now from. a s.p.d. . and they are likely to take more and more votes from them as time goes on because actually you know whatever happens to governments is still in charge in germany it's the same old same old mrs merkel will get away with saying one thing and do nor there. seemingly eternally. and mr shields has shown. no chance of being chancellor. and give us your analysis of the situation misspeaking see any paper that you can depend upon a page that. now for quite some time russia shares some of the spotlight with germany's allegations of election meddling dominated the media cover

the family of the deceased, mr. smith, does not feel the same way, obviously. they feel that the system has failed them. they don't have that sense of relief. mr. stockley, you know, is not an example of a good police officer. this is not an example of what we need to have in our police department here in st. louis. he was relieved of duty. he was allowed to retire. his actions in a civil suit cost the city almost a million dollars. very underreported as a fact he brought his own ak-47 to the scene of this incident. this is not a model police officer, and so we need to be making changes in the st. louis police department to change the culture that defends and protects the actions of an officer like stockley. >> antonio french, always good to see you. thanks for your point of view. >> thank you. >>> all right, so this morning, an arrest overseas in the london terror attack. straight ahead, live report on the investigation and the political fallout surrounding president trump's response. (woman) when you have type 2 diabetes, there's a moment of truth. and now wit

he's the closest thing i have seen in a long time to mr. smith goes to washington. he's not -- he's not going to run again. scott walker. if it were not for scott walker, we would not be here today. scott walker said i have been talking about federalism all my political fief -- life. this is the first time i have seen somebody in washington try to empower me here since welfare reform. scott walker has been a moving force on the governor's side. the governor of utah, mike, you should be proud of him, really great guy. mike, thank you for working with us to make this as flexible as possible. senator lee has helped to get this at the state level. thank you. asa hutchison in arkansas stepped up. our good friend, governor bryant in mississippi, he is all in. i could go on and on and on. i know john mccain likes the concept of the block grant. john mccain wants to reform health care. he knows what happens to arizona under obamacare and this is our last best chance to stop what is a march to single-payer health care. i hope our friends will get on board because obamacare i

first of all i don't think it was ever established that mr. smith was a heroin dealer. there was, as i understand, heroin found in the vehicle but that doesn't make you a dealer. the second part of that is that the possession of this weapon wasn't on him, it was allegedly in a car stuffed in between the seats that jason stockley just so happened to recover that only has his dna. based on the judge's statement you would think it would be on anthony lamar smith himself and it wasn't. a lot of people were offended by it. they took it as an insult and an indictment against anyone in possession of drugs. what it also does which is more dangerous to me, gives officers a perception anyone with heroin will potentially have a weapon on them and need to guard themselves in a way that may not be necessary and may cause more situations like this based on his 30 years of experience. >> i know you want those protesters out there to remain peaceful but you also say you understand that the community is being asked to believe someone's words instead of trusting their own eyes. what do y

upon completion of such performance milestones, so clearly like so many other chief executives, mr. smithn a position to have both made a lot of money and in large part through stock compensation and collect a lot going out. and, of course, as always is the case, he would have access to retiree medical benefits for life always nice. >> the board have to be aware of following the wells fargo scandal and the at the time i believe also called the retirement of one of the executives there, a lot of scrutiny over the package, what they were able to walk away with without any ongoing jeopardy after they leave the job you have to imagine equifax is in a position where they are making sure they don't necessarily trip up in how they deal with this dismissal >> whether it's cause for, i guess -- >> that's what i'm speculating >> yeah. lawyers are involved there's no doubt about it. but as this story grows, we will also have people looking at exactly what his compensation is and what he deserves >> he was the ceo since 2005, and the journal's reporting before the breach he actually told people famil

mr. smith's car. however the judge declared that there was not enough evidence to support the claim. so the officer was cleared. >>> you to -- u2 and and sharon were expect -- and ed sheeran were expected to perform at this concert for this fundraiser but police had to cancel because they cannot support the security that was needed. >> police will be patrolling big tourist sites because of the terror attacks that just happened recently in london. police said they have interviewed dozen of witnesses and have looked at dozens of video footage in their investigation. >>> authorities are looking for help with finding the killer of a trans-jury to -- transgender d jack -- disc jockey. while the report did not say that the murder was motivated by hate, but we are shocked because one of san francisco's most active activists has been killed. >>> still ahead tonight, reaching out to daca recipients. the deadline that everybody needs to know about to prevent deportation. >>> later in sports we will have saturday night headlights for us. >>> caltrans crews demolish the largest bridge in the bay

caller: good morning, mrs. smith. i had a friend who indirectly obeserom being morbidly because she had an eating compulsion. , what isike to know the science saying or the latest thinking on an unhealthy relationship with food, which i think is also an addiction? as compared to being addicted to substances? i would just like to know how the two things relate or if the science is looking at that? host: thank you for calling. fran smith. guest: it is a great question. there is a lot of interest in that and there are a lot of scientists that would agree with you. that it is still in addiction. it is still controversial. the medical or psychiatric establishment does not recognize it as an addiction as they recognize gambling as an addiction. there is a lot of research. in an article, i read about a researcher in new york who has done fascinating animal studies. sugar and highr fatty foods with the same compulsion that they will go for cocaine. of good evidence that substances in our foods are eatingve and a lot of proble

mrs. smith and mr. jones have lived in their homes 50 for 50 years. in preparation for a possible evacuation, we develop a grid designating areas of responsibility for the fire department, the police department and members of the national guard. we were making announcements from our vehicles, knocking on doors and posting evacuation orders. we knocked on every door. we left notes on doors of the home where no one answered and made an additional check to ensure evacuation. most people heeded the request on the first try but if anyone resisted, they took their names, wrote down the address and we spent additional time working to get them out of their home.but after every major event, we look back and say how can we improve. if we ever need to evacuate again, we now have a contactha in place for the local bus company that agreed to drive roots and take them for safety. i hope the congress will conduct its own action review after they did after hurricane katrina in august 2005. it's it was put into

tuesday will go before the house energy and commerce committee while on wednesday mr. smith testifies before the senate banking committee. live coverage starts both days 10 a.m. eastern on c-span3, online c-span.org, or on the free c-span radio app. finally here's a look at what's that in congress next week. >> jennifer shutt as appropriations a bunch reporter for cq roll call. steve scalise returns to the u.s. house and boy does he have his work cut out county votes next week as the house takes up the republican budget. they pass this on a budget committee in the

and mrs. smiths and the mr. and mrs. jones that had lived in their homes for years.responsibility to the fire department, police department, and members of the national guard. we drove through south wilkes-barre making announcements from our vehicles, knocking on doors and posting evacuation orders. we knocked on every door. we left notes on doors that were not answered. most people heated the request -- heeded the request to evacuate. some did not and we took their names. we successfully executed were of the seamless cooperation and communication among officials from the national, state, and local letter. -- and local levels. even so, we look back and discuss how we could improve. should we ever need to evacuate again, we now have a contact in place with the local bus company that agreed to drive routes through the city that agreed to pick up people and take them to safety. following harvey and irma, i hope congress will conduct its own after action review as it august,r katrina in 2005. while presidential directive five started the advancement of the national manag

and on top of that he also had planted a gun in mr smith's car so it's incredible that so you know again it's again. it defies belief that a police officer can shoot an unarmed innocent man and get away with your thoughts on the reaction to that you know isn't such violence counterproductive given the extent to which they actually hurt the local community i'm talking about black owned businesses etc getting the worst of the violence does not help the situation in any way it doesn't violence is never justified on the circumstances even though people may say there was a mitigating factors in this case here but personally i don't think violence is acceptable particularly when as you say it you're harming your very own community. that's been undermined fruita can i wish we could speak more we're just going right to break unfortunate thank you so much for joining us this hour youth activists police advisor can. get out of all the news we have now i'll see you in thirty five minutes time here on r.t. international. it's. with little make this manufacture consent instead of public wells. when t

. -- mr. smith. >> i am not sure what numbers he is talking about, you cannot have everybody getting more money under a block grant then at the end of the day redistributing the dollars very orically from high-cost extending it to states who are not doing it. there are no winners under this bill. you have every state putting the bulk of their medicaid program, the vast majority of their medicaid program, the elderly, disabled, children, pregnant women under a cap. so that when cancer treatments come out and they are more expensive, the states will not be able to afford them at least without cutting something else. so that if there is another hurricane, they cannot afford to address that emergency unless they cut something else. that is not how the financing of the medicaid program works now to read it is important to understand the basic structural changes to financing for the vast majority of medicaid beneficiaries. >> thank you mr. chairman. again obviously, we believe that arkansas would be bette

what the audience didn't know is what mr. smith did not mention. earlier, equifax had discovered a systems breach. they had called in investigations." what does that tell us about what officials may have known about this and does that make a difference moving forward? guest: number one is they did know about it. you have to file the money. when you -- you have to follow the money. you are dealing with large banks or equifax. the money. follow many insiders were selling stock in making money on the market knowing there would be a problem coming later. what he reveals there, this is a concealment. this would be a fraud upon the consumers. when the ceo knows about the problem, talks about the opportunity that exists for them and doesn't reveal a material , theywhich in this case had already suffered a breach. does change. it makes the conduct of equifax in this case much more deplorable and horrible and can add additional damages to the individuals who have suffered from this breach. host: is there anyway way to hold executives responsible for this? g

little more go to the need to go diligent about something else lol but you said then i already knew mr smith they are mr no more you so what is unusual bullshit about something. to me and i'm sure bill got you you go well if you don't visible steeples mall but imo but that's not the end. just look those of the voters if you go in there on the opponent. the mcmichael twenty an awful. long honorable. walk. think on the thing about it still going. to be asked and if you. think it was. nice enough for. knowing. what they most know would call us and i will lead you to each of you in this with me. and he demand to pollution from as you put it you the. union one but if you didn't him and you couldn't was new to you and. thank. you. board of but shilpa always knew that religion was theater this embody the last time you had to barbers as you try using in this thing they put my down your door to my head when you used to talk or spheres them then i took the border between my i look at haley bilis head of kyoto. and doing my you're surely. lost the last of course feel great help and most of the time it'

phone as i often have to do and the insurance company says "history smith went through his troop -- mr. smith went through his treatment, he is done now." mean?""what do you they say, "he went through and is clean and sober. he doesn't have the addiction disease anymore." i say no, now we going to start treating the addiction disease. [applause] dr. gitlow: when i talk about rehabthrough programs, we are treating withdraw. i can give anyone in toxic is an and withdraw to the point they need a hospital. that is not what is being treated. it is only after the withdraws out of the way and do start thinking clearly again that we can get to the core. the core is that you are uncomfortable to begin with. that discomfort is what needs to be treated to get you to the point where you say i am all right in my own skin. that comes to part 2. because addictive disease is a 3-part entity. we have the genetic part, the part you are born with. the part you cannot get away from. the part that makes it so life is uncomfortable without drugs. is an environmental issue. there are some folks out there born with

and mrs. smith and mr. mrs. jones who had lived in their home for 50 years.in preparation for a possible evacuation, we develop a grid designating areas of responsibility for the fire department, the police department and members of the national guard. which drove through south wilkes-barre and downtown making announcements from our vehicles, knocking on doors, and posting evacuation orders. we knocked on every door. we left n notes on doors where no one answered to ensure their evacuation. most people heated the request to evacuate on the first try but if anyone resisted, they took their names, wrote down the address we spent additional time working to get them out of their homes. we successfully executed our plan because of the seamless collaboration and communication among officials from the national, state and local level. even so, after every major event, we look back and discuss how could we approve. for example, should we ever need to evacuate again, we now have a contact in place with a local bus company that agreed to drive routes throughout the city

privatized that the private sector can do it better where is the outcry that says we don't just want mr. smith the c.e.o. of equifax to resign after all let's remember he gets one and a half million dollars a year none of that is being taken back he has an eighteen and a half million dollar pension package which it was announced today when he resigned he would not lose this man is walking away from a disaster for millions and there's nothing at all not only to punish him which i don't care that much about but to change this structure so it doesn't keep happening the way the banks abuse those that car companies with their ignition and other emission manipulation scandals we're surrounded by a private capitalist system that is literally screaming to us my god you can do better than this you know just to get one last time go back to my example from the seventy's. and again tell me richard if i'm this is just an anomaly i was twenty three in one nine hundred seventy two and that year i and i don't my own business for a couple of years that year was the first year that i made more money than my fat

talking to the insurance company on the phone as i often have to do in the insurance companies as well mr. smith went through his treatment, he is all done now. i say what you mean by that and they say will he was in the residential facility for 28 days. he is clean and sober so he doesn't have that addiction issue anymore. arm, no, now we are going to start treating the addictive disease. [applause] so, when we are talking about going into rehab, going through programs and inpatient detox and so forth, were not treating addiction, treating withdrawal. those are easy. i can give anybody intoxication withdrawal to the point that they require hospital. that's not what's being treated. it's only later, "after words" that the withdrawal is out of the way that you start thinking clearly again and at that point we can start getting to the core. the core is that you are uncomfortable to begin with. that discomfort is what needs to be treated, to get you to the point where you say i'm alright in my own skin. that comes to part two. for part two, addictive disease is a three-part entity. we have the gene

and mrs. smith and mr. and mrs. jones who outlived their home for 50 years. in preparation we developed a grade designated areas for the fire department and for members of the national guard. we drove through downtown making announcements from vehicles, knocking on doors and posting evacuation orders. we left notes on the doors of the homes no one answered and made a check to ensure that evacuation. most people did on the first try but if anyone resisted, they took their names, wrote down the addresses and we spend address is and we spend additional time working to get them out of their homes. we successfully executed our plan because of the seamless cooperation ancollaboration andn among officials from the national, state and local level. but even so, we look back and discuss how we can improve should we ever need to evacuate again, we have a contact in place that picks up people and takes them to safety. i hope the congress will conduct its own after action review as it did after hurricane katrina in august of 2005. while they started the advancement of the

mr. smith: mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to the motion to recommit. this bill is a result of an open process. in fact, several amendments were agreed to. in fact, one sponsored by my colleague who just spoke. and so i think we should reject this procedural motion so we can move on to pass a good underlying bill with modest reforms. with that i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. without objection, the previous question is ordered. the question is on the motion to recommit. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. the gentlelady from washington. ms. delbene: i ask for a record vote. the speaker pro tempore: a recorded vote is requested. those in support of the request for a recorded vote will rise and be counted. a sufficient number having arisen, a record vote is ordered. members will record their votes by electronic device. pursuant to clause 9 of rule 20rks this is a five-minute vote on the motion to recommit, will be followed by a five-minute vote o

in that e-mail peter smith offered to make introductions to mr. flynn's son, michael j. flynn who worked as chief of staff in his father's company. in phone conversations peter smith told a computer expert he was in direct contact with that mr. flynn and his son, the expert said an anti-clinton research document prepared by mr. smith's group identified the younger mr. flynn as someone who would be associated with the effort. so mike flynn's son, mike flynn jr., his alleged role in that effort to collude with russian hackers with the campaign that was exposed by "the wall street journal" in june. now, today nbc cites four current and former government officials that he's the subject of robert mueller's inquiry as of course is michael flynn sr. and today things got much worse in the reporting about him. back in june jeff stelg, who is really well sourced on intelligence issues he reported for news week back in june that one of the business dealings that mike flynn sr. never disclosed when he got to washington was a russian partnership he was pitching to build 16, count them

i'm talking to their insurance company on the phone as i often do in the interest of me says well, mr. smith, went through his treatment and he is all done now. [laughter] i say what you mean by that marquis was in the residential facility for 20 days. he's clean and sober. he doesn't have that addiction issue anymore. um, no. now we will start treating the addictive disease. [cheering] when we talk about going into rehab and going through partial programs and going into inpatient detox and so forth we are not treating addiction. retreating intoxication. retreating withdrawal. those are easy and i can give anyone intoxication and withdrawals to the point that they require a hospital. that is not what is being treated there. it is only later, after the postacute withdrawal is out of the way, after you start thinking clearly again and at that point we can start getting to the core. the core is that you are uncomfortable and you're uncomfortable to begin with. that's discomfort is what needs to be treated, to get you to the point where you say, i am alright in my own skin. that comes to part tw

. >> that's the major criticism, mr. smith.eople who are opposed to corporate tax cut also say, you'll cut taxes, then the executives will pay themselves more, raise the dividend, and the worker won't benefit >> i think you're talking about apples to oranges. the repatriation of funds overseas is one thing. capital investment is not made on the basis of money coming from overseas or from santa claus, it's made on the basis of the return on invested capital the higher the tax rate, the less capital investments you'll get. the less capital investment that you get, the slower wage increases because that's how you make blue collar people more productive that criticism is fundamentally wrong and doesn't understand basically how things work in the boardroom. >> i would agree with fred, back to 2005 you had a small number of pharmaceutical companies who had a great deal of profits overseas they brought them back even though congress had rules. you must do this and that, you must not do this or that with it they broke the rules they bo

mr. smith from nebraska. i thank him for his leadership on this issue and with that i'll yield him three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from nebraska is recognized for three minutes. mr. smith: i rise in support of this bill and thank the gentlelady from south dakota for her tremendous effort on this piece of legislation. . bill, improves existing law bill, improves existing law and the message is taxpayers should not provide money to individuals who are wanted for felonies and other crimes. this improves existing bipartisan law and it's not a new concept. it only applies to individuals with outstanding warrants for serious crimes of the bill provides four years for the social security administration to implement this law and to ensure benefits are not unfairly or improperly disconnected. -- discontinued. and o provides a process provides time for them to address the concern. in addition, s.s.a. is provide to compassionate allowances for those with serious disabilities or medic

like when you go to the doctor's office and he says, mr. smith, we won't have your test results for a week, but in the meantime, just start munching on that bowl of pills over there." now it's a complex bill that reworks, i think it is, one-sixth, one-sixth of the world's largest economy. so before the vote, republicans have set aside 90 seconds of debate. in other words, they're going to kill obamacare in roughly the amount of time it takes to microwave a frozen burrito. both will kill you. ( laughter ) now, there's a little wrinkle getting this done, including the 10 days that are left to vote are, three jewish holy days, which the senate has off. but that doesn't bother senator lindsey graham, who said, "i want to honor every religion's holiday." but then added, "harry reid had a vote on obamacare on christmas eve." that doesn't even make sense, because christmas is the sacred story of how a woman gave birth in a barn with no healthcare, and it was fine. worked out great! ( cheers and applause ) perfect! perfect! now, here's how the plan works

. >>> mr. smith family time is important i know this. i'm glad you'll be spending more time with them, especially now that retirement takes you off the wall of shame. keep your eye on this stock as the story develops much more "mad money" ahead including my exclusive wb m, what a hot stock shares up over 100%. is the companies out of the woods, maybe it was never in them when things feel uncertain this market is the time to reach for familiar names tonight i'm going off the charts to fall out about an old stand by all your calls, tonight's edition of the "lightening round" so stick with cramer. if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that. (snaps) if you'd have told me that i could afford... a gig-speed. a gig-speed network. it's like 20 times faster than what most people have. i'd of said... i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got
