mr. lee: mr. president, women make invaluable contributions to our families, communities, and workplaces. thankfully the opportunities for women in the workplace have grown tremendously over time and in recent decades. and there is no doubt without exception or qualification they should always be treated equally and receive equal pay for the same work as their male counterparts. this week the senate considered proceeding to a bill called the paycheck fairness act, one that was directed at achieving this goal by addressing the gender pay gap. but if we truly care about supporting and empowering women in the workplace, it's important that we understand what the pay gap is and what exactly it can tell us about women's experiences. so what is the pay gap? well, first, here's a crucial distinction that we have to make between the unadjusted pay gap and the adjusted pay gap. when most people refer to the gender pay gap, they mean the unadjusted pay gap where the comparison between the median man's pay a

>> well, yes, and you were the -- i'd say a virginian that i was happy to see there, not so much mr. lee, but -- who i apparently tended to poison the congress against my efforts there writing back to his brothers, but i suppose the less said about that the better. >> well, but, doctor, every one of us have had those our who are determined to force us into arrears. as you know, general washington was caught in that conway cabal and yet what helps us to succeed, doctor, would you deny, is very simply character. good character. and when i heard you say that you brought so many in as apprentices to acquaint them with printing, to be able to engage the spread of enlightenment, doctor, the entire world has become your apprentice in the pursuit of enlightment, in the pursuit of lint and what constitutes good character. i have to say this because for certain, that humility that i encountered when i first arrived in france could only be assuaged by following in the footsteps of such great men as dr. benjamin franklin. >> you're much too kind, mr. jefferson, but i do appreciate that. >> in 1787,

lee, thank you very much for joining us i want to go to the general and get your thoughts on what mr. lee had to say >> i tend to agree with tom. we have been in the cyclical value for a while. if you want to be in growth or tech, we like the more reasonably valued areas of those sectors and markets as well and i think it makes a lot of sense. in terms of what we are seeing with the volatility in the near term, i think we are seeing the stealth correction in the market for some time now if you look at the percentage of stocks trading above the short-term average, it was extremely high and that has come down over the past few months but that is not unusual for this phase of the cycle, the second year of a new bull market. you see the big thrust off of the bottom year two can be choppy you know, i think this year has been strong so far i would not necessarily be surprised if we saw chop here over the next couple of months that would not worry me. tom's point about it being earlier on in the cycle, that made sense year two, off of the about you saw volatility. >> i got it. thank you very muc
