trey platt.'s funeral service is being led by trey "the noogie machine" platt. that guy gave you noogies? what, did he carry a stepladder? he made me carry it. so, my dad has these questions he asks to help create a theme for the service, or whatever. question one: "what were your last words with the deceased?" lame. question two: wait... my last words with marvin were lovely. i've been thinking about them a lot. me, too. we went for a hike in the snow and had this amazing talk. my last day with pop he taught my son how to skate. well, this is clearly yielding nothing. thanks, dad. guess i'll have to fill the time with some jokes... again.

our great telescopes have just in -- identified two more platts are outside our solar system millions that seemed to be enough like us that they could support life. i suppose if we found as sometime between now and the end of this ceremony that we are not in the universe alone, i would have to revise my assessment. [laughter] these two things, the exploration of outer space and the exploration of the innermost, my new part of our of ourysical -- minute existence have reinforced what happened here for 20 years and will continue to happen here. we have learned a lot about our bodies. we now know, for young women, the two genetic variances that put the most at risk of breast cancer said that if that is identified, you can have a dramatic increase in survival rates and even prevention rate. inst. jude's hospital memphis, they found a genetic variants between children who had superficially, the exact same kind of breast cancer -- i mean brain cancer said that the madison which cured one but was killing the variant group would -- when cut in half would save them, too. all these things are g

we have word of another terror platt plot. the latest, coming up flying is old hat for business travelers. the act of soaring across an ocean in a three-hundred-ton rocket doesn't raise as much as an eyebrow for these veterans of the sky. however, seeing this little beauty over international waters is enough to bring a traveler to tears. we're putting the wonder back into air travel, one innovation at a time. the new american is arriving. it shows. we don't run like that. we build john deere equipment the way we always have: the right way. times change. our principles don't. you don't just have our word on it. you've got our name on it. that's how we run. nothing runs like a deere. discover the full line of riding lawn equipment at johndeere.com/howwerun or your local dealer. at johndeere.com/howwerun (hocoming!ing) mom, come on. mom! because we know that this is the season that inspires.

one of the reasons that we know that -- if we look back at the platte amendment in 1902, the united statesignty much the cuban nation to the cuban people only if the u.s. could continue to have influence and control over how it ran its government. so the revolution in 1959 is not what triggered the united states feeling that it ought to control what's going on in cuba. the united states has always wanted to take control of this island nation from far before fidel castro and his brother raul. >> let me let lisandro. >> we could spend the entire day discussing this. ultimately this is a u.s. policy and should be formulated in the best interests of the united states. my argument on that is that regardless of its impact on cuba and i think it will be positive on cuba, ultimately there's no reason why the most powerful nation in world needs to treat cuba has a threat and keep its citizens from traveling there. it's increasingly become isolated. we talked about the sanctions about south africa. the analogy breaks down because in a sense almost the entire world were behind those sanctions in sout
