narrator: rebecca jim is the director of l.e.a.d., a community-action agency. through the years, she has witnessed firsthand the effects of toxins in picher. jim: i was an educator here in this community for over 25 years. and what i found when i first got here was children that were ready to learn, and they were able to, and they were eager, and they were excited, and they could learn easily. and through those years, those children became more exposed, and, i think, became damaged. man: rebecca jim contacted me in the mid-1990s and asked me whether i could measure some of the teeth that she had collected from school-age children for lead. we measured those teeth. the levels were relatively high. narrator: the tests further confirmed rebecca jim's suspicions -- that the children were being affected by lead poisoning. many of the problems lead causes in the human body appear to be associated with its ability to mimic or inhibit the action of another metal -- calcium. calcium can only enter the body's cells by binding to a specific protein. once in the cells, it

. >> claudia and jim denny's children, brandon and rebecca, were two of six kids at the daycare centerrebecca was in the hospital for ten days, released in pretty decent shape. she looked horrible but she was in pretty good shape. brandon in 1995 spent 126 days hospitalized. about the first 45 days, he had 4 major brain surgeries. they could not tell me for 35 days if brandon would live. they informed us that if he did survive, he would more than likely never walk or talk again. but we have a young man who is now 21 years old and he's a walking and talking example of what miracles are all about. >> the oklahoma city bombing remains the worst domestic terrorist act in american history. it changed the country in ways that are still being felt. >> people forget how different the world was when the bombing happened. and i think it shattered across the world people's feelings of safety and security because if it can happen in oklahoma city, it can happen anywhere. if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. >> we became a more cautious society, barriers went up around federal buildings

and as rebecca said, do no harm. >> jim. >> well, i think it's the ip transition. it's not just because the fcc is the challenge with navigating the technological change successfully. i think it really tees up a much larger question for the agency, which is, which is this, the ip transition will challenge the agency to modernize its entire approach to regulation. i think we are all pretty aware of how dramatically the industry has changed just in the past decade am a let alone the last several. the fcc really hasn't. and i think we are very encouraged that chairman wheeler and the commissioners have decided to tackle this pretty immediately after he assumed his job infected and i think, i think tom wheeler is the kind of guy that i think understands the challenges and the difficulty of altering the approach to an agency but also i think that's the biggest challenge they have is to really bring it into the 21st century and updating its entire approach to match the realities of the marketplace. >> thank you, jim, considering its 2014, it's probably not too much to as

jim. >> i really don't know what whatsapp is. i will trust you on that. i would echo what rebecca said.utcase pretty clearly sets a fairly expansive view of section 706. i think it is important that we parse through what the fcc could do versus what the fcc should do . there is a big distinction between the two. i do think, maybe going back to ,our original question, randy it is important to divide the legal issues that were teed up in the case versus the policy -- whatf what the root the correct regulatory policy should be. for many of us, we believed the verizon case was going to be about the ancillary authority and how far that extended. we are throwing that a little 706.f a curveball by a lot of folks did not believe 706 could convey the direct authority that the court -- at least a divided court -- found. but it is the law of the land here in the d.c. circuit. is correctly interpreted as something more than nothing and truck -- and something short of common carriage. it will be up to future decisions and future fcc rulemakings to determine what the contours of the -- of what that l

jim. just so you know. lucky is a very good boy. okay. so i've got that out of the way. so, that was a good number, wasn't it? >> yes. rebecca you know, she didn't waiver, she didn't caveat it. i really like it. you shouldn't waver or caveat. >> i just wonder, jim, i tied something to, if you notice in the last 18 months or so, sometimes i think the market is over its skis and saying nothing can happen that will happen and something weird happens, why didn't i assume nothing would happen. i was thinking we haven't lowered it enough because of the weather. >> others around you were saying that. i think this is why the market has been rallying, people are thinking the last two numbers were false tells. this is why the s&p's been going higher. does the market sell off because the s&p's been going higher and this is what they really want. anything is possible. that's certainly possible. now we know why we were going to record highs. thingers are better and march will probably be even better than this number and that's why it's been happening. >> in a little bit of growth, you know, we're already seeing some of the deficit issues
