>> john, our friend and colleague joe scarborough has choice words for mitch mcconnell this morning. let's watch. >> mitch mcconnell just like moscow mitch won't do anything in protecting us from foreign enemies, he has been the one person that has killed every one of these bills to protect us from our domestic enemies that are gunning down our children every day. what's his end game? what's his legacy? where does it end? >> where does it end? >> well, i think there's a piece of scarborough sound this morning that i also -- companion piece to that which i thought was very interesting because it got right at the heart of something important, he made a point about the nra attacking walmart and that the people who wrote that press release in the pack of nra were not representing the nra or gun members but people who had investments in weapons

scarborough -- >> excuse me.he gentleman -- the timekeeper will add 30 seconds to your time. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> mr. chairman, parliamentary inquiry. >> gentleman will say it's parliamentary inquiry. >> is it appropriate for a member of the body to personally attack a witness before the body? >> or shall i say, can a or shall i say, should -- can a -- can a congressman's words be taken down in the event that he cast dispersions on a witness? >> we ask everyone to adhere to rules of decorum. the gentleman will proceed. >> thank you, mr. chairman. joe scarborough then wrote, "whereas the reverend al sharpton referred to members of the jewish faith as white interlopers and diamond merchants," have you ever referred to this? >> no, sir. i referred to one in harlem, an individual, who i didn't even know was jewish, as an interlope and said i should never refer to his race. i said i was against those that were using apartheid diamonds and when i did a funeral in crown heights in '91 because we were boycottin

victoria fritz is at one of the uk's biggest bus makers in scarborough.u want a bus, you never find one? no, and now apparently i'm in charge of one. this one is heading to you in london at about 9 o'clock. so i've another 20 minutes before it disappears. bus making is big business in scarborough, about 700 people are involved in the industry. but the sales are down 40% on last year. passenger numbers continue to fall, down 5% over the last five years. so what will it take to invest more in the network. graham, you represent about 95% of the bus companies operating in britain, is this national bus strategy enough? well, it is a great start, the money the chancellor announced this month and the proposals today are important. in particular the proposal to supercharge partnership working between councils and bus operators. where the partnerships work, that is where we are seeing growth in passenger numbers. we know about 1,200 right bus workers have been made redub tant, what is —— redundant, what is stopping that happening. it is hard to see that and the im

my name is ashley scarborough, and i'm working in primary care central? it's my pleasure to represent a large and interdisciplinary group and working to include lgbt in the group, so thank you? for this initiative, it's really more than data collection? it offers an opportunity for staff to align with our values and moving towards true north equity creating culture change and ultimately providing more inclusive care for the lgbtq population. i want to recognize the longer term efforts in the department for gender equity data collection? and just the staff advocating for this data and advocating for this community so aligning with that over the last few years has also been structural policy incentives and mandates that have been elevating the priority of data collection, including local ordinances authored by scott wiener, state legislative bills, and pay-for-performance dollars, part of the prime program over three years, $1.7 million for the collection of sexual orientation and gender identity data? each of these mandates have focused on data collection,

that's what caused i think joe scarborough and others -- >> that's what made joe scarborough call him moscow mitch. >> that's exactly what happened. it was that bill. and also bills for social media and things we can do to protect our democracy. >> a republican senator. you had a republican co-sponsor on this. we did. now we have several versions of that bill that would simply say to those states, there are still 11 states that don't have full backup paper ballots, if you're going to get federal funding, you've got to do this. it pushes them to do it and also requires -- allows for audits -- >> the distinction -- >> it's unbelievable to me. >> what he doesn't seem to understand about mccarthyism, joe mccarthy was accusing a lot of people falsely of doing stuff they didn't do. joe scarborough accused him, moscow mitch, of doing what he said publicly. there's a very big difference there. >> it was very public. he does not want to see these changes. we really look at this -- this is about our democracy. it's a foreign power trying to invade our democracy. i don't care if you are a conser

but listen to what msnbc joe scarborough said. >> after what they said about barack obama's executiveers. they are going to let donald trump raid pentagon funding. liz: is that what it's about? the gao and the cbo studied it saying the president can do this. the supreme court, lincoln versus vigil says the president can do this. is it really about hypocrisy? >> they found a creative way, use an existing law from 1976, the national emergencies act to use existing funding to move it into the border wall project. this is much-needed infrastructure to deliver on his promise for a more secure america. this is something i give him credit for, gaining momentum for these plans that have been put in place for a couple years now. liz: they act shocked, shocked that this is going on. federal agencies have been doing this since it forever. so this one instance where the border wall is being built, it's not that it is news. federal agencies have been reprogramming spending of taxpayer dollars practically forever. >> we'll get a substantial durable barrier on the border. you can add access mobility

i'm focused on serving the folks in florida's first congressional district which, by the way, joe scarborough used to represent. >> ed: i mentioned the letter i word, which didn't come up lat night. your members in the house scene pushing full speed ahead to try to impeach the president when even a 2020 democrats do not want to go there. >> matt to come out pretty simple 6 out of 10 americans oppose impeachment, it's party bad politics for someone who wants to be president of united states. i feel my house democratic colleagues had really lurched so far to the left they've become so captive to voices like mika brzezinski and joe scarborough that they are taking poisonous political candy in the form of an impeachment. >> ed: we are going to make a pole, you will not be populated but may be in florida you are. we appreciate you coming in. >> you will be popular everywhere, ed. >> ed: i appreciate that. up next. >> it takes more people, right? >> ed: president trump poking fun at the green deal. after last night's big debate, it seems he may have been looking into a crystal ball if a certain dem

already criticizing don't jump for sacking john bolton as the 27 national security adviser joe scarborough on image said we see owned by the same owners of c.n.n. and sky news backers of biden and ward all saying. thing you know bolton wouldn't cozy up to america's enemies like the president would that's why he went oh it's an embarrassment of the democratic leadership it really is bolton this was probably the most significant warmonger in recent history and to be able to give him many kudos when when he was fired and he was fired not resigned and think that this will be smersh is up his image for quite a while because bolton was on the verge of creating an invasion of iraq has responsible for our attitude towards russia and china and the force of north korea in seoul and when he was appointed boy it was a view very person except pessimistic situation but now that he fired is going to limit the possibility of donald trump setting off a war by accident he will do it on purpose is a he's not i don't think either warm or a shot a lot of other busy problems but that's not one of them and sold

number one area in england and wales regards the rate of personal insolvency, followed closely by scarborough in every 200 adults in stoke—on—trent being insolvent. as to why? i have been speaking to a variety of experts this week on the ground and they say the reasons are fourfold. obviously, we used to have the potteries industry here which employed tens of thousands of people. now, it employs around 7000. there was a glut of cheap housing, which brings people who are on low wages, quite often zero—hour contracts. low wages, cheap housing and that historical issue of far fewer jobs and that historical issue of far fewerjobs in and that historical issue of far fewer jobs in manufacturing. and that historical issue of far fewerjobs in manufacturing. it has all contributed to make stoke—on—trent one of the hotspots for personal insolvency. if people are worried about facing this problem, what can they do? there is a lot of help out there, and it backed i spent yesterday at a food bank, one of 16 set up across the city here. the people coming in are obviously quite desperate and certainly one o

it's clear i think building on what they said it, joe scarborough believe it or not summed it up today. >> donald trump is reelected president, then donald trump and mitch mcconnell can determine the shape of the supreme court on the federal judiciary for the next half-century. it's that simple. > >> laura: sharpton went on to say, we can't let that happen. is that what it's really about? >> most importantly it's about roe vs. wade. and that was very special. and that is why they will never relent, it's very important for them to continually smear his name. and it's a very dangerous moment that we have reached it's a rubicon of sorts that has crossed the disruptions that occurred at continually during the hearing. the people jumping up and shouting, the bereaved father who is against senator feinstein who approached him it's basically the use of anti-for politics i think it's a very dangerous thing that they are playing with. >> laura: i didn't have time to get to the angle, but i wanted to do a little flashback. because blase ford's lawyer recently did admit the real motivation behind

about the glaring omission of the story, by then the times had posted its correction, on msnbc joe scarborough'saction was different. another exception was cbsn reporter. >> the late sunday the times issued a clarification, the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the incident. >> but the rush by several 2020 democrats, elizabeth warren, beto o'rourke, kamala harris to demand kavanaugh's impeachment filled the network's coverage and turns the story's flaws into foot not. when rachel maddow interviewed harris did not mention the times correction. >> do you think getting to the truth no matter the political cost? >> yes, we are talking about justice. >> reality caught up with the coverage, by wednesday washington post was running the story with this headline n whiplash moment, democrats are back get away from kavanaugh allegations. ahead much of the press clambering for military action against iran while the president explains refrain, first corey lewandowski has no ♪ ♪ >> well, 3 cable news networks went live with corey lewandowski testifying as he refused

>> i tell you, lou, i laughed out loud watching that discussion between pete buttigieg and joe scarboroughxplain the bible. watching those two is like watching two 5-year-olds trying to explain trig nom tri. they didn't have a clue what they were talking about. here they were attacking people like me, conservative christians for believing we ought to enforce the borders and protect our citizens, and they misquoted jesus. they said jesus said let the children come, let the children come. jesus never said that. they were confusing jesus with the statue of liberty. what jesus said was let the children come to me. there's a big difference between children coming to jesus and children with their parents crossing the border illegally. look, lou, what pete buttigieg and other democrats failed to quote from jesus is when he said render unto caesar the things that are caesars. god has given caesar, the government, the responsibility of protecting our borders and our citizens, and instead of vilifying president trump for fulfilling that god-given responsibility, we all, we all ought to be supporting

i call my senior producer joe scarborough sometimes, it makes him mad. >> the society for human resourcesagement that must be a fun place to work. you know. >> you think they are just trying to get fired. >> i would not last long. they would say, you have to go, you have been here 20 minutes. kennedy: do you think ber bernie sanders supporters walk around and take stuff off people's desk. >> so hard to listen to other opinions, they are not my opinion they are other opinions, how about we live in a country, where you can speak your mind, not get your head chopped off, that does not exist everywhere, we should be grateful for this 4678 people who are 4 years old they learn, in preschool how to have you know hear, opposing views and disagree, not saying that 4-year-old stick the landing on that. their execution is not always perfect but they know. kennedy: they are learning. >> they are trying, i don't think a lot of grown ups try. kennedy: where do we develop this idea, our opinions have to be taken at sacrosanct, and everyone with a different opinion it bad. >> a lai lady said to me on a

>> no, when joe scarborough, even he scratches his head and says he doesn't understand what senator harris is doing, you know you've got a problem. for senator harris, who has a dreadful record of suppressing exculpatory evidence when she was the d.a. in san francisco, they've had to dismiss more than 1,000 criminal cases because of her office or policy. she is the last person who should be commenting about the integrity of the judicial system. what is really amazing here is it was obviously preplanned, laura. the evidence is so absolutely flimsy. but as i said last night, this is a war. this is a culture war. it's a total war. they will be unrelenting, and conservatives just have to be ready to be vigilant and return fire with fire. >> laura: this is all about 2020. people are trying to jump over each other to prove their progressive bona fides. when aoc comes back and pushes for impeachment or investigations on the road to impeachment, ayanna pressley comes out, same thing. the squad is an action and even before that, with several democratic candidates for the presidency saying a sitting

folks who worked at x 10, or clinton, later would be called clinton labs, actually warehouse in scarborough school by dupont, who got permission to use that to house the folks so they would not have to commute so far. here ago -- here we go. after victory here is a statement by harry truman on a day when he announced the manhattan project. to the general public. three bombs were made but one was used at trinity, two were used in japan. $2 billion was spent by the end of that year. six to 4% of that in oak ridge. -- 64% in oak ridge. graphite piles stopped sending plutonium to loss alamosa. y 12alpha particles of were shut down. sentocessing of y 12 were down. both nationally and locally. who should control the bomb? what is the difference between the bomb and atomic energy? there were budget issues, contractor issues, mission changes for the facilities that served our nation is part of the manhattan project. and congress was also involved in the search for spies. looking at our friends. i got to enthusiastic. we're looking at the trinity cattle. i heard up hereford as large as 350 head was

>> look, joe scarborough has a great point here.ot only a lawyer but form attorney general, she couldn't wait 24 hours. she's not the only who made the mistake. elizabeth warren -- they don't care about the law. they want to win the nomination. liz: great to see you. come back soon. >>> coming up, president trump rails against the democrats for their open border policies at his rally in new mexico last night. but first fireworks on capitol hill. the first impeachment hearing descended into disarray and chaos. a combative corey lewandowski was firing back. that story is coming up. >> how about these phony democrats, they started with russia, russia, russia. that turned out to be a fraud. it's not "pretty good or nothing." it's not "acceptable or nothing." and it's definitely not "close enough or nothing." mercedes-benz suvs were engineered with only one mission in mind. to be the best. in the category, in the industry...in the world. lease the gla 250 suv for just $329 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the be

, why the democrats in the media are attacking kavanaugh again, building on what they sail, joe scarborough, believe it or not, summed it up today. watch. >> if donald trump is re' elected president, then donald trump and mitch mcconnell will determine the shape of the united states supreme court and the federal judiciary for the next half century. it's that simple. >> yeah, and sharpton went on to basically have a -- like oh my god, we can't let that happen is that what it is really about, paul? >> i think most importantly it is really about roe verses wade. brett indication was seen as the potential fifth street overturn roe verses wade, and that has why this was very special. i think anybody who was picked by trump who is a judicial conservative would have faced this, and that's why they will never relent. she important for them to continually smear his name. it's all part of what sid bloom enshall used to call the permanent campaign which has now been transferred to the judiciary, unfortunately, and i think it is a very dangerous moment that we have reached. we've reached it in the kava

as joe scarborough points out, john has lost the first six votes of his premiership.ising move, speaker john burkeow, famous for his calls for order announced he is stepping down next month after a decade in the roll. and the brexit situation continues as parliament is suspended, after tprime ministe controversially suffered the body in an effort to bring the did or die brexit plan through. >>> in case you blinked, we have tropical storm gabriel we tracked over the last couple of days. i'm happy to report, that is out in the atlantic. a couple of other tropical waves out here but for the peak of the hurricane center, which by the way is today, usually this is one of the most active days we're not looking at anything threatening over the land areas and even this tropical wave in the bahamas, added rain chances and hurricane center thinks it is a 20% chance of developing. if it did, it would remain a pretty weak storm. that's great. even far out into the atlantic, things are looking pretty good. again, this is the 20% chance of development. this tropical wave is 30% cha

brett scarborough from raytheon. dan prietto from google cloud. general gregg tuhill, brad maderi. matt berry. dave leavy, mark ker, and shawn love. if we could give them a round of applause, please. so just a couple logistical announcements. i'm trying to keep us on time. isc squared, if you're a member of that, you can get credit by going to the registration desk and giving them your member number, please. and they can send you a print certificate or they can give you a print certificate or they can send you a digital certificate. if you're an osaka member, i gather you have to go to the saka portal to register for continuing education. we're delighted to partner with them to offer continuing education credit for those of you who would like it. this is a very full and exciting afternoon. i'm very excited about it. we'll have a number of keynote from the general crawl who just will be introduced shortly. we then will have a number of panels, and we'll conclude with keynotes from the ego u uno and others. we have a full day ahead. and we'll then have a number of awards at the end o

our colleague joe scarborough asked that question directly to the house speaker earlier today on "morning joe." here she is in her own words. >> doesn't this need to be completed one way or the other by the end of the year? >> well, i think that we should move with purpose and expeditiously, not hastily though. the matter is in the hands of the intelligence committee under the leadership of adam schiff. it doesn't have to drag on. again, we're in court on many of these cases. but looking at the, shall we say, the material that the administration is giving us, they're actually speeding up the process. >> reporter: so here is what we now know. democrats believe ukraine controversy gives them the best case, the best argument to make against president trump. so the house intelligence committee, because this is an intelligence matter as they view it, will continue to take the lead. they'll do all the investigative work, even though congress is set to take a two-week recess starting today, members of that committee will stay behind and might hold a hearing next week we're learning. at some poin

allegedly they dug up dirt on joe scarborough. now that speaker pelosi is launching a formal impeachment inquiry i don't think the democrat also be appeased until the house of representatives vote to send the case to the senate where we're going to see this go to the senate. before you freak out for those who don't remember civic classes, let me explain. even if the house impeaches trump you can't remove a sitting president without a two-thirds majority in the senate so until the democrats can convince at least 20 republican senators to turn on their guy, impeachment remains a sideshow is that possible you could never rule out anything these days but i bet trump could confess to being the zodiac killer and wouldn't lose more than 10 or 15 senators. it made sense what they sold today. we haven't seen this level of acrimony since the civil war when things in washington turn hostile, that can and always will hurt the stock market plus this whole thing was sudden when i spoke to nancy pelosi just last week she was adamant she didn't w

portsmouth, torbay, scarborough are all close to the top and i think because people are hard up here it is 7000, so people get badly paid, some people can't work, and so, because they don't have much money, they do get in debt paying their rent. i believe buildings are being split into houses for multiple occupation so the rents are high and at a difficult place to live if you don't have much money and i think low incomes is the cause of it. what can people do? when they declared insolvency and made their way out of it, what would you suggest? yes, i think that the big thing is that people want to avoid it. according to one report we are looking at on the programme later, 93,000 people in stoke—on—trent have debt problems. and the work that's going on is to try to help those people, manage those debts, not to get to the position where they reallyjust can't pay them so that advice on budgeting, certainly on benefits and things you can get help with, and that's advising how to get work, and so all of those things are there to be found here, but 92,000, only one in six get any help, and

you're meddling in the election. >> the dramatic reading reminds me of scarborough country -- >> i wasthey're almost every day. >> almost the clever madness of when it is going south, you put jibberish on the air. not to confuse people, but all of a sudden it is a noise that is not as distracting as almost making you light headed. >> i could read you books of past governments from decades past that actually used this type of nonsense where you throw gibberish out at the population over and over again, nonsense, lies. then you admit, then you wrap it around a couple more lies. by the end the supporters of said public figure are so numb to the truth they do not recognize it, and there's a certain regime where you go back and read -- i'm not going to say. >> the early '30s germany? >> no, that's offensive. usually you get the writings from 1938, 1939. it wasn't the early '30s, where they literally talk about -- and you can say this about erdogan. you can say it about -- what is happening across the globe, you know, in russian. >> philippines. >> what is happening in hungary, what is happe

you would have to go back to joey scarborough playing t ball with the doreville hawks. >> good squad. >> good squad. i was about to tell you and i did the doreville hawks. you would have to go back 50 years to find a time when there were less border crossings before donald trump became president of the united states. and now with iran, and now with this ig report, and now with economists and the fed chair worried about a looming recession, with all the things going on across the world, you've got the president of the united states just doing a commercial for sheet metal down on the border. >> pole vaulters, mountain climbers, rolls royce of sheet metal, we're laughing not because it's funny, we're laughing because it's so absurd. the wall that you saw stacked up behind him may amount to the total amount of wall that's been put up since he promised it would go up. and as joe says, with everything going on the fact that he's taking time, the president of the united states, and going down and still fanning this story that he started four years ago during the campaign, build that wall, bu

own aspirin and numinous consent, a tweet from joe scarborough from july 29th of 2019, the entire linening from matt gaetz was based reportedly on the resolution that have been introduced over 20 years ago by then congressman joe scarborough. thanks to those reminding me of how stridently al sharpton and i opposed each other 20 years ago. we take pride in our friendship today because of the history, recognizing jesus' words that all have fallen short of god's glory and we should forgive each other 70 times seven times. >> without objection that will be entered into the record. >> let me think reverend sharpton for continuing to be a voice for the disenfranchised for all you've done got the country in the context of this issue, police violence and for the manner in which you stood with individuals over the years in new york, whether that was 42 shots at his doorstep unarmed african man whether patrick the security guard rudolph giuliani maligned. by releasing his juvenile records and turned out he was actually an altar boy who went to the same catholic school as the so-called mayor giul

joe scarborough stays second. >> this follows comments from omega advisers, leon cooperman to our scottn presidency would be bad for the market >> right now the market assuming donald trump is re-elected, if it looks like elizabeth warren is a credible or bernie sanders is credible, the market will be lower, not higher. i think she would be a bad market and bad markets generally go on for a year and go down 25%. >> could be that severe? >> i would say -- i would say basically her policies are counterproductive. they're negative for capitalism. >> for more let's bring in libby cantrell head of public policy at pimco it's early we know. but how much concern like that from cooperman are you getting from your clients? >> i actually was in a client meeting and it was the number one question, what was your outlook for 2020 it's early days. to put context in it, in the 2008 cycle around this time fred thompson, rudy giuliani were polling ahead. in 2012, wick perry was pulling ahead at this time so it is very early days and importantly we shouldn't extrapolate so much in terms of polling in iow

i am here at scarborough, at the uk's biggest bus manufacturer, to find out whether those plans deliverwn crazy cowboy mike bushell following his memorable american smooth on saturday's strictly. good morning. you may not bejumping you may not be jumping forjoy when you hear the weather today because we have more heavy rain coming in from the south—west which will exacerbate the situation we had at the weekend but before that, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine and some fog patches in the west. i will have more later on. it's monday the 30th september. our top story: the conservatives are aiming to get their party conference back on track following allegations about the prime minister's private life. last night, downing street denied a claim that borisjohnson squeezed a female journalist's thigh under a table at a private lunch 20 years ago. today, the chancellor, sajid javid, will set out plans for what he will call an infrastructure revolution. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. reporter: prime minister. how are you? i'm coming on your show i think. have you found the m

and a good friend to joe scarborough, don't say that, that won't help. i'm for balanced budgets, free trade. i don't believe in tariffs. i'm going to help the farmers by opening up markets so they can sell their soybeans and their grain all over the world. i'm like ronald reagan i want free markets and yes, we're going to protect our border. nobody is going to come in here unless we want them to come in here. but we're not doing to stomp on legal immigration, because as ronald reagan said that's our ticket forward. we'll be reaganite and we're going to push back on an ex-kgb agent. we're not going to let them even if mitch mcconnell wants them to, we're not going to let hem interfere with american democracy. that's not a hard message for a republican. a conservative, to deliver in the republican primary and they'd get 35%. >> a republican wouldn't make, but who could make a dent in this president as he goes into the general election. there would be an opening there. but no republican wants to step up for fear of the president's twitter account. for fear

he steps aside, leans out of the shot and there's joe scarborough borrow rig right there. >> he's a humblee it. >> you guys now how the titanic ended, right? [ laughter ] >> kids are waking up to this and, you know. >> trying to follow. >> learning something new about their "morning joe." anyway, so the kids also have gotten up for another reason, of course, as you know mom and dad shake the bed this time in the morning and they gore go, joey, wake up, tommy wake up, it's ratner's charts. >> after they play the record player. >> at some point i like steve ratner's charts to talk about elizabeth warren and bernie sanders healthcare costs. >> that would be very interesting. >> but that day is not today. so, kids, you'll get that maybe next week. >> yes, as we've been discussion healthcare was center stage, two days after troubling new data reveals concerns about healthcare coverage across the u.s. steve, what do you have? >> obviously healthcare was front and center and with good reason. i think there are two parts to this. the first part as joe framed it before, is the democratic vision aga

scarborough, if you were running this matter, what would you do? >> you keep it in early focus. learned during the clinton era, i was on government reform and oversight, and the blizzard of scandals that were always coming out of the clinton white house numbed americans. so everything that came up, again, they just glazed over it and said, oh, it's just democrats and republicans fighting each other. it's just a republican congress that doesn't like bill clinton fighting a democratic president. we would actually have hearings on bill clinton transferring missile technology to the chinese that profited his -- the biggest contributor to the democratic national committee. the pentagon told him not to do it. the state department told him not to do it. everybody told him not to do it. he did it anyway. no american could focus on that because there had been so many investigations throughout the clinton administration. we find ourselves there again. that's why i think it's critically important that the scope of this impeachment inquiry stays narrowly focused on national. the democrats d

prime minister, joe scarborough borrow hehere. pakistan of course as you know better than everybody, we've had at times a tur murough relationshi we have not followed through on weapons stills at times the pakistanis believe we have push them in directions that are not in their national interests. and, of course, americans have had concerns with the pakistanis now. just pulling back from the events of this week, even this month, give us, if you will, your best read on u.s./pakistani relations right now. are we in a better place today than we were, say, five, ten years ago? >> definitely. this is the best relationship pakistan had with the u.s. in almost two decades. but let me just give you brief history. pakistan joined -- u.s. and pakistan got together against the sof yents jetse had they invaded afghanistan. and so pakistan trained militants to fight jihad. they fought against the soviets. and so these groups came and they operatesed fr they operated from pakistan in the '80s. the u.s. backs up and leaves and in '91, we were sl
