so my protagonist is someone who is an ex-jazz musician, who spent his adult years playing with black groups, he comes back to san francisco at a time when japan town is still sort of unraveling from this sort of who lives here, who doesn't live here, and he wants to find japan town again, find his own sort of home while at the same time around him his own community is looking at him as if he is a traitor. so as he says and used to say in the play, i'm on the outside of the outside. my country thinks i'm a criminal, my own community thinks i'm a traitor. how does he sort of find home for himself in america given that kind of a set up? so that's where the stories all kind of converged and my central character, where he came from and his journey and his -- his journey, what he has to go through during the course of the play. >> this central character, chet, is a very interesting one. i gather during the process there were some events that happened in contemporary news concerning a certain japanese american left tenant or aaron wataga >> yeah, lieutenant aaron wataga >> could you talk ab

i wonder who? on the day of march 1st in the 5th year after the second millennium, a massacre took place in babylon. it's my pleasure it introduce the next poet, george evans. . >> first, i would like to read a poem by my dear friend and wife, daisy samora, who was to be here today but is in nicaragua, keeping in mind what michael said about jorge and casablanca, i will read it in her language or my spanish first, then in translation. it's a poem directly addressed to poets but certainly to activists as well. (speaking spanish) no man's land. we are a mine field of clarity and whoever crosses the barbed wire comes back to life. but who is interested in crawling through undergrowth? who dares sail a tempest? who wants to come face to face with purity? that's why we're fenced off in this no man's land under permanent cross fire. three bomb holes. flag study. red. she walks into the bright vegetable garden, chopped water to life from brittle landscape, leans her hoe against goat wire, admires shoots b

but who was that woman? who was gertrude stein.eum can see her art collection. she once said america is my country, but paris is my hometown. she grew up in oakland, in 2001 bob mackenzie had this look at her life. >> reporter: unless you're a student of 20th century literature you probably have never read anything by gertrude stein. the american writer who meant most of her time in france. but you probably know what she said of oakland, there is no their there. gertrude stein grew up in oakland from four to 14. for a while the family lived here at 1640 tenth avenue. little gertrude was an avid reader. by the age five she was reading shakespeare. they found what they were looking for in paris. where new art, new literature, new ideas of how to live. the cafes were full of talk and every chair was filled by a poet, a writer, a painter or a patron of the arts or by someone posing as one or the other. writers wrote in public. painters painted in public, art was in the streets, and radical new books were everywhere. and gertrude stein

crowley, who was formally on the commission, who has helped. this will be one of the greatest municipal buildings in the country, if not the greatest. i have to refer to my notes because some of these stats are pretty incredible. this building will design 55% less energy than most office buildings anywhere. that is one-third less energy than most buildings consume. over the next seven to five years, it will save an estimated $180 million in energy costs. that is a lot of money that will be saved by our ratepayers. we also talked about the reclaimed water. all of the sewage will be treated on site, as well as the gray water. that means all of the demand for the low flow toilets and your girls -- urinals will be met, and over 700,000 gallons of water will be saved annually. it will also save an additional 900,000 gallons that we are using at the sustainability district. it is a significant water savings that we need to pursue throughout the city. i also want to thank the mayor for his leadership on this. beginning in his early dpw days. dpw, p u

he didn't -- i couldn't find anyone who wasn't a kuwaiti arab, who wasn't muslim, who knew him well in school. his lab partner just remembers him as a person who had very broken english. his professors remember him being very good in math and science. but never had a single substantive conversation with him about anything that didn't involve molecules and formulas. so he was in north carolina for almost four years but he came into contact with americans on a very glancing basis. it's as if you are changing planes in a strange city and you walk through the airport. have you met the people of, say, cincinnati? not really. you passed by them. that's what he did in basically four years. he self-isolate himself and he policed the borders, the perimeter, the social proximity, to limit contact with americans. but sometimes events intervened and one of the things i learned, which was a surprise to me was that he had a criminal record in the united states. i'm surprised that other investigators -- the government didn't turn this up but he liked to drive at high-speeds without a driver's license

that was the people who self-identify as arabs who live in khartoum and along the nile. since then it has been a story of the hegemony of the ethnic groups that define themselves as arab along the nile against everybody else. it is the story of marginalization. it is also a story of climate change because the sahara along here is moving south, in some places as much as 20 miles a year and other places as much as three miles a year. this is having an extraordinary domino effect and a lot of the ethnic groups who are living here, mainly self identified arab, having to move and they're moving onto land occupied by people who self identified as black african. now you are going to get bored of me saying people self-identify but here's what i have learned. in my time working in 12 different afghan countries. does not matter the content of your blood. there is intermarriage everywhere. what matters is how you self-identify in part of the story with sudan is unfortunately the racism of some of the air of groups who consider themselves to be racially superior to the black african

there are employers who use health reimbursement accounts who i believe use them properly, who do not have expirations. who provide benefits statements regularly, who allow the broadest possible use of the account, and whose employees may elect to use their benefit to be part of healthy san francisco, to be part of a spouse's health plan, to meet a copayment, or to drop it down any way they choose. we have such a diverse employment base that we have people who work five hours a week. but in cases i know they get $1.37 per hour, and when the have a package of receipts for clarity and, -- claritin, aspirin, contact lens solution -- they submitted. my concern is our small employers and our high road employers who are doing everything to comply with the spirit and letter of the law, which is to make money available to employees for their personal health care. to that, i have to say that 55% reimbursement rates for medical reimbursement accounts, i think, is a really good goal. if that is what the city can do with all of the city's outreach, education, language -- we have a very educated a

it's people who do not use the commodity, who don't use oil, who don't use the foodstuffs, if they want to buy it up and keep it off the market so they can then sell it when the price goes up, why else would they buy it? they're not collectors, this is not stamps, this is not a hobby, it's a way to make money. and how do they make money? by driving up the price of the commodity by boying -- buying and with holding it and then selling it when they can make a profit and what we want is for the cftc to tell to people who don't use it, no, there are limits on what you can buy. and we believe that contributes to the price of oil and unlike the gentleman from georgia who said, no, the price of oil has only to do with exploration and drilling, well, no one i think really thinks. that maybe not even the gentleman from georgia. and what they do is to say, no, the cftc would have that money. they in fact in their budget will give the cftc less money in the next fiscal year than they have this year. we have given the cftc new powers under the financial reform legislation which they don't like to c

and, you know, this is who we are. and it wasn't like we weren't a couple before, but you weren't quite as public in places where it sort of stood out. >> hinojosa: and was it easy for you? >> you know, it's sort of like it's easy and it's sort of... you sort of think about it in a way that you didn't before. but it's important. and so even if it'not easy, you've got to embrace it, because it's important to get past that. >> hinojosa: this is your life, right. >> and it's your kids' life. and it's your neighbors' lives, and it's all the other kids and their parents in that classroom's life. and they need to see that, you know, i'm here, i'm in this classroom with my son for the same reasons other parents are. i want my son to succeed at his school. i want him to do his homework. i also want to know, in my case, is he wearing his uniform? what are the uniform rules at a parochial school? what are, sort of, the rules of the road here, so that i can make sure he's meeting his end of the bgain back at school? that's no dif

who have paid their taxes. and when they are in need, the prime minister is taking money away from them. i asked him again, how can it be right that people with cancer, 7,000 people with cancer are losing 94 pounds a week? >> we are using precisely the same test as the last government supported. all we see -- all we see here is a labour party desperate not to support welfare reform. and trying to find an exclusive to get off supporting welfare reform. anyone who is terminally ill gets immediate access to the higher level of support and we will provide that to all people who are unable to work. that is the guarantee we make. but he's got to stop wriggling off his responsibilities and back the welfare reform he talks about. >> mr. speaker, he doesn't know the detail of his own bill. let me explain it to him. because the government -- because the government is stopping contributory employment support allowance after one year for those in work-related activity, cancer patients, 7,000 of them are losing 94 pounds a

including his father who i have known for 40 years who is a terrific guy.me from very good family. they are very, very good at creating jobs. >> that's a good point. jobs is what's so important here. tony, i want to ask you about this abortion pledge making the rounds. there are some who are suggesting that all of this talk again about some of what used to be called wedge issues is taking a little bit of the focus away from the fact that we have a jobs problem and there are still maybe suspect a clear and easy solution out of the jobs problem and so are things like this abortion pledge that's going around that mitt romney by the way refused to sign, is that taking the eye off the ball or are these legitimate concerns for base voters? >> i don't think the republican will get the nomination if they're not right to life. i agree with romney. i'm not a supporter of him but he took the right position saying i'm not going to sign pledges that waive my right to make appointment as president of the united states. you don't know whether an attorney general or senior

i know who did it, how and why. and by god, when i write that book, i'm going to make sure justice is served. i think that's why people keep coming back to lawyer books in particular because there's a lot of drama in the courtroom. there's always a murder. there's always big stakes. i've written books about death penalty cases. the stakes don't get any bigger than that. and i think it was important to me to have the center of my books a defense attorney who is the kind of guy, the tony serra's of the world, the person you would call if you got into serious trouble. and there are a lot of corrupt lawyers in my books. there are a lot of nasty people in my books. there are a lot of lawyers who are not portrayed in a particularly favorable way. but the centers of my story are two small time criminal defense attorneys who work on michigan street. and if you get accused of a crime, those are the people you want to call. >> that's my approach. and they're both former public defenders, right? >> yes, they are. they are both

happy are we who are called to his supper. lord, aim not worthy to receive you, but only say the words and i shall be here. >>> we ask you if you are catholic and you are going to receive holy communion to please follow the directions of the ushers. if you are not catholic, and you would like to have a blessing, we would like to ask you to come up to the altar and the priest will be happy to give you a blessing. >>> lord, you have come to the seashore, knight searching for the rich nor the wise. desiring only that i should follow. oh, lord, with your eyes upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name. all i longed for i have found by the water. at your side, i will seek -- -- >> lord,, see my my goods, my positions, in my boat you find no power, no wealth. will you accept then my net an labor. oh, lord with your eyes upon me, gently smiling you have spoken my name. all i long for i have found by the water. at your side, i will seek other shores. lord, take my hand and direct them. help me spend myself in seeking the lost. r

the only people who speak the truth are children and people who have had too much to drink. that's called wisdom. you think about it. i am going to share one more thing. i will speak briefly on the concepts of that. if i asked you right now, ladies and gentlemen, how many of you would have considered yourself at risk? could you raise your hands. and there was probably a lot of pain with that, huh. in the book i wrote. i interviewed 60 role models and all of them were at risk astronauts. it made us who we are. i have scars. i have a doctorate, but also scars. wisdom comes from making mistakes. i have made a lot of mistakes ladies and gentlemen. i am going to speak about collaboration. i am going to talk about the role of expectations. i will speak to the value of hope. because when you're in an ugly situation. hope means so much. it's a global concept. in the research i do with resilience of children. close your eyes. bear with me. go ahead and hope them. i am not going to take you through a visiblization. i charge for that. some of you did not close your eyes. you looked at

was the son of grandparents who were sharecroppers, who raised him and he went to yale law school. he did everything right, including allowing for anita hill to rise through the rank0s of the legal profession through jobs with him, where she never had a sexual relationship with him at all. he did nothing untoward, and she was party to this takedown, and i did not understand how it could be that these white people of privilege were attacking this black man who was in this historic position while the main stream media sat -- took him down while the knapp and -- the naacp and the urban league and other black leaders seemed to relish this takedown. >> who was your mentor -- we're going to get to this later -- who was murdered and you didn't know whether to cry or not. it was along that time you started questioning indoctrination. >> the smartest person i ever met was guy named mike. i was delivering pizza in high school. and he was different. he was alternative and was the smartest guy i ever knew. he wasn't the most ethical guy. he took the sats for a bunch of my friends and got them

didn't do anything wrong who are you who are being prosecuted because the regulators are certified about not having done anything before they take a fall guy and vice versa you see traders who you know feel that they're actually trying to make a better system but they're not getting any help i get letters from more traders than anyone else saying disaster awaits this can't go on price discovery is broken ok well in order for all the smart manipulation to go on all this huge volume of trading to happen off the market over the counter and it requires a lot of money to be borrowed from wall street banks to look to agree our c.e.o.'s like lloyd blankfein jamie diamond culpable in committing massive fraud on the futures exchanges i would be very surprised if they don't understand how this works but i think other end of the spectrum. street has been investing very diligently into creating loopholes in this market creating the legal over and. thanks. to do these things it's their best investment amber is to be able to manipulate the financial system and be able to do it legally and that is what

who can wrap -- who can rap, and she found them in a week.ofessionals, and they are great human beings. >> tell us about the characters they are playing. von hayak was from what country? what are the basics he stood for? >> he was born in 1899. he was born in austria, and of spending time in england, where they began to be friends. they were respectful of each other. i have seen the postcards they wrote to each other. they call each other by last name superior -- by last name zeroths. hayek spends time in the united states, so he had an incredible career spanning a huge part of the 20th-century. he was important for a bunch of reasons. "thrown to -- the road to serfdom, is what a lot of people recommend, but he wrote about politics and neuroscience, an incredible and breadth of knowledge, and had an impact in the 1930's and the 1940 costs. he got the nobel prize, and it has a rebirth we are trying to encourage. we think his ideas are very important. >> didn't you graduate from the university of chicago, >> i did. >> did you ever meet him? >>

also honor those who contributed, those who helped her along the way. though she may be the one out front, she is always backed up by good health, and that is what made her and pushed her to be who and what she is. without some of your help, they could have chosen a different name, but i'm glad you chose to honor her in this way because if you had given another plaque and award, she would have just waited until you left and then told me to go put it in the closet with the rest. [laughter] so, of course, she is very thankful. very thankful. let us not forget about those who sacrificed so much on behalf of us. for a lot of them, it is on, you know, their shoulders many of us stand. because we stand on their shoulders, we get benefits, but it is based of somebody else's sacrifice, work, bloodshed, tears, and everything else. so i stand here grateful to be a great grandson of ms. westbrook. may god bless me to be worthy of such. thank you all.

you know who was on your voter registration rules and you know who shows up.ou know what they've sent in a letter or found some reason to have an excuse, and it's not just as now if you get a parking ticket and you don't pay at, a month later you get a notice saying you haven't paid your parking ticket and it works the same way. >> is that different than others? >> what they do in almost all of these it's not true in all the countries and some you have to register to vote but many countries and less than 20% in australia now. what do you do if someone doesn't vote if you have mandatory voting or votive dirty he would have the voter judy like jury duty. could you have a positive incentive for example there is a country which motivate people to vote you can manage the vote in a lottery, national lottery with a small but mathematically sure benefits of winning. you could say only if you vote can you be eligible for public sector jobs. let's exclude any we do in prison before for not voting were not executing people. >> only in texas.

[laughter] i knew what the old money and the new money destinations were by name. i'd never been to any of 'em, but i knew what they were. [laughter] you know, i cracked the code. and this isn't, this isn't unique to milton. this is, you know, going to a new workplace, it's going to a new school, it's figuring out the code, right? um, i think what was, um, incredibly helpful to me and important, um, to me is that there were a couple of teachers who made it a point to help me crack the code. and it was, actually, a very loving gesture. you know, if you're not too defended about that sort of thing, it can be very helpful. but it also puts you, um, it also jeopardizes, you know, your place in that other world. right? i can remember, and i write in the book about being home and trying

who were the people who were arrested? it wasn't the big guys who were smuggling liquor in, the seagram manufactures, et cetera. it was the immigrants, the poor people. it was the working class people in cities all over the country who the law was designed for in the first place because if you go back and look at the history of it, you see the people put forward these proposals didn't specifically with the idea and intention of using it to control the poor, marginalized in the powerless. martin luther king said one of the ways that you know a law is unjust is if it was enacted by the majority to be imposed on the minority. so we need to actually ask ourselves, we're all the white drug users, the ones we see an intervention and making bad and all the other programs that are on tv telling us that white folks are using drugs. how come we don't see them behind bars? why is that? because the goal of drug prohibition was never about controlling the drug use of the majority population. it was always to be about controlling us. an

it is the voice of reasonable, fair minded people, who love this country, who are patriotic, who seeted states as the indispensable nation of this world. [applause] and my voice is one that is part of a much larger movement to take back our country. and i want to take that voice to the white house. it is the voice of constitutional conservatives who want government to do its job and not our job, and what our government to live within its means, not our means, and certainly not our children's means. i am here today in waterloo, iowa to announce -- we can win in 2012, and we will win. [cheers and applause] it may have started small, but our voice is growing louder. our voice is growing stronger, and it is made up of americans from all walks of life, like a three-legged stool. it is made up of strength conservatives, and i am one of those. it is made up of fiscal conservatives, and i am one of those. it is made up of social conservatives, and i am one of those.

isn on obama's own terms, he the one who ordered the surge. there is not the clamor in the country to triple the number of troops. he stated that. in other words, if he chooses us th -- he chooses the strategy of counterinsurgency, meaning a heavy footprint. he chooses it deliberately a year-and-a-half ago and subjects are to all the hard to come and get off their knees -- and cut his own strategy off at the knees to get a withdrawal by september of next year, which makes no sense at all, the middle of of fighting season, withdrawals in july and june, in the middle of the fighting. if you were serious about prevailing, as he implied when he ordered the surge, he would have happened in the winter break that would be after election day, and he needs a demonstration of withdrawal before election day. very cynical choice. >> the idea was to go in there and cripple al qaeda and afghanistan and weaken the taliban and to stabilize pakistan. and we had mission creep. mission creep occurred in december 2009 and went beyond the business of the degrading

there is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire. one more thing, gentlemen, before i quit. thomas jefferson once said that all men are created equal, a phrase which the yankees and the side of the executive branch in washington are fond at hurling at us. there is a tendency in this year of grace, 1935, to use this phrase out of context to satisfy all conditions, the most ridiculous example i can think of is when the people who run our public education promote that stupid and idle along with the industryous. because all men are created equal, educators gravely tell us the children left behind suffer terrible feelings of inadequacy. we all know that all men are not created equal. in the sense some people would have us believe. some people are smarter than others. some have more opportunity because they're born with it. some men make more money than others. some ladies bake better cakes than others. some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of most m

and the people who show up to watch this. and the whole show of people who are there for this. you cannot walk away from this without having been impacted. i want to talk about the war and has said, that these executions have been 7-10 years after the crime and we're not executing the same person. in california, everyone who has been executed has been 20 years after the crime and you are not executing the same person. people do change. from my observation of the victims' family members, and nothing that there is anything that execution can do for them. i think they come there with high hopes that they will somehow feel better, and that they will somehow be able to close this event, and you just -- it just does not happen. these are horrifying crimes. my heart goes out -- out to the victims' families. >> would you say that the instances -- instances of the executions, or any of these meritorious? did you see someone put to death that he thought was innocent? >> not in the cases that i dealt with. the things i oversaw, and guilt or innocence was not a question. in one case, it wa

who's the one who sees clearly? it's not atticus finch. he's not even a very intelligent father. i love him. i love him. but who lets your kids out in the middle of the night wearing -- dressed as farm animals and fruit when there's a craze killer who's vowed to get them? you say, fine, you don't need me to walk you home. you can do it yourself. is that -- is that smart? is that a good dad? bo radley is the one who actually has it straight, right? he knows those kids are going to get into trouble. he's out there and he does something about it. he's the one who gets justice in the book. you know, and so when you really think about it, if you can put through this wonderful vision of the child, if you can stop looking at this problem from a child's point of view, then you'll get a new take on "to kill a mockingbird," i think. you know, one that's much more actually meaningful to you. so -- >> ok. thanks. mary. >> yeah. >> oh, great. we lost you for a minute there. >> i know. >> yeah. so tell us -- how did you choose "to kill a mockingbird" as the subject for your book and for your f

who was brutally arrested for just that was right. we are right. and. we have got the. safe get ready because of freedom. you guys welcome michel ancel on the obama shelf please pardon our guests not to sound the topics now i want to hear audience has gotten you seem to video responses are the twitter profile of the questions that please host on you tube every monday and on thursday the show long response is a. big. for. instance. from. flint. michigan. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for life complete you think you understand it and then he glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture . here's a video that should make everyone pause independent reporters were arrested at the wisconsin state capitol building while they were filming protesters. was. now despite being waved in by the officer on for they telling him that they were with the press the situation seemed to turn for the worse just min

who want. to move. over thirty thousand troops to leave. france now says it's also prepared to pull out all of its forces by the same date military commanders however warned that progress against the taliban is a fragile and gains against the militants could be reversed or lost nearly seventy seventy thousand u.s. troops are said to remain in afghanistan with a complete pullout promised by twenty fourteen the u.s. secretary of state has been seeking to convince congress that obama's strategy is the right approach to winning the war. has more commentary. clinton faced difficult task and that is to justify the billions of u.s. taxpayers dollars on the war that seems to have no and insight and there was a great deal of skepticism among the senators even amid the announced withdrawal of troops in afghanistan so the secretary of state had to focus on podhoretz accomplished and there and she did she mention the killing of key al qaeda members also that as she said the u.s. has broken the taliban momentum although various reports on the ground sug

a conservative is just evil and bigoted and everybody who's conservative who supported president bush wants to kill brown but i'm using everybody is in your language because of competence cruelty and heavy handedness tell me that that's not that's the people in the us because people on the left in hollywood are bigots period they will not hire you if they look on line and they find out that you gave money for example to the prop eight effort now what does that have to do with your ability to write a good show it has nothing to do with it discrimination in any form is wrong in hollywood that's the gay straight left right you should be able to work so conservative shows can make it how to twenty four to be a good. looks he a conservative they absolutely can make it but the people in position to greenlight don't greenlight conservative shows and the people in the positions make shows like twenty four are generally of the left rules are now is an exception to a massive rule ok so if there are so few others and so few conservative shows successful consider service shows and looking at the

people have to say on twitter we heard from solar power who said an informed public is needed to have a democracy internet provide that information most viewers raise that same point but yet you've been disagreed believing the report is a bit over the top he said the internet isn't any more of a human right than television radio going to the movies or having a library card see or dingley said it is not really human right they meaning the un are mixing up the right information with the rights of the internet finally there was adam who felt he had a good way to effect change he said if we use all of the money we spent in libya for i phones hundreds of thousands of people could have access to the web it's a good point adam so this is my take well people and governments around the world will interpret this report in whatever light they want if the u.n. really believes access the internet is a human right that it needs to do more than just write a report we need stronger programs to deliver the internet to people around the world and for stronger penalties against governments who stand in

every single oil company who didn't know what to do in response to this disaster who hadn't planned who hadn't prepared guilty in this disaster. and what the bottom line is that all these companies are to blame and all of them need to be held to account and pay off, bp, transocean, camera, haliburton. we shouldn't be having these operations and that's what we learned after 1969 and it's what we should be learning today. and the obama administration knows this. as peter said. all of them were good on this issue. even when obama was running for office at first he was opposed to offshore drilling and then he was for offshore drilling in the middle of the campaign and the same thing happened to john mccain. the oil industry wants offshore drilling. they want it because they're running out of places to operate and they're willing as i said in the beginning to make that risk and spin those dice and risk the lives of the people in the wild places of the gulf. but we can't let them do that. so one of the amazing ends of this story is that when i started writing this book in the gulf, you couldn

that goes into a whole nother question of who is a journalist. nobody wants to tackle that question. >> you should also visit new terms and talk to journalists about what they do. >> i will try to be quick. i think there is a spectrum of journalism and there are professionals. citizen journalists along the spectrum, but they are all valuable. i was going to say, one of the things you should learn how to do is promote yourself and promote your brand. you can get on tomorrow, you can build clips like no other time in history. you can do that on facebook, your web site. learning how to use your network to promote the thing that you care about, what to write about, is a huge scale that the internet will allow you to do. >> my name is claudia. i worked for pat. my question is for everyone on the panel. -- i work for patch. noting the lack of hispanics on the panel, how do newsrooms address in-language content and sourcing? try to get people in the community, the poor and marginalized, to interact with digital journalism? >> and journalists need to kno

but there are some members of congress who i've spoken to who have spoken to him who say they're not asking him to resign. i think that's an important point to make. but they're also -- they're saying it's up to him. but they're also not coming to his defense publicly or privately. he is also making calls. he called a lot of his cole laelaeg la colleagues to apologize, to make the same statement he made publicly, saying he regrets his behavior. i'm told he also called the former president bill clinton who of course is very close with antho anthony weiner's wife and the clintons have known her for years and years and years. an example of the calls he's making as well. >> it seems to me in the calls congressman weiner is making to colleagues asking for forgiveness, he must also be asking for them to voice some element of support or at least to show this train down that now seems to be hurdling in only one direction. as you just said, that piece the request is clearly not going anywhere. >> you know, i wonder if he is. he must be, you're right. you probably know the idea of this better
