it's about a person bho -- who has $14,000 income versus someone who has 16,000 over expanded medi-cal. another way is there is no asset or resource limit which is a huge change. under traditional medi-cal you can only $16,000 over expanded medi-cal. another way is there is no asset or resource limit which is a huge change. under traditional medi-cal you can only have a $2,000 asset or resource limit which keeps the person below the poverty line all the time because they can never go over 2,000. on the expanded there is no limit. for the expanded medi-cal there is no link. before you had to be over 65 or disabled or maybe a link of a parent of a child. that is no longer required. in fact, the plan applies to individuals 19-64. anyone over is not eligible for the expansion program. neither are ones who are already in a traditional medi-cal benefit program. so that really totally opens up the world of medi-cal to a very large numbers of people who were previously uninsured. primarily it's for the working poor or people with disabilities that would have resources and assets and would make

e white women who hid the runaway, and who were the white women who turned her away? all of that knits us together. my mother was putting me very early on the path to studying racism. she remembers when i was a toddler sitting on the front steps with me explaining why the trash collectors were black. and i became very involved in looking at these issues from a young age because i have a short story i wrote in second grade on martin luther king and the language of slavery. it's always a -- i was a very unusual little kid, but that story's there. and in that story i was able to relate the struggle for black identity with my own understanding of having a i jewish identity. when you start a conversation with a kid, it will flower. but a lot of people believe you have to delay those conversations until, you know, you're in college. a lot of people don't go to college. so this is why we have to get women's studies, black history, everything into high schools and middle schools. by the way, m. carrie thomas is the person who founded bryn mawr. it came to me in the synapse ju

we were the ones who went and asked the president to raise it for people who get federal contracts and the president made that order. wie happy the president did that. but we are going to continue to push this in every way possible so that people can live comfortably in the middle class and those who aspire to can get into the middle class. mr. speaker, with that, i would like to yield back the remainder of my time and i thank you for allowing the progressive caucus to have this time this evening. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2013rks the chair recognizes the gentleman from colorado, mr. polis, for 30 minutes. mr. polis: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. speaker, we are here today as part of the new dem coalition, the new democratic coalition immigration task force, which i'm proud to co-chair along with my colleagues, representative garcia and representative castro. i'm here to discuss immigration reform. and what the path forward is. for an issue that over 70% of the american people agree, an issue that right now thr

who may face tea party people who are way over to their right.forced them to do this. what is on his mind? he seems to want to run for president. has it occurred to him that he might enjoy the help of his senate colleagues if he at least played ball with them? >> i think he is van ackerman, the bad guy. not unlike the wrath they let loose on john boehner earlier this week, right wing activist groups there were quick to pounce on mcconnell himself. brent bozell said, quote, americans deserve better than fake leaders who deliver fake promises and deliver zero results. it's time to dump. quote, between the grassroots frustration with mitch mcconnell and with john boehner, it's the perfect storm. and conservative blogger wrote that republicans had abdicated their responsibility. mitch mcconnell was the deciding vote in the senate to move forward. john boehner, eric cantor and how gop leaders structured this deal in the house. primaries matter. until you defeat these guys you will do nothing to change washington. so they want to go crazy. here is my q

who's nicole? the only person named nicole who's previously been subpoenaed in conjunction with this manner worked on the governor's re-election campaign. in terms of tracing the cover-up, if the guy getting high fives for his cover story performance is getting them from someone on the governor's re-election campaign, that's really interesting, why would the governor's re-election campaign be in on this? but maybe there's an alternate explanation. now a second person named nicole has been subpoenaed in conjunction with this matter, and the investigators seem to believe she was in on at least that one meeting that they think may have happened between the guy who gave the false testimony and the lawyer who prepped him for that testimony and the governor's new chief of staff. if this instead is the nicole who bill baroni and david wildstein were text messaging about right after the attempted cover-up story to the legislature, he was getting his high fives for good job delivering the cover story, not f

her representation as a person who was a family woman who talked very adamantly about her kids and who presented a certain kind of main stream -- i think it was intended as an opposition to the qualities that people feared about hillary clinton or other feminists candidates. i think any woman who wants to run should run. when a woman is empowered to make policy and is not necessarily supportive of women's reproductive rights, i get anxious. i was not a supporter of palin. obviously at the time, the big question around the country was if you support women's rights why wouldn't you support any woman running? because by the time you're voting, i think there's a difference between a female candidate and a feminist candidate. i remain a staunch feminist. >> host: if you can't get through on the phoneline. you e-mail booktv@c-span.org. you can make a comment on twitter@booktv or make a comment on facebook.com/c-span. cc from portland, oregon. hi? >> caller: hi. i'm interested in your thoughts about black feminism. i'm concerned about the turn of women's history that oftentimes, for me, is co

as well as students who are getting ready for the community college who are already taking, instead of the traditional high school to four-year institution, who are going through the community college to transfer, until they get to the four-year institutions. >> you and i have talked about this before. filling out an application for college is intimidating in itself. the financial aid application is also be intimidating. but that's where y'all come in. you give workshops and you make sure that any parent, any student needs help in filling out these long forms that can be complicated at times, you're there to make sure that it eases the process. >> yes. so during this period, january 1st through march 2nd, which is a critical deadline we are focusing on helping students and families submit and complete the application. there are various forms of aid that are available to students from low-income backgrounds who have need. like the cal grant program. as well as for students who are undocumented who also are just as needy in terms of financial support to make it through college. you ca

he a muslim who was once an evan evangelical christian. >> when a muslim who starts to write about jesus, all of a sudden the knives comes out. >> the life and times of jesus of nazareth. >>> reza aslan. pleasure to have you. >> thank you for having me. >> look at the conversation you started with this book, "zealot", the life and times of jesus of nazareth. the jesus that so many of us came to know through the bible through pastors was also the jesus of your youth. >> that's right. yeah, when i was 15 years old, i heard the gospel story for the first time. it was a transformative story for me. i didn't grow up with much religious teaching. when we came to the united states to iran, we scrubbed our history, the 1980s was not a time to be of iran ian origin. i was deeply spiritual kid. didn't have much instruction. but maybe what it had to could with childhood images of revolutionary iran, the way in which i experienced in a deep and profound way the way that religion has a power to transform a society for good and for bad. i think that really seared itself in my subconscious because i ha

don't pay taxes people who are who are or who always don't pay income taxes because pretty much everybody pays some kind of taxes you buy a snickers bar you pay in taxes sales taxes but the people who don't pay income taxes in your mind should not be entitled to vote. i think you hit the nail right on the head and i want to go on the record as saying i disagree with mr perkins i don't think your wealth should determine how many votes you of as that would undermine the integrity of our system what i take issue with is the fact that you have individuals who do not contribute into our system have equal say where i live here in preditions new york city you had a mare who pandered to this this weakness and the promise of something for nothing is very enticing and these individuals went out in mass to get something that maybe they'll receive maybe they won't so you don't see your try and tell me david that because of our low minimum wage laws the bottom forty percent of american workers who are working on the forty fifty sixty hours a week work on their as a nine and a kid so a little money tha

folks who are very, very sick and folks who have been here awhile. that was what the chronic plan attempted to do from just focusing on the chronically homeless and look at the 6300 who are in our system, or more, we don't necessarily have that much of a targeted approach. we do -- barbara might talk about the acutity index we like to use at time. hsa got away from [speaker not understood]. i think it's worth a discussion sort of around prioritization around resource he. should a woman -- she has needs, we want to help everyone who has needs. someone who is here from ohio six months jump into really coveted affordable housing in the city maybe for someone who all their life got moved out in the bayview, and i think it's worth a discussion. >> supportive housing, again, we use supportive housing well. when i say we, i don't mean the city alone. all our nonprofit providers, [speaker not understood]. they do a fantastic job, they do a good job providing quality housing, housing, and keeping folks housed. we wanted to get as many people as shelter as pos

, who are hard-working, who had minimum wage jobs their whole lives, who paid social security. think about living on $889 a month in the city of san francisco needing to buy medication, one meal a day, hopefully, and health care. if we could provide health care early on we might prevent (inaudible) and people would be less likely to end up in the emergency room with a drastic outcome. we could actually provide prevention and health care to people who had no other way of getting health care, those without insurance, it might be more cost effectivehub. >> hi, i'm jean yes my name is jean and sometimes, people call me sir, girl. san francisco has served our sewer system and it's no square feet it's a matter of time. that's why we're planning major upgrades public health depends on it that. see how this important work is done. i was fascinated by it. we're going to creek. i would recycle you to come up and see the sewer system in minnesota that's why we see this through the plant. a lot of people don't realize how much work sgo goes into cleaning the water were. we offer free servi

who are you fighting for? who are you fighting for? >> maria, my mother. >> and you, who are you fighting for? >> my friends. >> your friends. who are you fighting for? >> my mom and my father. >> these protestors told us that under obama, immigration reform has so far meant more miles of border fence, more border patrol agents, and more deportations: nearly 400,000 a year. >> and that number, 400,000 isn't completely arbitrary. in 2009, congress mandated that ice fill 34,000 beds in detention centers every day. and that's the quota driving record deportations. >> arizona democratic congressman raul grijalva says the pace of deportations is a political strategy. >> i think there was a belief once that if we were really hard on the issue of enforcement that that would bring the more conservative members, republicans, of congress around because they would see that you're being strong on security therefore we can do family unification, path to legalization. unfortunately, that strategy of being tough, hasn't real

who's white who's in the kkk. it's really appalling. but aside from that, asian-americans sometimes don't even stand up and speak out for themselves. there's no asian-american jesse jackson or al sharpton. and you might not like the strategies or styles of those two leaders, but you can bet anywhere in the united states, someone does something that's bad, that shows bias or prejudice toward african-americans, one of those two or someone else who's local will be boycotting, marching, will be on tv, will be given the opportunity to be on tv, will raise a fuss until something is done about that. asian-americans, what is our response? we just kind of smile and laugh nervously and blame ourselves and consent to it. and part of my message is, look, if -- if we just smile at people who are abusing us, they're going to think it's ok and just continue to do it. you know, wake up, stand up for yourself. c-span: where are your parents now? >> guest: my parents did something that -- that surprised me. i had no idea this would

who was the first, who were the unknown candidates.istina love summers has been very critical of women's studies, and a lot of her books are very hostile to the field. i'm happy to talk back to that viewpoint. i think that the field is both academically viable, scholarly -- sound in a scholarly way. there's very mixed stereotypes about women's studies. one is that we're all, you know, like axe-wielding, castrating man-haters. that's a very harsh image. and and then there's the opposite which is we're tree-hugging, you know, nothing really goes on in the classroom, it's all airy fairy and so on. wrong, wrong, wrong. what's startling to my students is just like anything else, you can flunk this material. do the readings, take the it'ses, turn the work in -- the tests, turn the work in on time or watch your grade go down the tube, and isn't that a wake-up call? so people enrolled thinking this is, you know, an easy class or i just have to agree with the professor and i'll get an a or, oh, we're all going to sit in a circle and give each o

it's a tension between people who are trying to extend and expand democracy and people who want to keep the benefits of democracy to only their group. and you know the country will go in that direction in which the most active people are pulling it. and we dare not let the people who operate on the basis of fear, operate on a basis of scarcity, operate on the basis of me, and mine and us i dared not stop pulling on those people who care today. we have got to always be pulling my country 'tis of thee in the direction of sweet land of liberty for all. so it's a tension and you'd get what you are willing to give in terms of energy and resources to the struggle for making this a more perfect union. i do believe erica has -- america has great things to offer to the world. you can't practice islam and if any freer in america. in europe and switzerland they passed a law that are a key component to the essential house of worship. they are known to be associated with a muslim house of worship and i don't agree with work is that in america they don't hand them but in france they banned them. they

recruits who do. in terms of attrition, 61% of our teachers complete a third year in the classroom. a third of all of the teachers since 1990 are still in classrooms today. so i don't think it is a waste of money. >> so kamika, the former research director of tsa is not reliable, because only about 15% of the teachers are in grades or subjects that are subjected to standardized testing. so how do we know if the program is worth or money or really helping students? >> well, whether or not the data was reliable, i wouldn't want to rely solely on standardized test scores to determine teacher's levels. what i thought was effective and what i thought was helping students when i was 21 years old is very different now, 15 years later, with the experiences that i have had, so is it worth the money? i think that's a hard question to answer, and i think it has a lot to do with different regions around the country, for how the money is use. maurice spoke about bi-lingual placements. and that may be a concern in

wildstein who has resigned? is it possible that phil kwon was involved? if he wasn't involved in preparing this false story that was told to the legislature, this cover story for what happened on that bridge that is still unexplained, if that's not what phil kwon was doing, what else was he doing with bill baroni in the reported four to five days of preparation ahead of that testimony? if phil kwon was involved as deputy general counsel at the port authority, does that mean there was wider involvement at the port authority in coming up with the cover story to obscure what happened on that bridge? why was he the specific lawyer involved? this very, very close ally of governor christie? as far as we know, phil kwon has not received subpoena to turn over documents or testify either about the shutdown of lanes on the bridge or effort to cover it up by concocting this big traffic study idea. governor christie, himself, last night confirmed that his office has been subpoenaed nod only by the state legislature but by h

these are people who don't have a lot of montana but who still want the -- a lot of money but who still want the peace of mind that comes with good health insurance. those seniors are now facing much higher costs or lower benefits because of the obama administration decisions rolled out last friday night. because of this proposal and the administration's way to try to sneak it out on friday, seniors are concerned and they're anxious about what the administration also is hiding. you know, ever since the president and democrats in congress passed their health care law, they've been going after seniors who rely on medicare. they raided a total of $700 billion in medicare, and we discussed that during the debate over the health care law. the money was taken from seniors on medicare, not to strengthen medicare, not to secure the future of medicare, but to start a whole, new government program for other people. a whole new bureaucracy and it's been created by washington democrats in the health care law. obamacare specifically targeted the medicare advantage program. significant amounts of dir

people who have stood in the way of progress, people who have gone to d.c.the party line. you know, i say also in the video at one point, you know, i like to believe that everybody goes to congress because they want to do so good. and of course, i have ideological differences with people. and may not see that their way is the way that i would do it, but i want to believe that everybody goes and does the right thing, you know? and is doing it for the right reasons at least. but when you see what's happened in this district and so many other districts around the country, where people have gone to d.c. and they've just lined up behind the people in their party, lined up behind the leader, taken votes, cast votes in order to get leadership positions for themselves. it's days heartening. it's frustrating. i think the entire country is tired tired of this kind of dysfunction in washington. it bothered me to the point where i said i need to stop doing what i'm doing for me and give a voice for some of these people who are not being heard. >> clay, we are now meetin

there are far too many veterans, particularly post-9/11 vepts, who have not -- vets, who have not been able to get jobs and are experiencing so many of the fortunate consequences of being out of the work force. that's why i filed amendments to this bill that will create new tax incentives for businesses to hire veterans, that would make it more affordable and easier for veteran-owned small businesses to participate in small business administration loan programs. and i've also filed amendments to address the backlog at the board of veteran appeals, one of the really unfortunate situations that we have for our veterans. we have veterans in new hampshire who have been waiting up to four years to have their appeals heard before the board. and finally, madam president, another member -- amendment that i filed to the bill is in memory of my friend, charley morgan. charley was a member of the new hampshire national guard, the 197th fires brigade. after the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," she became one of the first service members in the country to come forward and talk about the challenge

in other words, doing interviews with people who were there, who were part of the story, who were onlookers, and who can in their own words to describe that. all history has imperfections but it is a substitute. one substitute for the written record. >> i just can't imagine a 130 word twitter message having the same import as woodrow wilson's love letters to his wife. >> there is no substitute for that. we saw a glimpse into the love stories when the reagan letters i love you, ronnie was published and all those letters that ronald reagan wrote to nancy. >> would that be your top love story? >> my top one is the relationship between ellen arthur and chester arthur. she died before he was president, even before he was ice president. of course, president garfield dies and president arthur comes into the white house and has a beautiful picture of his wife in a silver frame visible in the white house with fresh flowers around it every day. i think the most stunning thing to me and anyone who visits washington and goes to st. john's church and sees it. a stained-glass window in honor of ellen art

who doesn't want a guy who owns his own truth, who says hey, this is who i am, love me or hate me, bute type of guy who you want because i exhibit courage in every aspect of my life? >> dave, how far behind the fan base is the management of the nfl on this? >> well, we can speak about this not with conjecture but with actual numbers. there was a poll taken that said -- this was a couple of years ago, and of course there's been a world of change in the last couple of years. that 86% of fans would have no problem whatsoever rooting for a member of the lgbt community if they were on the field of their favorite team. you've also heard from a lot of owners today, thank goodness, after the anonymous general managers who said they would welcome the opportunity to assess michael sam's potential as an nfl player. also terrific supporting words from the nfl players association. but the fans are there. i think a lot of the players are there too. one of the most discouraging things about this panoply of anonymous gms is the fact they all off-loaded their bigotry onto the players. they all said var

are staying home aren't people who can't find a job or are disabled but some of these are people who say, i could work, but the gains to working are so little because of the expanded safety net and that can really have a negative effect on the economy and on individuals. >> we should say, let's take that example and turn it around. right? in terms of the kind of gender roles you're talking about in the family you're talking about. there are maybe women who are home and want to work, right? but because of the way the subsidies are structured, it doesn't quite cash out to make sense because they're going to give out the subsidies. that is precisely the thing at the arnmargins i said wasn't so right wing attack job so everyone's clear. i agree, that's a real question. one thing that's gotten a little lost in this, we're talking about an economy that has about 135 million full-time jobs. so the employment effects here, we're talking about 2 million jobs, they're real. but this isn't some wholesale change in the way people are going to make labor decisions. i mean, we should just be clear

and who hated prohibition. i suspect many of you are aware of this, but prohibition was not the product of right-wing cranks, it was the product of progress iism. it was a way -- progressivism. it was a way of preserving people's paychecks. and progressivism was a movement of social uplift. it wasn't just about dollars and cents and reducing bossism, it was about uplifting america. the new deal breaks with all of that. the new deal begins one of roosevelt's first acts is to repeal prohibition which briefly sets roosevelt and mencken off on the right foot. [laughter] mencken was a great, a great drinker of german beer. the best short summary of what liberalism is came from the once-canonical literary historian vernon pennington. just for my knowledge, how many people today know who vernon pairington is. one, two, three, four -- very few. he was once, he was once a very widely-known figure, and i suspect those of you raising your hand are historians. anyone who's not a hitstorian? raise your hand, i'm just curiou

it was, according to the biography of christie jeff michaels who was the one who got to tell christieight 2009 that he'd won the race. when jeff michaels appeared on a public tv show after that 2009 election, he was asked if he was close to the governor. >> i've known him for a long time. we went to high school. our families knew each other from livingston. and just stayed in close contact with him over the years and was very pleased to help his campaign out with policy. >> close ties to the governor have caused jeff ma ed michaels are soar. the news site launched by david wildstein years ago that i used to work for, that jeff michaels even wrote a periodic column for, that site, politickernj.com, the first year christie was governor. according to their write-up, quote, the former chief of staff to donald defrancesco. michaels, who grew up in livingston has close ties to governor chris christie, through his partner norcross, the power broker george norcross iii. the firm is called optimist partners and that connection is key. as was meticulously documented, christie has cultivated unu

so now we come to who did this. who recruited this team, who gave them their marching orders. who let it all happen once he saw the ft. lee mayor was getting his punishment. governor christie's defense is that he didn't get out there on the bridge himself. let's listen. >> i worked the cones, actually, matt. unbeknownst to everybody, i was actually the guy out there. i was in overalls and a hat. but i actually was the guy working the cones out there. you really are not serious with that question. >> sarcasm isn't much of a defense, it is, now that we know the whole escapade came directly from the governor's office. the police that did put the cones over the four days were part of the politics. that they personally were telling drivers to deliver the dreaded message, that the men charged with protecting lives on the george washington bridge were the director deliverance of the caper. are you frustrated? are you? just how ticked off are you? tell me more. you've got time. you're going to be sitting here another four hours. who is supervising this mayhem? it turns out it's david

who is this professor?t the textbook and the fact that we were required to read it. >> does the professor stand up to it. >> she does not. i'm the only person to speak out about this. which is another thing that concerned me, if i wasn't in this class, would these kids really be buying it? that's the scariest part about it. and the part about demonizing wealthy people, it was something that really really got my gears grinding, because it literally made no sense to say that wealthy people like to have a class of poor people so they can look down upon them? i mean, literally makes no logical sense. >> let me ask you this, the university has come out and said, we are happy that our teacher has offered this textbook that has gotten debates started. we're pleased to see the classes inspire lively conversation, our faculty are free to select texts for their courses. they would have us believe there's nothing wrong with this, it inspires debate. >> i this it goes to the hostile environment i was talking about earl

in my particular case, those who have made it should essentially reach down and pull up those who areted enough to actually -- who belong in those rooms. i think that's just -- i'm not sure that is something that is happening as often as it needs to. but that's where it starts. somebody has to take the risk, and those that haven't done it is again up to us to make that happen. >> i'm going to go off of this community tweet . . . how do we get the, quote unquote, ethnic talent to bum rush the show and become a gate keeper? >> i think we have to -- i think ruth is right. we do need to get people into the writing rooms, we need to get people into those places of decision making so that we can start to change this more. it does start, i think, communities have to support us, because i think there is no dearth of content or brilliant minds out there to create the content. we do need to do that. but at the same time, the communities, people can help by funding these projects by making sure that -- that -- i'm sorry -- >> we have about five, ten seconds left here. so i'm going to stop you th

might -- who has a -- there's plenty of people who oppose divorce and have a sincere belief that itabsolutely wrong, marriage is for life, they made a vow. they don't want to do business with someone who's divorce. as loaning as that belief is sincere and not a minor interaction you have to have with that person. i would argue loaning money to that person is not a technical interaction, under your law, it certainly is something that could be -- go to the courts about. >> i don't believe so, sir. >> you know, all of the pillars of society are under attack in the united states. the family, the traditional family, traditional marriage, main line churches, the boy scouts, you name it. >> so no florist in arizona is going to be forced to participate in a gay wedding because you don't have gay weddings in arizona and you're not going to any time soon. under arizona law, it's okay to discriminate against a gay person and refuse them service already. that's two reasons why no person of faith is going to be forced to interact with a gay person at their wedding, it's not going to happen in ar

who is responsible for this danger in the new cold war on russian borders? who is responsible? the american press, washington, the whole media, except you guys, the whole media said putin is responsible s put inis a devil. >> that's not what happened p in november, when all of this began and the protesters came on the streets in kiev and protested the president of kiev, democratically elected, not a good guy but elected would not sign the agreement with the eu. what does putin say? why does ukraine have to choose? why can't we work out a deal where russia and europe help ukraine out of the crisis. >> but -- >> wait a minute. wait a minute. >> it's important that he wants to keep it in the russia sphere. >> this is something nobody wants to hear. putin said, don't make it either/or. we will join europe in helping ukraine, and europe and washington said no, ukraine has to choose between us and russia. >> that's the question we have got to ponder. why did we say no? >> there shouldn't be a zero sum game. >> you do have a russian president who is saying that the collapse of the sov

that's who.an't thank him and his great producers enough for all those great times on the "tonight show." jimmy fallon, go out there and break a leg. you have a tough act to follow. and a great human being. that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "all in with chris hayes" starts right now. some of the people who outmaneuvered the clinton staff. >> christie spent a full hour last night in a radio q&a and answered questions about the traffic jam engineered by some or someone in his administration. in the 2 1/2 weeks since dawn zimmer accused the governor's

lobby and even i who i was saying well listen i'm glad you brought up senator pat roberts who has served with in the house because the story i just read over the weekend then this brings makes my point of manchurian candidates the candidate that i guess you're backing posted autopsy photographs on some website or internet news making jokes about wounds and dead people now that is not funny first of all and one day what we want that person to be the republican standard bearer going into the fall no matter where past roberts lives. there are a number here and there are no way larry the saying is a does matter where pat roberts lives he should live in his state he absolutely should listen as neighbors to business they know they leave things amy kramer and stephen love to read a fascinating discussion that will not and who will keep covering it thanks to my views of the two and a half stages of both the i want to hear from you to join the conversation on my facebook page share your thoughts on twitter by tweeting me at king's things and using the public to this day that's all for this week's

and there were students who knew. because this victim told him but he asked them to not say anything. i find that problematic that they didn't say anything. because their silence led to this, this abuse continuing. so that's a concern about, what's the thinking? what's the mentality? what's the moral obligation that students have? >> so once the school did find out, and they found out because his parents entered his dorm room and saw the confederate flag and said, what's going on here? that's when it all became public. this week a fact finder came out with his independent investigations, basically saying the university acted swiftly and properly. in that they did everything from moving the harassment suspects away from the student and then eventually suspended them. what do you think of the school's response and what is your task force going to do now as a result of that? >> the school's response, i have two different observations on it. one is that as consistent with what the fact finder found, there are rules and po

is was protecting the child who has who's questioning himself that who might be you you know you know who's supporting them while he's there because they're being told by their government that they are that they are wrong and that there's something wrong with them and also the other thing that's also disturbing that's coming out of russia is that their people are equal aiding homosexuality with pedophilia now if you do your research pedophilia and home of homosexuality are two separate issues i mean they aren't even near you know each other i actually agree with most of what you say i think the only correction i would make is that it is not people in russia who are equating homosexuality with be the feely it's actually people in the west who are seeing some of the videos coming some of the disturbing videos coming out of russia who are equating to feel about homosexuality because there are a number of vigilante groups here in russia who try to set up paedophiles seeking actively seeking out dates with minors and they're presented as attacks on homosexuals speech is simply a straight o
