>> may be richard first and then we will go to steve. >> one of the ways activists with these types of goals try to make their influence so is with these sort of relationships that go outward. there's been plenty of activist demands that accompany and only do business with certain suppliers so often times it even comes with the colleague that would say you made a point about the activist demand you don't turn a crocodile into a vegetarian. when you appease people making these demand you go back and you are proving you've already been willing to compromise. so a company will say yes we will adopt the amendment, but that then the same activist will come back and say you forced all of your suppliers, what about their suppliers and everything on the second, third, fourth quarters if they think that any of these suggestions are reasonable [inaudible] if they are trying to have it both ways and pay lip service to something that they don't really believe in it's only going to create more negative publicity going forward. >> is that the case if you have apple or nike or any apparel company if

cooper who is an obama appointee, richard barnett, although you may not like who he voted for, still has rights. and so, barnett was finally released from jail thanks to the judge. but that is not unusual. barnett was one of more than 36 protesters on january 6th who have been held in solitary confinement in a d.c. jail for months now. this is so disproportionate, especially considering people who raped others and committed gun crimes. they actually said something about it. "solitary confinement is cruel and psychologically damaging" said elizabeth warren. elizabeth warren. thank you, elizabeth warren. you may be wrong on everything but you are right on that and bless you for saying that. in a functioning democracy, every member of the democratic party will be saying the exact same thing. republicans would be saying it too peer where are the republicans by the way customer what does mitch mcconnell do for a living? they have been silent about this egregious abuse of human rights. in a functional democracy that cared about justice, there would be demands for the immediate release of e

you may remember barnett left a note on nancy pelosi's desk calling the speaker of the house a bitch. but his attorney just floated a unique argument for why he should be released, saying that in the note he left for the speaker, he called her a "biatch," not a bitch. hold on a second. what does that matter? he wasn't charged with "potty mouth." "your honor, we freely admit my client, mr. dahmer, ate those people, but in his defense, i will point out, he did start with a salad fork." now, technically, he didn't call her either of those things, because in the actual note he called her a "biatd," as his attorney explained in their court filing: "instead of writing the accusatory 'you bitch,' as the government falsely states, it only says 'biatd.' and without the word 'you,' the 'd' was meant to be two letters, 'c' and 'h,' with the 'c' connected to an 'h,' to spell the word 'biatch' who knows what is true at this point. one thing is for sure: these lawyers are charging by the hour. their brief went on to say, "'c' makes the same sound as a 'k,' except in this case, because it's followed

wonderful strangeness that was richard nixon. kennedy came out in the press about cuba in the previous statement. he suggested that the eisenhower administration was being negligent about castro and really should help anti-castro cubans take up arms against castro. this was exactly what the eisenhower administration was trying to do. when nixon saw this in the newspapers, he was outraged. somebody in the cia, he thought, must have told kennedy about the cia's plan and now kennedy was claiming this as his own idea when, in fact, he, richard nixon, had been pushing this operation for months. it was a covert operation and had to let kennedy pretend it was the whole idea. it's probably who wha he should have done but not what he did. in the fourth debate, he lashed out denouncing it as irresponsible and foolish. he gave a long thoughtful argument why he thought a covert military operation against the castro regime was a terrible idea, dangerously irresponsible, as he said in the debate. nixon later explained that this was very painfu
