there wasn t a marijuana policy in the nba until the 1999 collective bargaining agreement precisely because, you remember 1999 around allen iverson and all these new generation of players that aren t clean cut like jordan. that dove tailed together very smoothly. why the nfl doesn t want a policy on this, using that as a recruiting advantage for free agents. but you have to remember, too, the nfl still is a part of sort of the whole overall sports marketing that does at the end of the day have children at the end of that. there is a reluctance to promote any behavior because kids do look up to athletes. i think part of the renaissance, too. it is interesting so much promotion of alcohol because these are sports at the little league level. there is a fine line for a lot of parents and that is considered the wholesome sport. stick with me because the notion of children at the end of the line and the issue also dave brought up about pain i want to come back to you, mason, as soon
the businesses still haven t gotten their money for the rebuild. so i think there is a big difference. it also was during the course of the gubernatorial campaign, you know, when he was running ads, campaign ads, that were very similar in the sense that they were saying that he should be reelected because of what he did with the sandy efforts. so they kind of dove tailed with his campaign efforts. you know, it s always struck me when looking at the chris christie record as pertaining hurricane sandy. it s been a triumph of atmospherics over substance. the atmospherics of him meeting with president obama a few days before the election, him being out there in the shore, him attending to people that had been so devastated, him talking about the smirt spirit of sandy, it has been powerful, it seems to me, persistent questions of how the massive amount of federal aid money has been alocated in your state frankly, i don t feel we have a very good
your place exactly. we played the wrong sound bite. but the importance of that sound bite is the prosecution is trying to establish inconsistencies in george zimmerman s story. there had been reports of zimmerman trying to get out of the vehicle to check a building number. why is that so important? what an interesting witness. because osterman is the prosecution s witness but he s been in law enforcement for a number of years. you watch him. he may have had a little trouble with the sweating, which i guess you can forgive. otherwise, law enforcement, police officers, people in law enforcement are trained testifiers. you can see that when he s testifying. he turns and talks to the jury and he talks about how what zimmerman did dove tailed right in nicely with police practise. he s validating zimmerman. and the point you wanted to make earlier is that he said that he was the one who told zimmerman to get a gun. why is that so crucial? baultz i think for many people watching this
realized again, upon becoming the president, that you have to put people somewhere, terrorists somewhere and nobody wants them in their back yard and unable to fulfill that. and that dove-tailed with what eric holder want today do, bring the worst of the worst guys master-minded these, blue them to new york city, where they flew into buildings and they did not happen. and there was outcry from democrats, and mr. president and thought the president could go better on unemployment. go below 8%, 7.9%, but still listed as a fail because a lot of times, and most of the first three and a half years, four years, it was over 8% and it was as high as 10. steve: remember, the reason
in terms of the list of stuff that you were being sent, i know enough about paul ryan s history to know he makes comments that are sort of like this, sort of along the lines about makers and takers, the vision of an america that s a zero sum game between those giving and taking. e do you feel like these are the most newsworthy because you see that as a parallel to what romney was saying about 47% of the country? it s dove tailed with what romney said. romney set the stage for him. on the timeline, romney made his comments about six months after paul ryan did. he also in some of the clips we were sent talks about medicare and how he s arguing what we re doing is privatizing medicare. he s saying get behind me. this is what we re trying to do. we either have that up now or will soon. but i thought this one was the
