And why dont people understand this. Its been a problem for so long. Why is itstill a problem . And i like about your bark bus you have a lot another person stories, people struggling withate, yourself, scientists and i was drawn into the book from page one. Think almost everybody would relate to us. I thought maybe people like to hear what your book sounds like. So if you could read page one and start opened the anecdote. Guest thank you. This is my personal story about how i got a writing this book and the prologue. Its breezy friday even in fall in san diego. Was a biochemistry ph. D student out to din with friends after a full week of research, classes and teaching. I had had a strong interest in biology since grade school, particularly in how the body malfunctions and the we we treat it. The idea that tiny
Group. It is clearly a major regional threat. It has also created an enormous safe haven in syria and iraq and attracted numerous foreign fighters which give it key assets for plotting terrorist acts abroad. While they hay want to carry out attacks in the west, to date, it has not carried out or even attempted a covert terrorist organization outside its theater. Indeed, i think we have to ask a question, is it focused on us . I would submit that right now its focus is not principally on us. Despite the appalling executions of the last two weeks they are consumed by their efforts to tear apart iraq in a sectarian conflict. And to quote the direct i dont have director of nctc from his speech yesterday, at this point in time we have no credible information that isil is planning to attack the United States he added in our view, any threat this is from the sympathizers and foreign fighters, any threat to the u.

Over the past five years the Civil Rights Division has prosecuted over 300 individual officers for misconduct. Orhave opened 20 pattern practice investigations into Police Departments across the country. That is more than twice as many as were opened in the previous five years and enforcing 14 agreements to reform Law Enforcement practices at agencies large and small. With these agreements we have seen dramatic decreases in acceptable uses of force him at witty in the delivery of police service, including port measures and most significantly increased confidence by communities in the Law Enforcement agencies.

Public interest and Genevieve Wood of the heritage foundation. Who should decide whats in your childs lunch . Science or the Food Industry . Tonight, on crossfire. Welcome to crossfire. Im Newt Gingrich on the right. Im Stephanie Cutter on the left. In the crossfire tonight, guests who disagree on what our kids should eat at school. The first lady summed up the argument, i quote, as parents we always put our childrens interests first. Our leaders in washington should do the same. Yes, they should. But they arent. In 2010, at the urging of Michelle Obama, Congress Passed higher nutritional standards for School Lunches. Based on science, if kids eat healthier theyll do better in school. 90 of schools are already doing this, implementing these standards but 10 are dragging their feet.

They are spending too much time trying to prove russian collusion with the Trump Campaign. There is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud. But notice anything substantive missing, like any mention of the word guns . Well, while this president might be hopelessly cooped by the gun lobby, let me tell you what i think about the socalled gun debate. Yes, there is a Mental Health issue. Yes, anyone whether it is in las vegas or newtown or what happened this week in florida that kills many, many people or any people has a Mental Health problem. That is not the problem alone. It is part of the problem. The other part is that they have access to legally get automatic military style weapons. The fact that all over the worl
