I went seven years ago my wife and i bought a new house and sold their existing house. We went to a title agency. They had about 1000 documents laid out. Initial here, sign here, sacrifice a chicken over here and that we were done. It took one hour for us to sell our property, by new property, one step, 150 steps, 14 years, one hour, one step and desotos point is if you cant prove you own it you dont own it. It is absolutely true that a piece of paper is not a final guaranteed against the government taking your land or your property or whatever but it is a guarantee. It is one more step that someone has to overcome. Its one more impediment to government taking what you have. What desoto concluded and what we believe is a private Property Rights are essential but that they have to be guaranteed with titles and deeds. Those are the four pillars of american exceptionalism and i think why the late 20th century you can say that really only england and america have all four of those in engla
Government do things with respect to security, peace process, sinai, and other issues of national consequence to us. On the middle east peace saudi arabia has been a critical partner. Just yesterday we reaffirmed the saudi commitment, the saudi commitment to its own initiative a very Significant Initiative and i praised prince sauds description of the, of his vision and the saudi vision for the peace that waits for israel providing we can move the process which they are committed to and very much a part of that we can move that forward. They are a partner in that effort through their role in the arab league as well as their authorship of the arab peace initiative. In addition we both share, saudi arabia and the United States share with almost every other country in the region deep concern about Irans Nuclear program. And its impact on the region. And we had a very frank conversation yesterday about that and i think they understand exactly what the United States is engaged in and i reaf
30 years, may not be from russias strength, but weakness. That, i think, should inform serious policy thinking about russia and our approach to it. We know that the reset of relations, that the Obama Administration attempted to ork state with moscow in the last four years is, well, not as healthy as it could be, i would say today; right . The reset has been a failure. We know now that the white house is at least beginning to think about what comes next. What this is intended to do is to give them a little bit of food for thought about where russia is headed because knowing where russias heading is determinative to figuring out what our policy towards it should be, so, thank you, guys, ill stop there. [applause] well take questions, be kind to wait for the microphone to be passed to you, and state your name and affiliation if you care to as a curtesy to the guest, and im going to take the prerogative of reading one of the questions we received online, and ill change it a little bit. How
Do they believe the United States would help them if the Russian Military got out of control or this yiewn phobia got out of control and would impact troops . Two excellent questions. Two probably rather uninformative answers. We got a choice. Its a tricky one. I dont know what the answer is. Do we continue to support the prodemocracy people who, to put it mildly, have not been successful so far, but or, do we try to engage with the people who have murdered some of them and locked many of the other ones up in order to save independence . In five years time, there may not be a bell ruse. The people are trying discreet. It was interesting, no softy when it comes to russia, and no softer with democracy. Hes received the Russian Ambassador at the Foreign Ministry many a very formal way to say poe land land is ready to talk. Now, those talks become substantial, but something has to happen. Were not demanding immediate dispatch on the coast or even a full independence inquiry, but perhaps le
Year. Number one, child pornography. Number two, the sex slave trade passing through San Francisco. And obviously, number three, my number one project, the controversial death of a dead gay man who used to work at San Francisco general in 1999, and so far nobody, and i mean nobody, is willing to even discuss his death. I guess when youre gay and you have no voice, then youre expendable. Its kind of interesting that the city of San Francisco has been bypassed by the state of washington in regards to gay and related activities. So maybe thats a sign to San Francisco that maybe the curse of joe is beginning to take its toll. The last thing i would like to say is that there was an article in the west portal monthly in the front page and there were two things that werent mentioned. The first one was that room 200 was very well represented. That wasnt mentioned. And in my opinion, the other thing that wasnt mentioned was laguna honda hospital. Thank you. Mr. President , supervisors, my names
