Going to stand up. As long as youre standing, im going to stand. And then i sign everybodys book, i try to talk to you a little bit. So i want it to be personal. I want you to know that im a real person. Im your average, everyday guy, and if you want, ill come around the table, and ill take a picture with you. And i love meeting the kids. They bring me pictures and drawings that theyve done. Its nice. Host language alert, heres a little bit from chris kyles american sniper. This is the subchapter, dont tell my mom. Host next call is sean in oak choke, florida. Youre on with chris kyle. Caller hey, chris, i was an army scout in iraq and kuwait. Being down here in florida, i did have the honor the last muster down in florida where they dedicated the udtc memorial, and that was very touching, very moving, and it was great to be able to see a lot of the seal guys that get out and do it every day. Your comment on seeing the flag and seeing, you know, the national anthem, starspangled banner, we were at a toby keith concert, and when he played american soldier, that just every hair on my body stood up. My wife looked over, and i had a tear in my eye. They just dont get it unless youve been there, done that. Ive got a 17, 18yearold kid, and whats your advice to the next generation of kids that want to join the military and train in special op combatants or, you know, maybe not even special op combatant, but just join the military and support their country . Thanks. Host chris kyle. Guest well, thank you for your service. I appreciate it. As far as the kids, you know, ive got two kids myself, and im never going to push em towards the military, and im never going to push em away because one great thing, the military, it is a volunteer force. And if youre going to be there, i want it to be because you want it. And youre going to understand that honor that goes into serving your country. As far as preparing them, i mean, they need to know that when you sign up to go into the military, theres a very high likelihood especially now youre going to go to war. So just prepare yourself that you may be called upon by your country to put your life on the line and possibly give your life for everybody elses safety here. And a lot of people are saying, well, they dont understand why theyre fighting over there, and thats fine. Just you dont even listen to the people who are coming out against the war because what they need to be doing is protesting congress. Or protest the president. All these politicians. But leave the military guys alone. Theyre out there doing a job. Its an extremely honorable job. And youre going to have some of the best moments of your life, youre going to have a brotherhood, and youll never lose contact with those people. They will be your family. But youre going to have some of the worst moments of your life. Its going to be your extreme ups and your extreme lows. So just be prepared. Host matt, yakima, washington. Go ahead with your question or comment. Caller hi, chris. Thank you so much for taking so much time and talking with us and speaking today. Thanks for your service, thanks for your sacrifice, time away from your family and everything youve done. For the story, i cant wait to read your book. And for your advice that youre giving just with what we can do for really our neighbors, our family members that are coming back not just a is simple, hey, thanks for the service, but, you know, what can we do for you. Can you go more into that . And did you see act of valor . Did you like that . Guest i did see act of valor. I do like it. I watched it one time, it was a i dont know what they called it, but they gave us a special showing of it, and it was all us military guys in there. And it was definitely emotional. A lot of those different things. I was involved with because each of those missions were true missions. But it definitely hurt to watch it, and the next time i watch it, it will be in my own home with no one else around. As far as giving back to the guys and showing your thanks, its simple little things, you know . If they own their house or, you know, if they have a house that has a yard or something, go mow their yard for em. Cook em something whether its a meal or cookies, you know, come over and ask if, hey, do you need this chore done or that chore, whatever. Its just simple little things, and it will take some of your time, you know, depending on what you want to do, it could take five minutes or all day long. It depends on how much you want to do. But these guys are out this willing to die for you. I feel like now its our duty to give back to them and to make sure that they know that we appreciate everything that theyre doing. Because i dont think most of the public fully understands and grasps what these men and women are willing to do for our safety and security. Theyre willing to the die for us. People that they dont even know and people theyll never meet, but theyre willing to die for us. So the least we can do is take some time out of our days. And everybodys day, i know, is extremely busy. But its not going to do anything but make you feel better inside because now weve been doing these retreats for these guys, taking em out hunting, fishing, doing doesnt things with them just to get them out and say, look, i love you, thank you, this is what im going to do for you. So lets go do this. And theres other organizations out there. You know, one of them ive been involved with is called fitco. Fitco cares hero project. When i got out, i started drinking a lot, and then i got way out of shape, i refused to work out, and i was depressed. So i started working out again finally, started getting back into shape, and when i did that, my head cleared up. So when i did that, i went to this guy, and i said, hey, this helped me. Do you have some old equipment or something cheap that i can buy to help put in these vets ooh homes . Because these vets, if they were like me, when youre out of shape, you dont want to go to a gym and then people look at you and go, oh, you used to be that . Whatever. And then you feel bad about yourself or these guys that are coming back injured, they dont want to go to a gym and people stare at em. So this guy turned this thing into a huge organization, a nonprofit now to where were taking brand new, expensive equipment and putting it in these guys and girls homes so they can feel better within. But then its also, has private trainers if you want it. It has therapists if you need it. Were not only just trying to get the body back, were trying to help you in everything. Because ptsd is nothing to be frowned on. These guys, theyre still a part of the society. They gave to us. They can still be trusted. I mean, its nothing to be looked down on. We need to help them. We owe it to em. Host chris kyle writes host debbie in denver, youre on with american sniper chris kyle. Caller hi, chris. First of all, thank you for serving, and i just want to say that i come from a long line of military family as well, and i remember my dad and my brother both served in vietnam at the same time. And my mother was a tough cookie, boy, she just was real tough and thick skinned. And i remember as a child that we werent allowed to ask or question either of them about the combat or the kills or anything like that. So now my son is a combat veteran, and he served he was in iraq in the second year of the war. But when he came home, he was torn and suffered a lot, and he was injured, and i remembered that old, you know, that old thing that you dont question, you dont talk about it. So whats your thought on that . Because i really wanted to reach out to my son, but i just was instilled with that boundary of you just dont cross. Host chris kyle. Guest well, as far as the not talking to him about it, you know, i think a lot of these guys that are having problems, you know, i think ptsd is something that no matter how much you talk about it, i dont think ptsd is going to go away. Its something that youre going to have to learn to live with and work around, but it is definitely something controllable and something that could be put to the back of your mind. Have a hard time talking about. The only thing you do is be there for them. If they want to talk. Let them talk. Let them tell you whatever. And no matter how bad or shocking it may be, im here for you. Give them your undying support and let them know im here forte you. No matter what you have seen or done, im here for you. Sve because you served for me, and now im going serve you. And as far as the a rest of youa family, thank you sonk much for everything your family has done and im really sorry that your son has gone through and made ad such sacrifices heres the book. Select the 12, the autobiography of the most lethal flight carrying u. S. Military history. We have been talking with the os onehour discussion. If you could take your seats. [inaudible conversations] my name is lionel barber, im the editor of the Financial Times. Im here to chair this discussion. We have four distinguished political leaders from europe, who will be talking about resilient dynamism in europe, european economy, and the eurozone. Im going to start with Prime Minister mario monty. If you look at the panel, we have a real rich tapestry. We have big countries, we have smaller countries. I did not say small. We have debted countries and credited countries. We have countries in the eurozone and outside the eurozone. So that theyll talk about their own distinct National Perspective in the european economy. So Prime Minister monty, i think it was the Financial Times that a year ago said that two people needed to save europe and the eurozone. They both were called mario. Do tell us last year we felt as though europe and the eurozone on the edge. This year some confidence has come back, the big story is where is the growth going to come from . So it will be interesting to hear your perspective on how you see what you have accomplished over the last year as Prime Minister, and what you see in the year ahead including those elections. Yes, there are elections i understand in at least two large European Countries this year. Well, what are we doing to achieve growth . I think each of us has to do things domestically and concerning italy what we have been doing inspite or maybe helped by the pressure of financial emergency has been to begin injecting more competition and openness in the markets. This is something that is totally in line with the e. U. Inspiration of social market economy, and we are lead by, first of all securing the sustainability of Public Finances in the longterm, including a pension reform, and also looking at the de facto for growth. Infrastructures, long delayed in italy, we have simplified the process of building infrastructures and injected in acceleration on those. Then the functioning of the markets and that we have introduced more competition for example, in the leader of professions, like to call themselves but many pressures to become liberal. And in the separation between Gas Production and gas distribution, to give you another example. All in the shopping hours and the commerce sector. Also a lot of significant indication concerning of course this needs to be continued and one issue about the italian elections in which i will not go unless here today is which political configuration is more in line with the need to sustain these structures. But i believe that not even the largest countries can really keep a momento for growth or resume a momento for growth unless the e. U. Policies are more oriented toward dwrowt. And much of the time and energy in this year of Italian Government has been devoted precisely to that. And we have been among the pushing facto at the table of the european counsel including adoption for the fact for growth, and also with the daily insistence on the Single Market being taken more seriously. We all know that europe is based on the Single Market, but we also know, as Prime Minister cameron, i heard just say there isnt really Single Market for energy for many of the services for the Digital Services in europe. And finally, we insist with some success in the recent european counsel to have a more forwardlooking understanding in europe of the role of the good Public Investment particular for the interconnections for the infrastructure, investment, and this is something that we should also take in to account in our view, when we move in a couple of weeks to, i hope, the negotiations on the e. U. Budget. In the last 12 months, we have come back to the market. Can you tell us a little bit more about the structural economic reforms. Particularly repairing the banking system, which i feel is the exemption of growth. Yes, two years ago when the administration was elected, it actually lasted 250,000 jobs for the two years prior to that. Reputation is in shreds around the world. Our banks are dysfunctional. There is a complete sense of hopelessness and despair and disillusionment. Now, gordon was elected with a very keen mind. We have a strategy and a plan that works. The banks are being recapitalize and restructured and have been back in the market as this Program Began in 2013. There are doubledigit figures and our people have had to take really serious challenges. His government made really serious decisions or if it is an example of the Government Works and understands the patience of people, putting up with these changes in the greater picture of things. Now, we expect to do better. But we cannot do without the collaboration of the committee of the colleagues in order to do that in 2013, and example of the bigger, European Union issue. I would like to say it is important in terms of different countries. There is an example of the analysis. The finishing part of that particular situation. Moving on to the supervisors and banking unit. Because the smallest countries, as you say, we were required to 64 billion as 30 of our gdp to pay for banks. In a situation that has been crushing on the people. It has actually factored in with the situation in a lot of we have contact and that is why in this presidency, we want to run this effectively in the interests of all the countries. That is why i would like to see the issues of trade and japan, singapore, canada, all of those associations and i think those are real opportunities. Part of this all is here that our leaders, 26 Million People unemployed in the European Union, millions of young people who do not see their careers as decisions made by politicians. That is the central issue. People have to see and follow through the decisions that are made. That is an issue that all of us need to consider in the interest of all of the citizens. If we can continue for the seven years and i hope that you will go to the parliament and discuss that again. They are required to give their authorization and follow through the decisions and make them happen. That is what politics is about. [applause] thank you very much for that. You rightly said that it is an incredible result of 6030 in favor of this, given what is going on. Would you like to give mr. Cameron some advice on our . We have had referendums over the last 30 years. Lisbon and was then an amsterdam, people in our country understand the difference between the council of the commission and the parliament. They understand all of these things. We have made our decision clearly in the the future of the eurozone and era. Our biggest trading partner is European Union. Britain can remain part of that. But i would argue that many of the issues that arise by politicians, from a bureaucracy or administrative point of view, these are things you can change from the inside. That is why i would like to see the digital market become truly singlet. I dont speak for the British Government, but whatever happens, i would like to see you that this would remain central to the European Union and its future. Its very important that we have a sense for most of the big opportunities arise. Would be very interesting to talk more about this. Im interested in the degree to which you have a margin of maneuver as a smaller country within this big block. Thank you. Well, first of all, i think this whole christ is the we have been through, and we are not through yet. Those who are unemployed, we are not through the crisis yet. This wakeup call should be used in a good way so that it will be a way of taking us through to the other side. This is what we would be learning at the european level, in order to maintain the europe that we want. We woke up one we had the crisis. We realize that we lost what we thought was so good about europe. What we need to do in the coming days is to restore all of that. We need to change in a structural way to maintain what we like so much about europe. At the same time, keeping very clear in our heads what makes europe special. What makes it special is that we have a social market economy and we have focused on environment and climate issues. We will also try to make a good basis of that. And all of the other things that make europe special. What we need to do is to change what we feel is our core values. We need to do this come as, as i have tried to do back home in denmark. We have done three things. First of all, we have kept an extremely tight budget. We have adopted a budget legislation and we can no longer exceed our budget from here on turn yeartoyear. All of this means that we have a very low Interest Rate in denmark, we have become a safe haven. A tight budget is important. The second thing is to be on a reform friendly. We have performed so much the last year that i dont think it has any comparison in our history. We have performed early retirement, and we have now reformed the benefit system. We are trying to reform the education system. We have been on a big frenzy. There then come i feel that this is important. We have tried to bring balance into our budget. At the same time, having a focus on the groups in our society who are most vulnerable. What does that mean . That means that every year we have made sure that the most horrible citizen and something got out of the budget. So we have tried to preserve the quality, which is always a part of the European Values as such. The three things, tight budget control, and also being focused on pres
