Agreeable to most of the parties at the table. But its not a killer number. The wall street journal and others are saying that what the government is doing is a witch hunt. Theyre shaking down jpmorgan. Theres no doubt that there was wrongdoing. They wouldnt be at the table negotiating if there was no wrongdoing. And its just a matter of what price each party is willing to pay or receive. So, a shakedown to me would seem that jpmorgan was innocent of any of the accusations. And we know that not to be true because of what has come out in the private litigation, because of what weve seen in the courts so far. Defenders of jpmorgan and of jamie dimon will say there were no criminal cases because there were no crimes. These guys were bending the rules just a little bit. Thats the way the game goes. Eric holder in fact has said that. You know, their behavior was amoral, their behavior as ugly, you know, but perhaps it wasnt criminal. Well, i dont know about you, bill, but i dont really have
I wouldve quit earlier possibly hoping to get away with the whole thing. Easy for me to say. Of course, not nice for my children to hear, if i say i would do all that they can do you. The truth is it would be hypocritical to say no, i would never touch the stuff if i had known. Because i did know. Everyone knows. The soviet union and the soviet system in Eastern Europe contains the seeds of its own destruction. Many of the problems that we saw at the end begin at the very beginning. I spoke already about the attempt to control all institutions and control all parts of the economy and political life and social life. One of the problems is that when you do that come when you try to control everything, then you create opposition and potential dissidents everywhere. It to all artists they have to paint the same way and one artist says i dont want to pay that way, i want to thank another way, you just made them into a political dissident. If you want to fuss about housing in this country, a
If you missed any of our q a conversation with the David Mccullough or you would like to watch it again, we will reair the interview today at 6 p. M. Eastern here on cspan2. Heres a great read to add to some retailers, cspans latest book sundays at eight, collection of stories from some of the most influential people over the past 25 years. I always knew that theres a risk in the bohemian i decided to take it because whether its an illusion or not, i dont think it is, it helped my concentration. It stop me being bored, stop of the people being bored to some extent. It would keep me awake, make the evening to go on longer, to prolong the conversation, to enhance the moment. If i was asked would i do it again, the answer is probably yes. I wouldve quit earlier possible in order to get away with the whole thing. Easy for me to say. Not very nice for my children to hear, sounds irresponsible if i sasaid i would do all that began to you. The truth is it would be hypocritical of me to say no

Start. We just finished a vote which i just did, and im sure that well be joined by others of our colleagues for this very important hearing. Today this subcommittee is focused on safety, particularly as it relates to trucks on our nations roads and highways. This issue is something that i have cared about deeply throughout my career, and i appreciate senator blunts commitment as well. I know he has been very, very focused on issues relating to safety. There may be some issues that divide us, but there is so much more that we have in common x be thats why were having this hearing, thats why were joined by witnesses who are really experts on this topic from across a wide spectrum. The administration, safety advocacy, Law Enforcement and the industry, the Trucking Industry and the men and women who drive trucks. Im eager to hear their testimony and decide what we can do to reduce the fatalities and the injuries on our roads. There have been a lot of headlines lately, and youve probably s
