Them i had some of the sections of the book that really stood out, i understood why this is an important book and i think a lot of people will, particularly conservatives, begin to appreciate the struggle is an over and the fight isnt done. We have a lot more fight in it but weve got to put ourselves fully into the game. And to enjoy it and be happy about it and grateful that were in the position of leadership. Reagan talked about the happy warrior and this is the manuscript for the happy warrior. It has been a real joy and pleasure to sit down with you and be with you again and to share with everyone this book. The conservative heart. Thank you. Youre happy warrior and have been an inspiration to me. You got a my friend. Good luck on the book.

We also found that nearly 33 companies and people have been blacklisted in the u. S. For various serious crimes. Also we were able to do business offshore with Mossack Fonseca, they were clients for a long time. We look at the role of big banks, and how more than 500 banks, specifically in this leak, how they had helped 15,000 offshore companies through Mossack Fonseca, in many cases helping clients around the orld avoid paying taxes. One of most surprising findings, the politicians. You imagine that billionaires and maybe celebrities, they had these offshore companies for rivacy issues or tax issues, but to find nearly 200 oliticians, and 16 World Leaders, in this data, using the tax havens, including some World Leaders who have been at the forefront against tax havens. That was really interesting. We created a whole application to look at this important issue. Reaction and impact, you remember the viral media. In iceland, where the Prime Minister testified a few days after publicatio
Terabytes of data, the newspaper needed help and called in the journalism troops. With such a large number of people going to the database, they needed to agree on a common strategy for collaboration and for parsing out the research, as well as the joint process of holding off until everyone was ready. This is something foreign to american media. We are not used to co honoring editors. We will talk about some of the work and the findings. It is sponsored by the journalism institute, the nonprofit arm of the National Press club. Left elcome, from i im sorry. From my right, will fitzgibbon, a reporter from the National Consortium.

Fonseca, oneffett of the worlds top shell companies, with 2. 6 terabytes of data. The newspaper needed help and called in the journalism troops. With such a large number of people trolling through the database, the partners needed to agree on a common strategy for collaboration, and for parsing out the research, as well as a joint promise on holding off on publishing until everyone was ready. This is something a bit foreign to the american media. We are not used to collaborating on investigations with competitors. Today, i am honored to welcome some of the participants in the Panama Papers, to talk about their work and findings. Our forum is sponsored by the npc journalism institute, the nonprofit arm of the National Press club. Please welcome, these reporters. Thank you for this invitation. Yes, we are
