it was interesting to listen to debbie wasserman schultz. she talks about the perfect not being the enemy of the good. then we have this overheated rhetoric. the thing to do is to do these universal background checks. it's recognized by the supreme court as a reasonable restriction on the second amendment, people would go for it but some people want to continue to have the issue. mike thompson, democrat from california, recently said you know, one of the reasons we're having trouble getting conservative democrats is because of the overheated rhetoric from the left. so this is not rocket science. you have to do the doable. what's doable this week in the senate and the house are universal background checks. >> okay. kelly ann, it seems to me imminently sensible. why wouldn't there just be unanimity on a universal background check? >> you're presuming there are background checks that will work. everybody wants universal background checks that will work. >> do you? >> of course. the ones we currently have in place have been woefully, painfully e

(applause) >> and in april of 1996, my last year as secretary of defense, i met one morning intelligence briefing at 7 o'clock along with general charlie. the previous day general hughes had briefed us that the chinese military were to begin extensive military maneuvers in the taiwan strait. this morning we were stunned to learn that they had fired two missiles that landed just 10 miles off the coast of taiwan. the taiwanese had a presidential election underway, and the chinese were using a not too subtle way of explaining to them what they wanted the outcome of that election to be. thises was an unacceptable form of military coercion and both the general and i agreed that a strong response was needed by the united states, something more than a diplomatic letter of protest. after some discussion we agreed to send two carrier battle groups to taiwan. within an hour the president had approved our recommendation

last week when howard schultz gave his overview, he said he thought europe was bottoming. colgate indicated the same. there are many companies including technology companies that would indicate things are getting worse. there are also auto companies that say it could be getting much worse, although i still think gm might do a good number. but the ceos of are not pie in the sky guys. they're very smart people who know what their order book looks like and have all been very accurate at forecasting. hence why their companies have been able to navigate this treacherous period so well. their view dovetails with the banks' earnings and we're seeing, yes, remember in 2009, the bank here in this country bottomed before all other stocks so maybe the same thing is going on in europe. could that finally be a carry on the continent? if that's the case, if europe is bottoming, then eaton and ppg, could be huge buys here. because companies have taken out tremendous costs in europe not willing to wait for revenue to turn. if the revenues do turn, earnings would be magnificent. a turn in
