Good morning. I am Erik Schatzker. This is Market Makers. I am alix steel, in for stephanie ruhle. Happy friday, but it will be a busy weekend. Not a happy friday for many around the world. U. S. Has carried out its first airstrike in iraq. It is where a team of american diplomats is based. This is after president obama said he was authorizing potential strikes and a humanitarian mission to save thousands of iraqis stuck on top of a mountain. White house correspondent Phil Mattingly has the latest from washington. The distinction between offensive and defensive strategy from the white house. This is offensive, it really is, alix. What you saw last night, what the president authorized, the humanitarian aid to those stranded on the mountain. This is an escalation. We note here leo fighters dropped 500 pound bombs on an artillery piece. In a sense, basically, alix, it was defensive, defending the kurdish fighters on the ground, but it is the u. S. Clearly going on offense to stem the tide

First of all if you dont have the whole system they cannot struggle against corruption. For corruption unique institutions. Without institutions you cannot have corruption. Thats why when i said before, we need bold roadmap which we can propose or elaborate, we live with ukrainians, ma not without. But we can help them political, economic, social, including corruption, big joke for ma
Stable lead. I would say organized labor is doing much more effectively in michigan. I would put a finger on the scale for democrats in michigan, and finally, jeanne shaheen, there are some conflicting calls with most showing her head by half a dozen points. There may be some closure there, but i still think she has a measurable advantage. If republicans need one, it needs to be iowa or colorado. If they simply get republican states voting republican, they dont need to win any swing states, or, if they lose both, they need to win two out of the purple or green categories. Ive put it at 60 . Stu rothenberg hes sticking with his prediction of seven seats. One last thing and then we will bring up neil and stan. Sometimes, people ask me why the heck do we need to listen to charlie cook or his team . Why do we need to listen to them or stu rothenberg and his terrific colleague if weve got nate silver and New York Times and these other models that are out there. My analogy is the money ball
