Groups inside syria from these three countries. I mentioned a lot of it is money being raised through social media, charities. A lot of times its kind of a complex situation where you have money thats being raised, allegedly or essentially for human train operations and then gets used for military purposes. So i think having a president chairing this Security Council meeting tomorrow, it will up the pressure on these countries to cut off the flow of money and funding to the Islamic State. And if you dont get in line, you know, you could potentially get targeted yourself. Not military but sanctions have always been a tool used is used to try to force countries banks, individuals not to provide money to terrorist organizations. I think that would be a big part of his speech, kind of outlining the conflict and how the financial element of it, the foreign fighter element of it, the ideology. Theres been a lot of diplomacy led by secretary kerry and others over the past few months to get th
Wellversed on. It doesnt occur to me that i have heard much or seen much in terms of complaints on that issue. That one i would have to get back to you on. Joel, do you have something to say about Medicare Advantage . You mentioned it before. I think, again, the Medicare Advantage standards are set for a particular population group, the elderly. To import them directly into the Broader Market place i think would probably not be the best solution. I would certainly look at some of the principles that are there. I think the rubber meets the road for your group where you earn your pay is should there be quantification and if we are going to have it everybody that does it starts with time and distance kinds of rules. Thats going to be and there are those in the Medicare Advantage standards. Do we need those or some kind of National Forum . I certainly will be skeptical of doing that at this point. But that is where the rubber will meet the road in the discussion. The Medicare Advantage exa
Pennsylvania governors debate. Here is a look at that race. Lets try the philadelphia debate. Mr. Fitzgerald, good morning. Good morning, pedro, how are you . Looks good. Could you not only set up this debate but where the two candidates stand as far as this race is concerned . First debate tomorrow finds the incumbent, a really need to have something happen to reset this race. He has been the underdog almost from the beginning, which has been a huge surprise in a state that historically has reelected its incumbent governors overwhelmingly. It has been a staple race. Wolfe is up by 17 percentage points. There was a new poll out this. Orning 52 among 31 of likely voters. Half of the respondents who are voting for wolf say they were motivated by dissatisfaction with corbett. It is somewhat of a mystery but substantively it comes back to education. When he took over in 2011 after , because the were cutsan out there to Education Funding from the state. The governor cut some state money and
The democrat gazette said the attacks on mike ross are not true and a smear on his family business. There was never a Justice Department investigation and the House Ethics Committee approved the sale, so why is hutchinson attacking rosss family for building a small town business into a success . To cover up the fact that he got caught cheating on his taxes an the fact hutchinson is a d. C. Lobbyist who has a record of putting arkansass millionaires before the middle class. For our schools the choice for governor, theres Asa Hutchinson. He opposed mike rosss plan to expand prek. I think its the wrong direction. But mike ross says education must be a priority. A focus on career Tech Training and college opportunities. Under mikes plan, i know my kids would have what it takes to get ahead. Mike ross has a reputation i can trust. Asa e you seen this hutchinson reported a mistake himself on his taxes. E paid his bill. Indiscernible] fortunately arkansas knows better. Its a 16 billion indust
Less. Bottom line up front. Okay . There in the back. Theres microphone so we can all hear you. Thank you. My quick question really here is comments on lebanon and how its impacting this current fight. Nobody seems to talk about it much. Nigel i know just did an article about drone usage by hezbollah, which i thought was interesting. Oh, lebanon. Okay. Yeah. Well, there is a small contingent of militants inside of lebanon who have made some noise for many years, but there are not a lot of them. The number of them particularly down south have been coopted by the government. Ere were fears early on that a lot of this contingent was going to be activated by the war in syria. In fact, the whole society was going to go down the tubes. That is still a worry and the longer that the war goes on the more that worry increases. But i have been really surprised at lebanons resiliency, actually, whether you attribute that to actors we dont like, like hezbollah keeping a lid on things, or whether yo
