Thank you so much, everybody. Im going to be relatively brief. I came up here right after the storm. Was on the jersey side. And i had promised to everybody that i was speaking on behalf of the country when i said we are going to be here until the rebuilding is complete. And i meant it. So im going to come back today but im also going to be coming back in the future to make sure that we have followed through on that commitment. I want to thank the outstanding leadership thats been provided by state and local officials. Obviously, Governor Cuomo and mayor bloomberg have done an outstanding job.

Well, today on the eve of holocaust remembrance day, abbas issued a statement decrying the killing of 6 million jews and saying the holocaust was the most heinous crime against humanity in modern history.

It is summertime and the stock market is smoking hot and it needs to cool off or its going to burn up. Today, the dow came 2 points within 17,000, and still jumped 29 points, and set another record. The s p 500 also reached a new record, up 7 10 of a percent, and the nasdaq up just over a percent for a 17 year high. This is not a bad way to start the second half of the year, and check out the 23 jump that the s p 500 has enjoyed in the last year, including a nearly 7 gain so far in 2014. Give credit to americas steadily recovering economy, which includes a stronger job market, decent Consumer Spending and relatively solid corporate profits, and lets not forget those very low Interest Rates and the central bank that have been pumping money into the global economy. This seams like good news for the half of americans who own stocks o
The start of a temporary ceasefire, explosions in gaza city. Israel and hamas agree to a 12hour pause. The Israel Military said it would hold fire but would continue searching for tunnels. Push for a ceasefire is really just an illusion. Both sides are not prepared to stop this war. Dramatic moments as a s. W. A. T. Team stormed a canadian airliner. It appears it was a bomb threat. Heads up heads down the kids were scared. I was scared. Two men carjacked slammed into a group of people killing three children. We are asking for the publics help. We have two males that were seen fleeing the scene. A huge dust storm blew through phoenix during rush hour. This wall of dust was almost 3,000 feet tall. The annual lumberjack championship is being held this weekend. Lumberjack and lumberjills compete in everything from log roll to climbing to sawing. Steven a.

Sanjay, when the White House Coronavirus Task Force Says that we are seeing unrelenting Community Spread in the midwest and the upper midwest, you know, often obviously we know the white house messaging from President Trump is completely different than what the White House Coronavirus Task Force Says, but what does that mean . If, sanjay, you were the head of the White House Coronavirus task force if only. And if President Trump would listen to you if only. What would you do today . First of all, if i had been in a job like that i wish i could have been in a job like that from the start and had people listen from the start because, you know, the patient is a lot sicker now and is going to require a lot more aggressive treatment. Having said that, i think simply sort of relying on this idea that well wait several months for the vaccine to come and we are not going to do any
