king jr. coming up, why the silence? the questions about how the president responded to the situation in hawaii, and how he s contributed to the tension in that part of the pacific. there are two types of people in the world. those who fear the future. and those who embrace it. the future is for the unafraid. all because of you i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke as far as i used to. due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter where i ride, i go for my best. so if there s something better than warfarin, i ll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding
wake-up call for a lot of people in america, and i think there s going to be a lot of efforts under way after this. not only are you going see congressional hearings, but the cdc is going to be working with local and state governments to make sure that everyone is adequately prepared for something like this if it were to happen. and kevin, what s your take? do you think hawaii was prepared for this? i think that they were as prepared as they could be. but i mean if they re government officials and authorities are giving them false information about a nuclear bomb attack, people need to lose their jobs over this. i mean, the anger, i think, for an entire island that they should feel, i mean these are americans who literally thought they were living out the last days of their life for 38 minutes. i mean let s put this in perspective here. what if that happened in the mainland, so to speak, at a city, i mean, what would that have caused to traffic? what would that have caused to peopl
