two other major league, former major league baseball players have died in car accidents in the dominican republic since the year 2000, that makes a total of four. in 2015 the world health organization says the d.r. has the highest traffic accident death rate in americas at 29.3 out of every 100,000 inhabitants. eric: and, of course, the marlins ace, jose fernandez, was killed in that horrible boat crash in miami bay. rob, thank you. arthel? well, president trump i just wanted to really say that i love you, i respect you, there s nobody i respect more. you re going to do a fantastic job, and we re going to start winning again. arthel: president trump paying a visit to cia headquarters yesterday, vowing to stand behind the agency. it comes just days after tense remarks between mr. trump and former cia director john brennan. the president suggesting brennan had something to do with the
night. okay, adam, thank you,. k eric coming up, the story behind melania s inaugural dress, it could have come to an off-the-rack store near you. be. to folks out there whose diabetic nerve pain. shoots and burns its way into your day, i hear you. to everyone with this pain that makes ordinary tasks extraordinarily painful, i hear you. make sure your doctor hears you too! i hear you because i was there when my dad suffered with diabetic nerve pain. if you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain
grant exemptions from or delay the implementation of any provisional requirement of the act that would impose a fiscal burden on any state or a cost, fee, tax penalty or regulatory burden on individuals, families, health care providers, health insurers, patients. that sounds just by that executive order. right. and that s, again, the language is general, but that suggests to me that the white house is going to be paying specific attention to each of its agencies that are involved with this and trying to make sure that to whatever extent they can, whether it be not enforcing certain provisions or something else, that they re going to do that. again, to sort of ease the burden on people. i think there was a clear message in this though. president trump wanted to sign this as literally, i think, the third document that he signed as president in order to send a message that the promise that he made that he would repeal obamacare is already underway. eric: at the same time, the congressio
by saying that the individual mandate may not be enforced anymore. i think that would go a long way towards beginning the process of untangling a law which ultimately really delivered in many ways the government to the republican party. this goes back to the tea party in 2010 and the midterms there and the beginning of the process for the rerepublicans to take the house and senate and ultimately the presidency. so much of it was wrapped up in obamacare, and its individual mandate is a forcing mechanism by the government that compels people to engage in the health insurance market. and it s not hard to see why the trump administration is eager to get rid of the individual mandate as a first step in getting rid entirely of obamacare. eric: yeah, you know, in terms of that first step, can what the president sign actually do that right mow? let me read you some of what that executive the order says. it s that washington gobbledygook. to quote: minimize the unwarranted and economic regulato
here, and so that s what residents here are dealing with, those who did not lose loved ones have a lot of property damage to deal with. but we re told that neighbors are helping neighbors pick up the pieces, and state and federal officials are promising whatever support they can give to help these hard-hit communities rebuild. eric: eric it s amazing when you see the concrete just ripped off by the power of the wind, and certainly it s a miracle and amazing that the death toll isn t higher. jonathan, thank you. arthel: well, meanwhile, president trump taking steps to smooth things over with the cia after a war of words with the agency s last director. we ll talk to a former cia officer about the next person in line for the job. eric: and a jetblue flight, well, it was forced to land unexpected hi in florida. what happened unexpectedly in florida. what happened? a passenger found a handwritten note onboard. we ll have the latest on all that.
