And good monday morning. Happy caucus day. Chuck todd in des moines, iowa. Thank you to all of the folks joining us here at java joes and everyone at home as well. Today is all about Closing Arguments, here on the campaign trail in iowa and in the president s impeachment trial in washington. While much of the intrigue is gone from the impeachment trial with the senate poised to acquit the president , it is the exact opposite in iowa where this race still feels wide open to a point, and the buzz is pretty incredible. Saw multiple candidates draw huge crowds in the last few days. Top six candidates had 43 separate events saturday and sunday, making their Closing Arguments to iowa caucus goers. Heres some of what the candidates have had to say. Tomorrow night is the beginning. It is the beginning of the end for donald trump. It is no longer talking about how to win, its proving that we can do it, and that starts with you. You let only a certain bunch of us out of the gate, we dont all get
Gather, this is, i think, what winning feels like. [ cheers ] ill be damned if im going to stand by and lose my country, too. Period. [ applause ] not going to let it happen we have one job in november. Beat donald trump.

And i will warn you, this is a little dark. It is a little stark. But given that she wrote this basically hours after election night, it also feels oddly prescient just a few years down the road now. So heres the alternate concession speech for Hillary Clinton as imagined by masha gessen. It starts, thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you. We have lost. We have lost, and this is the last day of my political career. So i will say what must be said. We are standing at the edge of the abyss. Our political system, our society, our country itself are in greeter danger than at any time in the last century and a half. The president elect has made his intentions clear, and it would be immoral to pretend otherwise. We must band together right now to defend the laws, the institutio institutions, and the ideals on which our country is based. Thats not what Hillary Clinton said on election night. But the week of the 2016 election journalist masha gessen, who had spent most of her life in russi
Insurance companies are completely different. U. S. Insurance Companies Hold about 5 trillion dollars in assets today. In the feds proposed rule on capital standards, the rule is by Bank Regulators which makes sense for banks but they also apply to insurance companies. And insurance and banking are very different as i know you agree. Strong capital standards, they are important. But they must be appropriate for a Business Model they apply to.

At the same time, of course, we have statutory constraints, the collins amendment, for example, that say a certain amount of capital is necessary, but weve also heard from congress about this insurance banking distinction, and were looking at it very seriously. We have been consulting i should say with the stat
