board? good morning and happy fourth of july. to all of my americans. my message on that school board was listening to all children in this country can make it and be successful if we instill in them the values and american values, hard work turf achievement, self responsibility. isn t the greatest country in the world so we know that children who look like me and all children can thrive if they work hard to do so. carley: alex, you are a air force veteran and a poll found that 39% of americans say they are truly concerned about what is taught in public schools and 34% say they are very concerned. what do you think schools should be focused on? we should be focused on getting back to the basics in education and teaching kids how to think and not what to think. we need to think them to teach them to think critically and take care of others.
government is still closed. their position is let s reopen the government and then talk about border security if that is the way you want to go. here is how the two democratic leaders described that, for of the conversation when they came out of this meeting with the president. we have agreed to continue the conversations, but we all we recognize on the democratic side that we really cannot resolve this until we open up government. and we made that very clear to the president. the bottom line is very simple. we made a apply to tplea to the once again, don t hold millions of americans, hundreds of thousand of workers hostage. open up the government and let s continue the discussions. so i guess part of the issue here is that it does not seem from listening to those two sides the president on one side and pelosi and schumer, that we re close to something that leads to an agreement. it seems that they are both dug in on very separate positions
it s clear the democrats took out of this message that the americans elected them in large part because they expect them to protect their pre-existing conditions and health care. the question that will also be on us, which is what did the republicans take out of this election relative to health care? will they keep this fight and a wedge issue for democrats going in 2020, or will they learn that what the american people said actually should tell them that it s time to change course. that s one of the morimportant things we ll have to see over the next few months. that was the most popular, the most important issue to americans in the last election. andy, good to talk to you. andy slavitt, the former acting admin astronautistrato administrator. the closing bell is about to ring. look at that. a 7 and it s green to the upside. more than 3.25% gain for the dow. i ll talk about it on the other side. ne.
