I want to start out again by reminding our friends at home, people at home, that this isnt normal, we shouldnt be here right now. We are in the middle of a pandemic and people are sick. We are in the middle of an election and people are voting. And here we are, stuck in a nomination hearing. I know what my constituents care about, what they have been calling and writing me about. And that is they are afraid of losing their health care in the middle of the pandemic. Peoples lives depend on the Affordable Care act like steve, a senior from minnesota who has a heart condition and relies on his prescription medication. Emily from minneapolis, her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Janet from rochester whose brother has a mental illness. Or christie, a mom from bloomington whose daughter had a tumor.

Nervous and seeking that safety. Now you have the 10 year yield higher. Over the long run, if that continues, that will actually be a headwind. Today you have to take it as a signal investors not wanting havens. , the new yorkand faang complex, the mega cap tech stocks, that is down 1 . That part of the market is still weighing on the s p 500 while you have the financials and the energy and some of the other cyclical sectors doing well. David talk about that faang index. Earlier you said the real story is not the index, it is what is going on with amazon. What is going on with them . Abigail there two day prime event was last week. If you look at the stocks from that event to today, almost in a correction, down nearly 10 from peak to trough. That is not a great sign.
