Hillary clinton. Got rumors of two potential deals swirling this morning. Chemicals and tobacco in the spot light. Well put a dose of reality on both. Apple mac users being targeted by hackers with ransomeware and how the company is handling that problem. The dow coming off its third consecutive week of gains closing above 17,000 for the first time in two months. S p just shy of 2,000 friday, closed at 1999. 99 as china said it would target Economic Growth between 6. 5 and 7 . Some talk in china about cpi targets around 3. We know thats more a political chan nick thing. Exactly. One thing that happens out of china, we believe everything they say. Our country can say these things. They say theyre just making stuff up. Target, 6. 5 to 7 , and we believe them. The coal stocks go up. Steel stocks go up. Iron ore. Will you give me a break . Were in an era of where a lot of the stretched names whether its valet or cliffs natural or u. S. Steel, or a seadrill are going up. Its like the froth
As a tourist, as a former resident of washington, d. C. And a resident of other parts of the United States, and its just such an honor and a pleasure to be here as a speaker and to talk about my book pivotal tuesdays. Im also so pleased that you all exhibited this interest in a such an obscure subject that no one seems to pay any attention to, president ial elections. Why cant we get the papers to write about president ial candidates, i dont know. But more seriously, were more than a year away from election day. 2016. Or maybe less than a year now, arent we . But we have already seen some remarkable moments emerge in this election cycle. We have had a huge celebrity who put the political establishment on the run, a whole slew of outsider candidates on both the right and the left ends of the political spectrum.

Because the reality is that when the war games occurred in classified settings, they would just shoot those damn things off and destroy humanity. Those god damn things off and destroy humanity. Thats not necessarily reflected in sort of techno porn books like clancy does, which are basically feel good things that sort of america wins. The ba
And had much stronger views about what should be done than and he thought that taft was just a little too much of a status quo guy. Yeah. Yes . Sometimes people think of the word pivotal as synonymous for the phrase turning point. Uhhuh. I was a little surprised you didnt mention that starting in 1932, democrats had a plurality or a majority in seven of the next nine president ial campaigns. Yeah. Starting in 1968, republicans had a plurality or a majority in five of the next six president ial campaigns. Uhhuh. And starting in 1992 democrats again had plurality or majority in five of the next six president ial campaigns. But thats not my question. My question really is, my question really is, is there something about substantial third Party Candidacies that exemplify pivotal election and should we expect this coming election will be pivotal only if there is a substantial thirdparty candidacy and probably not otherwise .
