Crisis in the middle east. Yesterday, President Trump ordered the assassination of a top iranian general. With the leader of an iraqi militia. This is a dangerous escalation that brings us closer to another in disastrous war in the middle east. Livescould cost countless and trillions more dollars and lead to even more deaths, more inflict, more displacement the already highly volatile region of the world. When i voted against the war in feared that it would result in greater destabilization in that country and in the entire region. At that time, i warned about the deadly socalled unintended consequences of a unilateral invasion.

Hundreds of thousands of iraqis have been killed. Trillions of dollars have been spent on the war. The result, today we have massive unrest in that country. We have corruption in that country
Care act. Followed by the Supreme Court oral argument examining prayers before government meetings. Later, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director richard cordray. Is now called the Mercedesbenz Superdome in new orleans where the new Orleans Saints play. Built entirely at public expense after hurricane katrina. When it hosted Football Games again, that was a national feel good story and rightly so. But the public paid for all the repairs and the leak put in a token amount per the public it is invested at about 1 billion. Owns the new Orleans Saints keep so most all of the revenue generated there. One reason people dont rebel against this is that they dont understand it is taking place. The second reason is that there they feel there is nothing they can do about it area it is largely based on inside heels and the most recent time there was a vote was in miami last year on whether to use public money to renovate the place where the Miami Dolphins play in the citizens of miami voted
For and got a three month did he clay. Im not asking you to comment on that. I know the chairman asked to you comment on that. But i think there is no shame in pushing out a date based on technology. Thats my opinion. And i want to note that states own experience has been more positive. One of the issues that was local press was his issue of not having people have to sign up to enter the ite to get data as they call the amazon model and id like to get your comments about that. And then i want to get your comments about this issue of market and ual cancellations. That in the aid individual market only 17 of on an keep their plans annual basis. So obviously there is a huge churn that goes on in that individual market. Maybe we dont have a number or today, but it would be great to get that data and if we ave to get it from insurers we should have a number about what that annual rate has been my sense is we are probably following that pretty today. Ame people are saying what is normal chur

Donald trump knows two things, he is ahead in the polls and he is a terrible debater. He knew there was nothing he could possibly gain on the debate stage tonight if he faced solid questions by the moderators p
