Hand in hand to insure the Election Security of every single election because i believe the most secure lections are actually the ones held at the local level. Host whats the most outstanding issue as of to day . Rep. Davis there is a lot about standing issues when it comes to election infrastructure. We need to look at the next most secure way of voting is going to be, test those new methods. We sat down with folks who are testing somewhat of a block chain type voting to where you can do it on your phone. Its been used in certain elections in West Virginia. Those are the types of innovations that could make our elections even more secure, but we shouldnt just throw off the table like the democrats have tried to do. Host mr. Starks, go ahead. This week the house had a debate over a bill that the democrats sponsored called the shield act. You have your own bill that is counter to that. I wonder if you can talk about what areas you think there might be a chance for democrats and republic
And Vice President , and senator mcconnell said, no, mr. President. We cant. He said, why . We have cosponsors for the immigration bill. And mr. Mcconnell said, just because theyre cosponsors doesnt mean theyre going to vote for it on the republican side. Its the 60 votes and thats what the president couldnt get was the 60 votes and let me just say he was in the tradition of his great father, was in the tradition of ronald reagan. Ronald reagan and George Herbert walker bush protected more a higher percentage of people in their executive orders than barack obama did. Higher percentage of people. In fact, president obama acted because congress didnt act because president reagan acted when congress acted and he said, you didnt do enough. We will do family fairness and he expanded the protections and president George Herbert walker bush continued that work. So the two of the republican president s of our era, president reagan, president George Herbert walker bush and president george w. B
Is this about the treasury market . Its a little bit about everything. I mean volatility is bark. Weve seen that since late last week into this beak. It has been a most wild ride yesterday and the day before. The biggest number one and two point swings ever in history. So the volatility in equities is back. Some has a correlation to what weve seen in treasury yields. Weve saw them pull back a couple days today, moving higher. We had the budget approval. That brought uncertainty, billions of dollars to be spent over the years ahead. Took us off the earlier highs. In the morning just like yesterday we started off to the downside. Less dramatic. Same pattern. Were down 12points 127 points at open. In the end we flatlined. Were down 19 points. We nearly lost 400 points of gains. Thats too bad because we obviously seen a runup. The big picture volume is here, volatility is here. We have to digest some moving parts. Treasury yields dont always have inverse relationship to stocks. And in this

We ask you all to take your seats if you will. Today we hear from deputy secretary of state John Sullivan on the proposed reforms that he and secretary tillerson are working on for the state department and for the agency for international development. I dont think there are many that question the need to improve the operation of both agencies. A more efficient and effective state department in u. S. A. Id would better promote our National Security and our many other interests around the world. So i have welcomed the administrations undertaking. Secretary state Rex Tillerson has started a process here as those that state will tell you where hes focusing on listening to the diplomats and listening to the employees. Our Foreign Service officers. I think this is very commendable. He has sought feedback from the bottom up. Many employees, he reports, have asked, and i think this speaks volumes, theyve asked for more responsibility and in turn more accountability for their performance. They
