Addiction. Looiid like to say good morning. We originally scheduled this for 10 00 a. M. Welcome to the National Press club. My name is jamie. I help guideline the committee here at the club. On behalf of the 3,000 members of the press club and our president i want to welcome you here today and welcome our guests. Before we get into introductions of our speakers, i havent really done this before. I chaired the Headliners Committee for the past couple years prior to when we made it part of the news maker committee before we made it the Headliners Committee. I never really talked about the process of how we select something to be either a news maker or a headliner. It seems like before we had the hurricanes and the earthquakes, the National Disaster we were talking about was the Opioid Crisis. As the counter goes t wasnt th it wasnt that long ago. We thought it would be important this particular week when we thought congress would be dealing with the budget to talk about this. Because ho
Talent in [ speaking spanish ] cooperatives and old cars that still run. [ speaking spanish ] [ laughter ] [ applause ] cuba has an extraordinary resource, a system of education which values every boy and every girl. [ applause ] and in recent years the cuban government has begun to open up to the world, and open up more space for that talent to thrive. In just a few years we have seen how [ speaking spanish ] can succeed while sustaining a distinctly cuban spirit. Being selfemployed isnt about becoming more american, its about becoming more of yourself. Look at [ inaudible ] who chose to start a small business. She said our secret is not in comepying or imitating, but simply being ourselves. Look at a barber whos success allowed him to improve conditions in his neighborhood. I realize im not going to solve all of the worlds problems, he said, but if i can solve problems in the little piece of the world where i live, it can ripple across havana.

Terror threat level, shutting down all Public Transportation in belgium. Belgiums federal Prosecutor Says he believes one of the two explosions were caused by a suicide bomber. As far as the subway bombing, at least 15 dead, dozens wounded. A few days ago in brussels one of the main suspects in the paris attacks was arrested. What do you make of the reaction to the market . I have been watching the futures since before the attack. You never want to say its difficult to relate the two, the markets resilience is surprising. We were at the highs yesterday. If theres a reason to sell, you could say this. I dont see gold spiking. The dollar is stronger. A couple of earnings reports that are negative. Travel has been part of the renaissance of this market. Particularly the airlines. It is almost bizarre how muted the market is to this. After paris, the market came back. Theres a recovery period.

Need the delegates to win delegates who are sympathetic to my cause. Then you need to ask the question of what things will ook like on the floor. So youll tally up what the votes are, whether someone has a majority, how farther from the majority, how many unbound delegates there are. Certainly in the rules there will be a number of questions that will be asked. It is now, as the chairman said, the majority of delegates in eight states have to sign a petition. You need to be sure that you can get enough delegates to set your to get your name and nomination. It may be that at the rule committees youll ask the question, do i want to change that number eight . It changed in 2012 for purely pragmatic reasons having to do with that convention.
