Hillarys slogan, is similarly problemat ying. When was the United States ever whole . Host why do you think Bernie Sanders faced so much backlash from the black lives matter group when he said, all lives matter . Guest well, he didnt really issue in that slogan. It was initiated by some people after the black lives matter hash tag got circulated. So he said it in one speech. But i think he has an understanding and he has had it consistently through his senate career, that we have particular challenges to the valuing and the equality of black and brown bodies in the United States, and native americans as well. So, we have of course, all lives matter but we need to redress the particular obstacles that some of our citizens and other People Living in this space faced in just daytoday survival.

Of money. Do you think pension advances should be regulated like those products for people who really need the money . Some sort of Interest Rate cap . I mean, are we making a mistake by outlawing these as opposed to just making them behave like moral human beings . That would be a good start.

In terms of another priority that i think youre starting to hear a little bit about, we have to put patients at the center of this. So if you look at the statistics we have 7,000 diseases. Yet, we have treatments for, i believe, dr. Collins, 500 of those. The system is doing its work. Its churning through the science and getting the outcomes to the doors of the fda. The fda is doing its work and then we get some approvals and we put that out into the system. But at the rate were going, i dont think that any of the diseases that were all going to be afflicted with at some point in time really stand a chance of being covered in the near term. So i think the speed issue thats been articulated by many of you is of critical importance. So i think as this group does its work, figuring out what are tho
