The italian market, theres a big referendum being held on sunday, november 4 t december 4. The economist endorsed a no vote to telling italians when they go to the polls to vote no. The underlying issue is this doesnt speak to the core issues that the italian people face. If they vote no, what happens here . How does this spin out . Everybody thinks its gloom and doom. I dont think people believe that anymore in the wake of brachial plexus and the election. So you tell me what youre thinking, ill think the opposite. The elite think it will be horrific, the polls say no. Which makes me think yes. Thats way too confusing. If they vote no, there will be a genera
Report starts right now. Happy friday wherever you are. Im Brian Sullivan in for larry and this is the kudlow report. Were live here 7 00 eastern, 4 00 pacific. Lets get right to it. The obama care administrative fix announced yesterday gives the green light to insure towers let people keep the health plans they like. It also lets the president stay true to his promise. The bottom line is insurers can extend current plans that would otherwise be cancelled into 2014 and americans whose plans have been cancelled can choose to reenroll in the same kind of plan. Heres the problem. It puts the insurers who spent years preparing for the obama care roll out in a tough spot. If they attempt reinstating millions of cancelled policies. This is nothing more than the president throwing the hot potato, the hot political potato about cancellations back to the Insurance Companies. He puts them in a hell of a mess. Today ceos from across the Health Insurance industry met with the president to discuss
Youre absolutely right. This will sound familiar. Let me preface it by saying if you listen closely to what dr.

There will be people on site who will observe people both putting on and taking off that garb just like the Doctors Without Borders. The most important point, something weve talked about a lot, there cant be any skin showing. No skin exposed when the garb is put on under these new guidelines. Seemingly a basic point with all that everybody has learned about ebola and how it is transmitted through bodily fluids that get on the skin. An important thing would be to cover the skin. Thats whats going to happen now. I honestly
Watergate scandal. But president Richard Nixon wasnt one of them. The watergate grand jury considered president nixon to be a coconspirator but as a sitting president no federal prosecutor ever charged him with a crime. Thats why it was such a crucial touchstone moment in American History when nixon stepped down as president and his successor gerald ford immediately pardoned him. It was a remarkably controversial thing. The country was in uproar. People were mad at ford about it for years and decades thereafter. It was something specific and important about nixon and about what the criminal law means around president s. Because nixon leaving office as president , him resigning meant that as soon as he was no longer president he could have been charged. He could have been criminally indicted. He might have ended up in prison. It is the fact that gerald ford pardoned him as soon as he left office, that meant nixon never was charged. So we have never seen a president sent to the pokey. Th
