New york stock exchange, and Hillary Vaughn on capitol hill. Lets start with edward, investors seem to like what chair powell had to say. Reporter yeah, just somewhat, right . 29 or so points, somewhat like it lauren. The Federal Reserve chairmans touted this very Strong Economy that were in right now. Even at one point, signaled taking credit for keeping the expansion going through the rate cuts they made, powell said it was a difficult year where the fed reversed course. Weve cut rates three times since july. Thats 75 basis points worth of cuts and we do believe that Monetary Policy operates with long and variable lags and that itll take some time before the full effects of those actions are seen in the economy. So thatll take some time, so thats one reason to hold back and wait. Reporter and powell is watching inflation very closely, core pce inflation at 1. 3 over the past 12 months below their 2 target, powell does signal as you heard no more rate cuts or hikes, for next year. He says Consumer Spending remains strong and is moving at a strong pace, but in Business Investment, it is a little bit weaker, partly because of the uncertainty out there, with democrats ratifying or signaling as the ratification vote for usmca, it could remove some of that uncertainty, powell says that is a positive, with a but, listen. One way to look at it is whats been moving financial markets. Its been news about the negotiations with china. Not so much usmca. I think the difference between nafta and usmca is smaller than the difference between current arrangements with china and whats being negotiated. Reporter and so you remove the uncertainty with the china and Business Investment signaling possibly could release more, so to increase more. Now onthejob front, the Federal Reserve chairman believes theres more slack in the economy, the Unemployment Rate signaling it could go even lower than it is right now. The Federal Reserve chairman saying there was wages, he said, because theres more people on the sidelines that may be the reason that wages arent rising faster. Back to you guys. Lauren in the end uneventful if you will, Edward Lawrence thank you very much for covering that. For more on how traders reacted were going to gerri willis at the new york stock exchange. Okay, gerri what did traders tell you . Gerri deirdre i have to tell you this is sort of almost exactly what they expected. You saw the trading rates today it was really pretty narrow. Traders were expecting the fed to stay on, and it did. Look even the pressure afterward s not too surprising. Let me tell you though what happened as a result. Tiny bit of a flight to quality here, gold higher, the 10 year treasury yield lower, that suggested that some people taking a little bit of risk off the table, but the economy and focus here as you know, the fed is saying were expecting the economy to grow at 2 rate in 2020 next year, and who agrees . Well the business round table saying that we see growth and this is expressed as a 2. 1 , they are lowering their outlook. Why . Well the Ceo Jamie Dimon whose also ceo of jpmorgan saying we need more progress on trade talks with china. So if big ceos are rattled what do Small Business operators say . They are very encouraged in fact the sentiment indicator for Small Business operators at a fourmonth high take a look at that as of course these business operators typically dont Work Overseas so maybe thats the answer to that question, but between what some folks are saying they expect out of the economy next year, and what others are fascinated today as we watch these traders react to whats going on in the marketplace, they believe that the economy is going to grow faster than the fed. Deirdre back to you. Gerri, thank you. Lauren meanwhile, a former employee now whistleblower who raised concerns about the production of the 737 max jet prior to two deadly crashes is testifying before lawmakers today we go to Hillary Vaughn on capitol hill, following every tick here, hillary whats the very latest . Reporter the whistleblower says the faa and boeing knew that the 737 max crash was caused by a reduction problem, at their plant in renton, virginia, rent on, washington. They warned the ntsb, the faa and department of transportation that that factory was being pushed to its limit as boeing was told to pump out more planes but nothing was donald so two planes from that factory crashed and killed hundreds. The timeframe 737 factory was in chaos. When i mentioned the operations in the military shutdown for lesser safety concerns, i will never forget his response, which was, military isnt a profit making organization. Both boeing and the faa knew in december 2018 that the original sensor on the airplane had failed, which is clearly a production issue since the airplane was brand new. The faa administrator that testified before lawmakers faced questions and admitted that the faa internally issued a report warning in 2018 that the 737 max could have one fatal crash every two to three years unless major changes were made, but faa officials did not ground the plane and then months later, another 737 max from the same factory crashed. Was the mistake made . Obviously the result is not satisfactory. Well you just cant bring yourself to say that weve made a mistake . Did the faa, at some point in this process, make a mistake . Yes. Reporter boeing says they took the concerns seriously and did not sacrifice quality and safety to speed up production of their planes, the faa administrator says they are considering putting a civil penalty on boeing and also taking further action. Lauren hillary unbelievable no effect on boeing stock today, thank you very much. The worlds most valuable Public Company had a great debut on the stock market. Oil giant saudi aramco surged 10 today, grady has more, so grady, market value 1. 8 trillion, as of today. Is that right . Thats right and the Company Raised 25. 6 billion with today s ipo alone and right when that opening bell rank as you saw just there, saudi aramco became the most valuable Publiclytraded Company in the history of publiclytraded companies as you said around 1. 9 trillion compared to apple which used to be the largest publicly traded company, thats at 1. 2 trillion as of today and also towering over microsoft that 1. 16 trillion, one difference between aramco and those companies is that aramco only is giving up 1. 5 of the company to the public, to trade and it was by all accounts a strong ipo, the stock jumped 10 right away to 9. 39 on the saudi exchange. But one thing thats interesting american investors are still staying away from this company. They say that its overvalued. Some of the concerns that they have is that its vulnerable to attack. For example, some of its refineries face those drone strikes back in september. They think that it could be susceptibile to geopolitical turmoil in the future. Another thing is that its run by the saudi government, so if investors dont trust government , then they dont trust the people running this company. Then on top of that you have consumers shifting to renewable energy, so theres a lot of concern about this, but by all accounts as i said this ipo was a success and inching closer to that 2 trillion valuation which has never been seen before. Wow, yeah. Big, big, big, right . And a lot of people are pessimistic even before that went public, but looks like it had a good day. Lauren absolutely, grady, thank you very much. Were awaiting right now on newer remarks from President Trump any minute. He is set to sign an executive order which would combatant i semitism.

We are awaiting for comments from the white house President Trump set to sign an executive order on antisemitism. Fox business blake burman is at the white house, he has the very latest, blake . Hi, deirdre. Hanukkah coming up in 12 days time and the white house set to celebrate that and the president here with an event at the east room. Live look left side of the screen and also led to believe from the white house the beginning of the event the president will be signing an executive order as it relates to trying to combatant i semitism, on College Campus that issue is title 6 of the 1964 civil rights about which says institutions that receive public funding cannot discriminate based off of race, color, or National Origin. There is a bit of controversy surrounding this as this Administration Says its going to make clear that title vi applies to antisemetic discrimination which has some raising the issue of whether or not the administration is saying that judaism is also a National Origin. Either way, this does have support from some of the president s backers and he will be signing this executive order momentary ill it. Meantime we continue to keep our eye on the two major trade deals and of course the president has until sunday to make a decision as to whether or not hes Going Forward with the additional batch of tariffs on china, and then there is also the usmca trade deal. Today the first republican to come out and officially say that they will not be supporting that deal in the senate, senator pat toomey feels the usmca restricts and does not expand trade. Senator Chuck Grassley spoke with Maria Bartiromo earlier this morning, and told maria that he does not feel that the usmca is in any sort of trouble, in the Senate Listen here. Maria are you expecting any pushback do you think this passes yeah, just as soon as we get done with impeachment itll pass the senate a lot easier than it passes the house of representatives. The business round table and the u. S. Chamber of commerce also today both said that they support the usmca but they do have concerns regarding ip protection, so deirdre, awaiting the president any moment. He will celebrate hanukkah, and sign that executive order as well. Very good, blake, thank you. Lauren lets bring in the former Trump State Department senior advisor, and oped today on foxbusiness. Com titled trump should cancel china trade deal and raise tariffs. Christian thanks for joining us lets make this brief we might have to go to the president any minute now, but you saying im quoting you now would be an unfortunate time to throw a life line to the chinese government, right . If you look at it, chinese growth probably close to zero maybe negative, food prices have spiked over there in part because of mismanagement in part because of swine flu and they are swimming in a lot of fake debt so a lot of political problems of their own making in hong kong, so why give them this deal which frankly, they need much more than we do. After all trump just got usmca january 1 the u. S. Japan agreement kicks into place its another thing trump has negotiated which will help farmers a lot, so why give the chinese something right now that frankly, they need and we dont. Lauren and if Boris Johnson wins and we get brexit, we could have a trade pact with the uk as well. I hear your point but a lot of americans, American Farmers and consumers say look, we really dont like this tariff environment. Why dont we just delay sundays tariffs. Would you make the argument that while the concession has already been made in that any phase i is already a concession because its watered down version of a broader deal. Yeah, i think thats right. Really even agreeing to this negotiation was a favor to the chinese in a way this is a Steven Mnuchin skinny deal as opposed to the comprehensive deal that trump advocated all along and the idea is well get through this one and the fact is this is the second time weve bent over backwards for the chinese, there was the may agreement and now this one, too. They may come forward and buy a bunch of agricultural stuff, but they have to do that. Half of their pigs which is the main source of protein in china have died from swine flu so they have to buy this from us or brazil or others but as far as i p changes, they have a couple laws but they are really jokes if you look at it. They arent going to protect American Intellectual property and frankly, yeah, okay ranchers are hurting although if you look at five year averages a lot of the commodities prices are doing just fine but whats better would be to remove the uncertainty of this china trade deal and the fact this is over shadowing corporate earnings , and the upswing, and economic performance, now that weve gotten the fed out of the way, somewhat, frankly just to punt this to 2021 would be good for business. Lauren so no china trade deal until 2021 not even trying to get one done until after the election . I think weve tried hard enough. The president will make a decision. I think the decision will come this week but frankly, just sort of following through, again china has had its chance. Lauren is that decoupling though essentially . Weve seen supply chains move out of china, many including samsung, to vietnam. That is hurting china. It is turning many of their booming cities into ghost towns. If you will but would that mean a complete decoupling . I wouldnt mean a complete decoupling. It would still be one of our largest trading partners. We would just be putting on the tariffs that we plan to put on that would bias trade against china toward bringing Companies Back to the United States or at least to countries that arent trying to actually kill us, but we would still engage in trade and also just continue moving away from buying strategically important things from china. We dont want to be dependent on them in sensitive areas. Lauren say china actually does play ball and starts to give us some of what we want, puts it on paper how do we enforce that . Well thats the key issue and the only thing that worked so far, the only thing is tariff s, and the chinese scholar came up with china agreed to 336 different reform measures, and then just not enforced them, and so they will literally say and sign anything, but this is the key thing is we cannot simply take off tariffs and hope that they reform. We have to watch the reforms happen before tariffs could come off and that sort of is a flaw with this early deal because even though in october, trump did not agree to takeup any tariffs, the chinese have said oh, wait we think that all of the tariffs have to come off, of the trump adminitration have to come off so i dont think its trust, but verify which is what we do with the soviets. It has to be this trust verified and then take off tariffs maybe. Lauren make a good point christian id direct our viewers to your opex on foxbusiness. Com.

Im honored to be here at this time, at this event, because this is really a bipartisan issue, and i know previous administrations had tried to do something in this area, and we know that College Campuses a place where you bridge build and you include people and have education and not be something that is exclusive and drives people away, and generates hatred, so im so proud that at this time, were doing something that is so bipartisan and my wife would be smiling now because she loved America First and israel and wanted to build bridges between the two places, and i think this more than anything is going to help do that so thank you very much. [applause] President Trump thank you. Thank you very much, bob. I also want to extend my appreciation to israels ambassador, who has become a friend of mine and terrific guy, ron dermer. Thank you, ron, very much. [applause] President Trump as we gather this afternoon our thoughts turn to the grieving families in new jersey. Yesterday two wicked murders opened fire at a kosher supermarket and killed four innocent soles including a brave Police Officer who faced down the shooter and very brave ly faced the shooter down, with one heart america weeps for the lives lost and one voice weve vowed to crush the evil of antisemitism, whenever and wherever it appears and were working very hard on that and i can tell you that we have a lot of people in government working very very hard on that and we appreciate their work. Not easy. Joining us on stage for this event are two great Jewish American patriots Army Veteran Oscar stuart and Border Patrol agent jonathan morales. [applause] President Trump as many of you remember both of these heros were at the synagogue when a killer opened fire and by the way Robert Jeffers i see you right here and what a tremendous faith leader you are and a tremendous man you are and thank you for being here, we have so many people and so many great faith leaders here, and i want to thank you all for being here. Its fantastic. This is a great day and we appreciate it very much, robert thank you very much. [applause] President Trump the race towards the gunfire to save countless american lives, oscar and jonathan thank you both for responding to the worst evil with the best of american valor, this afternoon we celebrate the miracle of hanukkah, more than 2,000 years ago a ruthless tyrant prosecuted the jewish people and desecrated the temple of jerusalem but a group of jewish patriots defeated a powerful army, rededicated the temple and won back their right to worship god and freedom, recently i received a remarkable letter from a 12yearold boy named Austin Polanski from san francisco, california. In the letter, austin summed up the meaning of hanukkah. He said it is a tradition to light the menorah and place it by the window. We do this to exemplify how we are not afraid to show who we are or what we believe in. In austins letter we asked if he could celebrate hanukkah with my family at the white house and this year, we are thrilled to let you know that austin is with us today. Where is austin . [applause] President Trump come on up here , austin. [applause] President Trump good looking guy. Dont be shy its only bob kraft want to say a few words . Sure. President trump come on austin. Lets get with austin. Thank you for having me at the white house today. Its very unexpected. My mom pulled me out of school when the white house called, and i was in the middle of lunch. [laughter] probably one of the first times i was ever speechless. Thank you for having me here. President trump go ahead. [laughter] [applause] President Trump thats a good job, good job, austin. Come here, thank you. Thank you. [applause] President Trump he didnt know he was going to do that. You did a good job, ha . Considering we got you by surprise a little bit, right . Thank you. Stay with the first lady. [laughter] President Trump do you know everybody . Yes. President trump can i have that , austin i want that . Of course our country, Jewish American strength and sustain and inspire our nation as president i will always celebrate and honor the jewish people, and i will always stand with our treasured friend and allie, the state of israel, that i can tell you. [applause] President Trump so two years a. G. Ago, i recognized the true capitol of israel and we opened the American Embassy in jerusalem. [applause] President Trump and we got it built and they were thinking anywhere from 1 billion to 2 billion i did it for 350,000 we got a building that was in beautiful shape in the best location, best location there is , and we got it done. We got it done. We had it open in four months, and its right now opened and i dont know maybe some day they will build a more expensive version of it but it cant get much better right, robert . And ron can tell you it cant get much better, we have the best location, they were going out and they wanted me to sign an order for anywhere from 1 billion to 2 billion and they were going to look for a piece of land but they said land in jerusalem is very rare and very expensive. I said do you think we have a piece . And david friedman, our great ambassador did a fantastic job. [applause] President Trump i said david they want to spend 2 billion. I said go check it outlet me see call me back. He said sir i think we can do it for about 250,000, maybe 300,000 , so well save 1 billion and we have a better location than any location we could have gotten, right . And its been open now for a long time. So it was great and we used all jerusalem stone. Friends of mine like jerusalem stone, here it costs a fortune, there it wasnt so expensive. [laughter] President Trump ive also recognized irs sovereignty over the Golan Heights. [applause] President Trump and i said to bob, bob kraft, so what was bigger, bob . What we did for israel in terms of jerusalem and moving the embassy to jerusalem, becoming the capital of israel or the Golan Heights which youve been looking to do for 52 years theyve been having meetings, Nothing Happened until i came along and i said bob kraft which is bigger and more important to the jewish people and i said neither. I said what does that mean and he said what you did by terminating the Iran Nuclear Deal is bigger than both. I think thats big. [applause] President Trump i think thats true. You know . It could be true. I said i agree with that, but today were taking another historic action and in just a few moments ill sign an executive order to combat antisemitism. This action makes clear [applause] President Trump the title vi of the Civil Rights Act which prohibits the federal funding of universities and other institutions that engage in discrimination applies to institutions that traffic in antisemetic hate. [applause] President Trump so this is a very powerful document that were signing today. And its been a very big story over the last number of days when they heard, as you know, they had almost universal support in congress and yet they didnt get it done, and this has gone on for years and years. Theyve almost had universal support but there was always a roadblock, but this year, theres no roadblock, because im doing it myself, its much easier. And we have support from many in congress. This is our message to universities. If you want to accept the tremendous amount of federal dollars that you get every year, you must reject antisemitism. Its very simple. [applause] President Trump my administration will never tolerate the suppression, prosecution or silencing of the jewish people. We have also taken a firm stand against the socalled divestment and sanctions movement or bds, you know that very well. [applause] President Trump i have to tell you Jared Kushner and ivanka have been talking to me about this for three years now maybe longer than that but i go back about three years where its something that i could do about it, and this position we can do things about it and before that, not quite as much. It would be just like you. Successful, doing nicely, but not for this, but theyve been talking from the beginning of the administration theyvevery been bringing this up and we forcefully condemned this antisemetic campaign against the state of israel and its citizens. We are profoundly honored to be joined this afternoon, by a survivor of the nazi holocaust, the darkest chapter of human history. After the war, rosa lee came to america and started a drapery manufacturing business. Now she has written a book, star red in an Award Winning film nd and is going strong at the age of 102. Where is she . [applause] President Trump where is she . Youre looking good. Thank you. Thank you for being here rotundas its an honor. And you do, you really fill our hearts with open joy, rosa lee. In honor of rotundas and the millions of jews who suffered unthinkable prosecution we renew our pledge now and always never again, never again. [applause] President Trump today, we thank god for the jewish people whose love and loyalty, brilliance and bravery, resilience and resolve, spirit and strength, bless america and the world, before i sign the executive order id like to ask oscar to say a few words and jonathan will light the menorah. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Oscar, please. [applause] thank you, mr. President. Oh, boy this is a great moment. So what i want to say is in scriptures it teaches us that when the jewish armies went to fight and conquer the land of israel it says that the generals that speak to their men and say leave if youre afraid. I always wondered why it says this, it says youre afraid to leave because god was fighting for them, so i came up with some of my own, its because you have no faith in god. Well today i stand with a group of people who have tremendous faith in god and we are all of different faith and were all here with one thing in mind and that is to end hate and i am so proud to be standing here the day that this was signed, this is a momentous moment in my life , and i want to thank the president and the first lady for everything that theyve done for israel and but more importantly, what theyve done for america. America is a nation of many many people and we need to remember whatever god you pray to, whatever religion you practice, were all americans and we need to love each other and that will conquer hate. [applause] once again, thank you very much, mr. President. Im deeply honored. President trump fantastic ic job, thank you very much i appreciate it and by the way i see Alan Dershowitz. Come on up here for a second, alan. Wow. [applause] President Trump id like to ask my friends, the pastors to come up here, you know . Robert, and i have to say this to the other pastors some of whom have been very kind. All of whom have been very kind. Weve never had such evangelical christian support. Jeff come on up here, jeff. The other one thats doing such a good job legally to make sure all of this happens, but Robert Jeffers i didnt know him, but i watched him and i watch him on different shows and i say i like that guy. Man, he talks really great about me and i like people to talk well about me. [laughter] President Trump and he was saying, you know, he may not be the greatest christian ive ever seen. He may not know the bible quite as well as the rest of us, in fact he may not know it very well at all. [laughter] President Trump but that guys a real leader, and hes going to do a job and i appreciated that statement. I dont know if i should have but i did, and i think we have led because i think weve made more progress toward faith leaders, weve got rid of the Johnson Amendment which was a disaster, so id like to ask robert if you could say a couple of words and also ask Alan Dershowitz to say and then well sign a very important document. Okay . Robert . Please. [applause] thank you. It is true. I believe President Trump is the most profaith president in history when you look at what he has done for people of all faiths. [applause] and mr. President , you know, jewish and christian believers alike believe what god said to abraham in genesis 12 that god would bless those who blessed israel and he would curse those who curse israel, and i want to thank you, mr. President , for being the kind of president who has the courage to stand up and be when it comes to israel, on the right side of history, but most importantly, youre on the right side of god and thats why you are not going to fail and were going to stand behind you, 100 . Thank you, mr. President. [applause] President Trump thank you. For 65 of my 81 years i have spent at universities, all over the country and all over the world, there is no more important events in those 65 years to turn universities away from being hatred and discrimination than this executive order being signed today. [applause] it is a game changer. It will go down in history as one of the most important events in the 2000year battle against antisemitism. Thank you, mr. President. You did a great, great job. The people who helped you do this did a great great job and you will be remembered by history for all time for having signed this very important order thank you. [applause] President Trump should we do it . [applause] lauren President Trump just signing an executive order to combat antisemitism particularly on College Campuses , by withholding federal funding to certain colleges and universities. We have blake burman standing by , the president spoke for about 20 minutes before signing that executive order. My question to you, blake, what is the real implication of all of this . How does this redefine judaism in any way . Well the backbone of this executive order, lauren, is the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Title vi within the 1964 Civil Rights Act which says that institutions who are receiving federal funding cannot discriminate as it relates to someones race, as to their color, or as to their National Origin, so that is what the trump adminitration is tapping into here. Lauren one quick second if i can stop you lets get back because Jared Kushner, the president s john in law is now speaking. To keeping america free, to keeping america respectful, of people of all faiths and religions and the work that the president has done to ensure that is something that will have an impact for generations to come so i just want to thank you for your amazing leadership and for all you do to pro tik tok so many people. [applause] President Trump well light the menorah. Jonathan . Lauren blake lets bring you back in. Reporter it was the 1964 civil rights about that says they are going to be receiving federal funding and you can not discriminate at all based on someones race, color, or National Origin or federal funding could come away so the thats where the College Campus aspect of this executive order comes in; however as i was describing at the top of the show, lauren, there has been some pushback to this executive order because the administration is saying and as we just heard the president outline and Jared Kushner whose been behind this push, they are saying that antisemitism should fall into that. Well if you look at what the 1964 civil rights about says under title vi, it says race, color, or National Origin and there are some worried that judaism is being defined here, as a nationality, and not necessarily as ones religion, so there has been some contention involving that. I think most would take what the administration here is trying to do and understand it though there is certainly some sort of worry amongst them and we heard this through members of congress today, specifically jewish members of congress who feel that there could be some un intended consequences with this. Either way that is what the president is signing today, this executive order celebrated in the east wing and the other back drop being a hanukkah celebration at the white house that president s traditionally take part in yearly here, this time of the year. Lauren . Lauren blake burman thank you for explaining that to us, we appreciate it. Deirdre . David asman, with us now, our very own, so david we know that you have been watching right alongside with lauren and myself. What is your take . David you know, it was interesting that he didnt talk about either the impeachment or the ig. I mean, sometimes he does stick to script and i think a lot of people in his staff breathe a sigh of relief when he does so, but you know, its amazing how much is going on in terms of the political turmoil that surrounds this presidency. I mean, you have, you do have all of this stuff going on, but in fairness to what to congress and its hard to find anything fair to say about congress these days, but in fair fairness to them it does look like they are moving on with the usmca we remember during the clinton impeachment the stock market went up. Bill clinton, president clinton was actually able to get a reduction in the Capital Gains tax which led to the huge stock market economic boom, so you can get stuff done, despite all of the political turmoil and its not an economic example what he was talking about right now, but theres a lot of things the president of the United States has to do. Some of it is economic, some of it deals with religion as we saw just know and some of it is pure politics as we are seeing in the impeachment and the ig report but its not often he separates because he kind of combines everything together usually, not so today. David quickly what is coming up on bulls bears, nine minutes and counting away . David were not going to skip the debate and whats going on with the ig report and the impeachment battle, with Sidney Powell a former prosecutor written a number of books about overreach, and of course shes also an attorney for general mike flynn caught in the middle of the russia investigation, so shes going to be fascinating, weve got steve forbes, robert wolf a lot of fun people, liz peek is with us, you should be watching.

What is experiencing kidney failure, official are investigating whether it side to larger out tied on larger outrage from romaine le lettuce. Lauren officials o baldwin florida created a city open store that takes care of its business. I hear a lot of the produce is local. Reporter you see only Grocery Store in baldwin. A lot here are elderly or poor, they have limited access to transportation. It is difficult to drive 10 miles to next closest super market. The mayor and city council decided to keep the store open by running it itself. Idea of a government grocer is unusual. Especially for a conservative Community Like baldwin. This is red america, a lot of republicans in this area, it never dawned on anyone to think about it as socialism, we never had the intention of being that way, it is just pure necessity. We dont see this as making a political statement, this is us looking out for ourselves, taking care of our own the way i think it is supposed to be done. Reporter Industry City officials dont want to stay in the business, as soon as a entrepreneur shows up with a viable Business Model to run the place, they will step aside, in the meantime the mayor is also the grocer. Lauren a small town. Why did this store originally, last year, go out of business . Because of the consolidation that weve seen in the Grocery Store industry . Reporter you see two trends, a lot of independent grocers are going out of business it already a low margin business. Then with big retail chains consolidating it pe comes all the becomes all the more competitive and more expensive to reach out to the remote, rural areas, there is less incentive for that. Lauren jonathan thank you so much. Deirdre hard work sometimes pays off, maryland Real Estate Company surprised as 198 employees with a 10 Million Dollar Holiday Bonus on split. Why did you do it .
