It is going to open up dialogue. It is going to show certain elements of russia that are probably not always welcome to the people in power. I think having the world cup there is going to do much more in terms of resolving current problems then taking it away. The moment the west takes it away that is how it will be perceived in russia, the west taking away the world cup. They are going to completely isolate themselves and the situation will probably deteriorate even more. Ive lived in ukraine myself. I get that. But i think taking the world cup away from russia will not solve this issue. People involved in the game in ukraine want to go if they qualify. I think that shows some of the problems. I think that in terms of the bidding process, it was russias time, just like it was brazils time. I think, whether the payments were made or not, they were lined up. The difference is qatar. That is a whole different story. [indiscernible] regardingef comment how germany succeeded is really a tr

Had tremendous town Hall Meetings. A lot of Good Exchange of information. So, with this looming house of Representatives Health care bill which i refer to as trump care since the president has endorsed particula it, i wanted to see a particular group in our society that is extremely vulnerable, and that is that the Older Americans, but not old enough to be 65 to be eligible for medicare. E now, by the way be careful because there are people lurking these halls in the administration that would like to raise medicare eligibility from 65 67.
