senator hovan and i called on the administration last week to expedite these permits. not sure the administration has been necessarily dragging their feet. they have approved six of these permits. there's about another 20 pending. we'd like to know, they ought to go ahead and approve them or tell us why. we called within 60 to 90 days, let us know why. we think this will send a strong message to the europeans and to those countries in eastern europe that they won't have to be dependent on russian gas going forward. now, let's be clear, approving this permit and then building the facility and making all the transitions that are necessary isn't going to turn this around right away. we're talking about a multi-year process before some of this american gas can get to europe. but i think it would send the signal that the west or europeans' long-term dependence on russian oil and gas would start to come to an end. and we think this question of energy security ought to be tops on the agenda with this summit that the president is holding right now with our european allies. >>

john hovan of north dakota, a state that has a lot at stake in terms of energy, he was saying we canwhy is this a big issue? as much as the europeans may want to have big sanctions against the russians they can't because they get a third of their oil and gas from russia. as such they are slightly beh d behelden. the next big agenda date i would suggest could be this friday coming up for a whole host of regions. that is when the russian duma is set to vote on bringing crimea into the federation. back to you. >> we'll be watching we're waiting for the next move by putin as well. that is steve sedgwick keeping us up to date on everything that's happening in ukraine. we've been watching the futures for data and janet yellen. joining us from new york is barry knapp, barclays head of u.s. strategy portfolio. gary kaminski is our guest host today. barry, ed, let's start off talking about what the reaction has been. barry, were you surprised by the lack of a reaction really in the markets to this vote from crimea? or was it just so expected that this is what people were already expecting? >>
