meanwhile january chillies certainly upon us here, how bit, high temperature yesterday did verify as we expect at 32 degrees. that makes five days this month that we are at or below freezing for daytime high temperatures. now obviously janice a a typically cold month. in fact it is typically the coldest month of the winter a and whole year. but you usually eke out temperatures on average, into the the lower 40's around this time of the year so the the fact that we have been below that number for a number of days, it is a-typical but in the like we have never seen it before. how about last winter. still memories of that, right. storm scan three very quiet, a couple cloud still left over here but we are in the influence of high pressure weak zone but won't be completely clear, bright and sunny here but that sunshine in the meantime. as we go outside to the live neighborhood network temperatures in the 20's. it is a little warmer then this same time yesterday. we will look forward in the forecast with temperatures go on a ebb and flow roller coaster ride here from the weak cold front cr

the legislation that is currently before us here in the senate. these strong vote to demonstrate the importance of this program. the chairman of the representative senator schumer and others deserve thanks for bringing the differences to focus and getting us to this point. this bill requires that the private insurance industry absorbed and cover the losses for all but the largest act of terror. one in which the federal government will almost certainly be forced to step in if this program were not in place. the bill increases the the insurance industries aggregate retention level and the companies coinsurance level meaning that it increases the participation of the private sector in responding to the insurance issues created by an act of terrorism in the united states but still provides the stability of the market needs to ensure that there is coverage and protection. once it reaches that level the recruitment will be indexed to the amount of deductibles for all insurers participating in the program. this is a significant reduction in the potential

so the question for those of us here tonight is how we, all of us can better reflect americas hopes. served in congress with many of you. i know many of you well. there are a lot of good people here, on both sides of the aisle. and many of you have told me that this isnt what you signed up for. arguing past each other on cable shows, the constant fundraising, always looking over your shoulder at how the base will react to every decision. imagine if we broke out of these tired old patterns. imagine if we did something different. understand, a better politics isn't one where democrats abandon their agenda or republicans simply embrace mine. a better politics is one where we appeal to each other's basic decency instead of our basest fears. a better politics is one where we debate without demonizing each other; where we talk issues, and values, and principles, and facts, rather than gotcha moments or trivial gaffes or fake controversies that have nothing to do with people's daily lives. a better politics is one where we spend less time drowning in dark money for ads that pull us into the
