Let's go to new York and talk -- our friend Andy singled in Bloomberg News site do an antique. Good morning -- -- fine thank you. That -- there's a big story in today's Wall Street Journal about Warren Buffett terminating. His municipal bond credit default swaps. And I as I read through it it sounds like he's canceling. He is he's not very optimistic about just some of our municipalities being able to meet their debt obligation exact correct interpretation of his. Eight and a half billion dollar wager. Well -- -- it's thin skinned friend that the Wall Street Journal is making based on they cancellation of that contract and and that could talk to a couple of. Buffett watchers. You know he yeah he wasn't sharing of more than eight billion dollars of municipal debt from fourteen Dayton but included Texas and California and Illinois now. It would be limited contact was made with Lehman Brothers in 2007 Lehman Brothers is still in bankruptcy and now. This -- CDS contract is being canceled while Lehman is still in Chapter Eleven though mr. Buffett was contacted by the journal he did not. Respond or give any comment so it again it's not clear the reasons why he would cancel this -- the afraid of more default but he would have to pay. And took the opportunity to get out or perhaps. You know -- he is looking at. The insurance rates now -- the 2007 which are hire him because they've made more money now in doing the same thing it's just -- you know it's just. The hard to know it's certainly seen that maybe he's more concerned though about municipal debt default. Which by the way are very rare to continue to be very rare. Well yeah it is rare because it's cheaper for the town to raise taxes than it is to default on their debt barring any -- generally they're clear they're a lot better off the municipalities in the states. Are better off meeting their financial obligations -- you declare bankruptcy in two EE can't issue new debt so it. Correct -- you gonna be on the hook for years for a decision like that to not pay -- -- Euro bond side mr. Obama put. Yet most states and cities decide in the -- just pay. All right. I wanted to ask you about -- -- -- here and his -- stepped down from his run for the senate seat in -- can you check the entry numbers and see with the odds are on him must opened up -- -- -- is curious what you -- out of New York -- you know I'm I'm hearing rumors that he's going to be out by 3 o'clock this afternoon. Well -- new ad out politicos reporting that he has put -- and apologizing for his comments and asking for forgiveness on. Unclear what sort of reaction. There is to the add -- leave the comments have a elicited this. Called for him to step down across the the spectrum so he'd looked like he is very much yeah. On his way out at the moment Barry it would be shocker I think if he stayed in the race but you know stranger things have happened this is politics.
