It effects what they are and i hope natalie book will find readers, who might wraps be skeptical about the need for decisive action, will nonetheless be willing to keep an open mind. They will be discussing strategy, with President Trump , tomorrow help he visits the city. Chris stigall of talk radio 1210 wpht is joining us from the retreat in center city to talk more about it. Thanks so much for being with us, you know, i want to start out with the relation hip between Congressional Republicans and President Trump, because, this is a different scenario then we have seen in the past when a party is in power, and then they have the president in the executive branch. They are not seeing eye to eye what do you make of their relationship right now. Reporter funny how winning heels things. You find. It is true though that certainly the speaker of the house paul ryan, not an early trump fan didnt buy in early, but since, were told they speak, a lot. And this congressional retreat , is supposed to highlight, the fact that they will come together that they share a lot of similar goals now, and things like, border security, things like a stronger tea fence, tax policy , you presume those things will be discussed here this week. And you mentioned some of the things, that they, can find some Common Ground on and move forward with. We just heard speaker ryan saying there is no evidence of voter fraud these claims natalie president is make going that is the reason he lost the popular vote. What do you think about that, in terms of the diversion, if republicans are trying to get focused on these, agenda items then we have this voter fraud thing on the other side and how toss that all come together. The remarkable thing about donald trump thus far has been while he will say one thing on twitter and have a lot of the folks in the media like us talking about voter fraud, he is continued to churn out executive action after executive action. He seems to be very capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. So it has been sort of interesting to go watch, media reaction to him verse things he is doing that are not the related to the things we are all talking about. I dont know that it involves Congressional Republicans so much. He says he is implementing an investigation, i presume that goes through his, the department of justice, ultimately run by jeff sessions, so to be the extent that congress would have anything to say about it or to with it, i dont think they have much. Chris, we are running out of time, thanks for being with us. We will be following events over the next couple of taste. Sure will, jessica, back to you.
