Steve joining us on newsmakers is jb poersch. He is the president of the Senate Majority pack. Thank you for joining us. J. B. thank you, steve. Steve let me begin with the Senate Republican leader up for reelection in kentucky. We have not seen him public in the last month because he fractured his shoulder as a result of a fall that took place in louisville at his home.
