Today and staying for the full day and for this final panel. Im with the center for American Progress. I know every day it seems like president Trumps National security approach seems like a daily train wreck across the board, and on iran in particular it feels like a train wreck.

If you willusing, recall, the selloff of stocks when it began a couple weeks ago, it was sparked by a higher in the jobsed report, which caused a spike in yields.
