I read it. I love it. We will be selling it afterwards. You should buy it. Its beautiful. And i said beautiful because its also a photo book as well as a great collection of stories that really reveal america. Chris is the first guy ive had on stage at a guy who has a phd in physics.

So from lewiston maine to bakersfield california, chris traveled the country, talk to people and again he wasnt doing the same sort of going around the country trip a lot

And then exposed to the back row of america. Drug addicts, drug dealers, prostitutes, and convinced him he needed to figure out what was going on across the country. To bakersfield california he traveled the country to talk to people. And again he wasnt doing that around the country trips that people do by visiting the back row for the prostitutes the homeless or formally homeless or the veterans or the immigrants. But then recently if you follow twitter he has visited the most deplorable group of all which is the conservatives here at aei. The tax collectors and has gone far lower with the tax cutters. [laughter] i want to start what hit me most in the discussion of introspection in the front row. Now here we are at aei and here we are in washington dc and deafly the most educated so i am a ca

It was they who, 79 years ago, gave us a great victory and saved the world from fascism. This. A holiday, as Vladimir Putin noted today, a sacred holiday for our country that unites all generations. Speaking at the main victory parade on red square, the head of state congratulated all russians and addressed the military separately and veterans, as well as heroes of the northern military district. And, of course, he recalled the numerous attempts to distort the truth about the war, and thereby erase the memory of the heroism of the liberator soldiers.
