Recognizes that sound. Well, thats correct, brian. If you remember Defense Secretary mattis was the first led the first marines on the ground shortly after 9 11. Lets get with the breaking news, moments ago fox news has learned the taliban claimed responsibility for a massive Rocket Attack at kabuls International Airport. 40 to 45 rockets and rocket propelled grenades landed near the Passenger Terminal just less than two hours after Defense Secretary jim mattis arrived with his entourage which included the press.

And i would say, first of all, there is this may come as no surprise to you a real frustration with how the media, the Mainstream Media and the partisan media covers what politicians do in congress. A lot of frustration that we simply cannot say completely what you want to say, even about what the problems are or what you are trying to do. And the second thing is that there is, as in my case, considerable confusion about our republican colleagues. And so the confusion about what they were really thinking. So i spent the better part of four years thinking and writing about revising this book. I do, as he said, work for the association of american publishers.
