I just want to say this. I get tired of harry reid calling me anarchist. I get tired of Michigan State professors telling young kids that republicans are murdering the country.

Senator mike lee speaking earlier at the summit. Senator ted cruz now speaking he for those gathered here in washington. That summit continues through the weekend. Earlier today, we spoke to steven dennis, White House Correspondent with roll call, about the latest on the budget impasse. To talk about the negotiations.

Has talked about it and that is a up front we are very about. But i dont think you can argue that when it comes to al qaeda in afghanistan, pakistan that the tragedy going after core al qaeda leadership has not been effectively prosecuted. It more dangerous to have an al qaeda lippinged group iraqi cities major than have them in the mountains pakistan . Well, i guess i would have to that the most severe military attack on the United States in our lifetimes occurred organized and ordered out of afghanistan and pakistan by core al qaeda. Theres concern here for the the destruction of supplies . I have obviously, i dont have any specific information about that.
