Able to cross the aisle and make things happen between the parties, or whats really at work here . What do you think is going on . Well, ive spoken to both charlie and john taylor. These are veteran legislators who have been there a long, long time one in congress, one in the state house. Have served 20 to 30 years each. In both cases, they cited the inability to get anything done in harrisburg and in washington. Rather than focus on their party or the Democratic Party, its both parties, and its a problem.

Good morning. As we come on the air this week, President Trump in saudi arabia, about to give a major speech to the muslim world. Billed as a message of hope and tolerance, its likely to signal a major break from the harsh rhetoric of the president s campaign. When he railed against radical islamic terrorists and said flatly, islam hates us. The white house is hoping this whole trip will bring a Welcome Break from the most battering week of the trump presidency. A daily cascade of damaging headlines this week.
