Paying us nearly what they should be paying us. We are losing billions and billions of dollars on defending owe and many of them dont pay us. If they dont pay us, i say why . Hey dont ask. So those countries im sure will start to pay for the defense, but its a fantastic number. Its a very, very large its a shocking number. I will just finish with this. I have Great Respect for japan, but we defend japan, germany, saudi arabia, south korea, 28,000 soldiers right now in south korea. These are wealthy countries. Nd when i say they have to pay more, a general came to refute my statement and said, doesnt mr. Trump know that japan pays 50 of the cost of its defense . And i said, why dont they pay 100 . The numbers you are talking about are massive. And when you add it all together, a lot of good things are going to happen.

One of the prognosticators on this said that this opens the way for the democrats next election year. As far as some of the enthusiasm and my caucus, i always listen to my members. Its a part of our life, but i am proud of the unity that we have had and frankly, my leadership in terms of keeping everybody together and fighting the Health Care Bill in the house of representatives. Very proud of our success in defeating at the first time, moving them to the right to the place where i think is unsustainable, but defines who they are very clearly. Im very proud of our unity which gave me leverage to succeed enormously in negotiations on the bill. When it comes to the issues, we are united in terms of our concern for americans families. Thats what unifies us. When it comes to personal addition and having fun on tv, i love the arena. I thrive on competition, and i welcome discussion. Every action has a reaction, every attack has a reaction with that, im pleased to take any questions. Reporte
