Sevenday outlook. Well talk about that in much more detail. Have to end this note on a positive note. Thats worth the wait. Thanks, buddy. As the rain turned to sleet and then snow this morning, the roads turned slippery fast. Next thing i know, im sliding up the hill and my gosh look where i ended up on the guard rail.

Happening since last night, the answer comes in two words. Ted cruz. Cruz set this up beautifully. First he prevented the house and Senate Budget committees from meeting on what the government should be spending. This stopped the appropriations process in its track.

Mr. Cruzs plan which is to kill that 100 record. Thats what hes up to. If he doesnt get his way, thats what hell do. Got it . Joining me right now is peter king of new york and charles d
