That was interestingly his second inauguration, right . Of course his first inauguration happened under very different very extreme circumstances. President kennedy was assassinated and Vice President johnson had to become president johnson, had to be sworn in as the new president on an airplane. That was his first inauguration. 1963, of course, under terrible circumstances. But then he won a huge election victory in his own right in 1964 and then a record crowd of americans, the biggest crowd ever in d. C. For anything turned out to see him inaugurated for the second time. That record for the largest crowd ever for an inauguration stood for 44 years. Until barack obama. Yeah. Remember that . This was washington, d. C. January 20, 2009. Barack obama being sworn in as president for the first time. We dont have a hardandfast crowd estimate for how many people were there but nobody disputes he beat the record, that he beat lbjs record. And a big part of that was the historic nature of his
Million. Do you think hillary would have asked for 700 million . Oh, boy. I assume you wanted her to win. But you know what, youre going to do great and make more planes. Its going to work out the same or better. Walmart announced plans to create 10,000 jobs and all of those jobs are going to be in the United States. Sprint soft bank is putting in 50 billion because of our election. In the United States over the next four years to create 50,000 jobs. Theyve been terrific, by the way.

Military strength big part and job
California, nevada and arizona come together on the nap, hence the name, calnevari. Now, theres a place that has that same function on the map. All the way around the world in syria as well. It doesnt have the same catchy name. Its a placed call altanf. Its inside syria but it is right at the corner where the borders of jordan, iraq and syria come together in a dry angle point. And as such, its an important spot. It is really remote. It is way out there in the Syrian Desert but its close to that threeway border between those three countries and its also right on the main road that runs from baghdad in iraq to damascus in syria.

Which makes sense, right . You want to avoid getting rolled. You want to avoid getting outmaneuvered or tricked. Particularly when we are a country where leaders turn over every few years and in russia, Vladimir Putin has been in charge for 17 years and
