Of europes most important rivers. Low water levels and the ryan are making it difficult to navigate in more costly to move cargo. Dominic kind has more from calon. The rhine is really much dryer. It has really receded away from the banks, the side of the river that im on right now. And theres no question that the ships that are trying to pass along the length of the river really have difficulty. We know that theyre having to transport far fewer tonnage than they would want to. We know that that is impacting upon the suppliers, coal steel, iron, those sorts of things. And we know that there have been problems of other kinds. So some ships have developed, developed mechanical faults causing traffic jams as it were, to build up on the rhine. And as yet still no really appreciable levels of rainfall to replenish the ron hedges, longest river is also shrinking in the face of a record breaking heat wife thats lasted more than 2 months.

Their speaker. He said its because theres not enough compromise. Shame on congress. I think it is terrific that hes brash and outspoken. Maybe the folks in washington, d. C. , should tune in th their tvs right now. Its been a great working relationship. President obama called Chris Christie to congratulate him and he got crap for that. Its all about Chris Christie. Way, hawing, look hey, washington, look at me. How about christie spending one day campaigning for Ken Cuccinelli. Look at the knives coming out. Its okay, chris. A very good afternoon to you, and if you needed any further evidence that Chris Christie is now the anointed establishment frontrunner for the 2016 republican president ial nomination, then look no further than the knives that are out against mr. Christie from his socalled republican friends. Thats the real clue beyond the launch of the ready for christie Political Action committee, complete with brand new website.

As we said pretty much every day since we got here, because you guys continue to ask about this topic every single day, there was no collusion.

Governors race, Andrew Gillum both on the van jones show. We all know its been a rough week for the Trump Presidency, as usual. Im going to get to that. Ill get to that. But its the holiday season, and before i talk about the many ways that trump has been naughty, i want to point out two areas where the Trump Administration has actually been nice. Number one, it looks like trumps very strong and vocal support of criminal Justice Reform may actually be paying off. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell has agreed to bring forward the First Step Act to a vote in the senate next week.
