And despite people snickering yesterday, talking about dealing with extremism an. We have world news report contributor ashley pratte. They agree on the terrorism and extremism thing. They do not agree on the means to pay for it, contributing members in Good Standing to nato. Only five of the 28 nations are, which is something that the something the president was bee bemoaning yesterday.

The thinking of both sides of this historic moment. Here they are coming to talk to them, really uninvited, he invited himself but the severity was out there and they didnt even know how. [inaudible] they tried to get a sense of how it goes and then there was a discussion, could it full of pterosaur explosives we will have all of them from israel here waiting, there there was snipers all over the rooftops just in case, and the plane, his plane comes in and there are searchlights that catch the fuselage and people are on pin hooks. So he lands and he comes down and he embraces them. He shakes hands and people. [inaudible] there was a sense of unreality that this could happen. He went and made his speech and it was stern, but he expected something in return, and he left jerusalem emptyhanded. A lot of that was because of this individual.
