With that, we have until 11 30 to discuss a not exactly minor issue in this entire scenario that we are facing until the end of what you are why are you looking at me in horror . Fascination, not horror, with our topic. I know. With you three on the panel, especially you, this panel will run itself, but i will attempt to impose a minimum of discipline.

And before the protests there was the pandemic and covid is killing africanamericans disproportionately. Harvards David Williams explains why.

The president says he is willing to work with duterte to ramp up pressure on north korea. President trump told bloomberg if it would be appropriate for me to meet with him i would absolutely i would be honored to do it but under the right circumstances, i would do that.
