Our law and review our policy towards egypt and our assistance to egypt including special privileges that egypt receives such as cash flow financing for Foreign Military financing. The u. S. Should carry out its own internal review as well as a dialogue with egyptians inside and outside the Egyptian Government with the stated intention of resuming assistance as soon as the country is clearly back on a democratic path.

And we do, all of us, share a common goal. We all want every working american to be able to save for a dignified, wellfinanced retirement. I trust we all agree that it is in the interests of every American Business to see every working american have a real ownerships take in the American Enterprise. I am very confident that these two goals can be achieved in tandem by strengthening both are public and private Retirement Systems and the that make thems successful. There is too much knowledge in this audience today to really talk about retirement saving shortfalls, woes, and problems, and we know there is a serious risk arising over poverty if we do not ask soon to shore up our public and private Retirement Systems and lift americas Retirement Savings rate.

He speaks to generals frankly, but so do the grunts and the other minor characters who drive the plot of any major story. This month marks the tenth anniversary of george w. Bushs invasion of iraq. Nothing written or said better explains the resulting folly than rajivs book, life in the emrad city, the green zone. And yesterday again, rajiv, gives us detail, the new book, Little America. Right now these days, a shortterm sequester to find 80 billion, but over the next decade we have to scrape up three to five trillion, which is just about what we managed to squander on an iraq war that left so many dead and so many more people who hate us. So lets start there. In the front piece of imperial city, he quotes t. E. Lawrence who advised his british superiors in 1917, do not try to do too much with your own hands.

I dont like looking at these polls, jon. Theyre pretty theyre bad for the president. Theyre bad for congress. I mean theyre bad for anybody in washington.

Ig released his report, attorney general bill barr found some major problems with those findings. Just as President Trump is criticizing his fbi director who does not use the word fighting for his take on the report. I think our nation was turned on its head for three years.
