Just a job to provide for myself and his parents, but a career that he enjoyed and more importantly passionate about it even though he spent a lot of hours working, he was always love for his work. We spoke about the law and how he applied the law. He was objective in his determination of the law with courtesy, we areith respect and with the highest professionism. Although he worked often, he always took time to spend with me his number one fan and his pamly and friends. He was always there when somebody needed something. When wenjian was not working, he
cared a lot for the chinese community. He wanted to always do his best to help and support. The very community that he was part of wenjians kind heart loved by his friend and colleagues and our extended family ha isthat is here today. The caring son, a loving husband and a loyal friend.

politico, jonathan martin, thank you very much for being on this morning. that was fun. thank you. ahead on morning joe, jetblue has been busy trying to expand its reach with two big moves. we ll talk to the airlines ceo about that, and some of the issues the industry faced during holiday travel. plus, kansas city chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes is awarded the trophy ahead of the super bowl. we ll explain why his win last night could be a bad omen for sunday night. next week on morning joe, we ll have big news on who is coming to the 3050 summit in abu dhabi. forbes and know your value are spearheading a global event around international women s day. it is just over three weeks away. wait until you hear who is coming. we ve slated hillary clinton, gloria steinem, malala, ayesha curry, misty copeland,
