communication on this very significant number of americans being stationed abroad came from. i don t know if it was a failure of the pentagon to adequately brief the senate foreign relations committee, i don t know if it was a failure on the part of the senators to really absorb information that was delivered, but somewhere along the way someone needs to do a much better job of communicating. bill: general mattis was on the hill on friday. part of what s really sad about this is that i think this attitude of we didn t know we had troops in niger is representative of a larger u.s. government attitude towards africa, which is we don t know and we don t care until something happens that directly affects americans and that doesn t happen that often. bill: you think that s it? i don t hope that that s it but i suspect that the deep apathy that a lot of u.s. government lawmakers have shown towards the african continent is something we re seeing played out here. this is not the first
for the flag and saying players should stand for the national anthem taking the side of the president. i can t believe i m agreeing with jimmy carter. it s a new day. bill: the world series is set. the l.a. dodgers and houston astros, game one tomorrow night in los angeles. going to be a scorcher, too. 100 degrees first pitch. a world series record. plus this is coming to your tv screen in the new year. the nfl welcomes one of the greatest all around entertainers in the history of show business. bill: he s back. justin timberlake plays the super bowl halftime show. the announcement came last night on nbc. who could forget the last time he was on stage 15 years ago with janet jackson. it has been blurred when she had that alleged wardrobe malfunction.
obamacare dealt with by this congress and the president in a couple of months. bill: what you re describing to us over history is when you do a big piece of legislation, they take time. it took obama two years to get obamacare passed. 10 or 11 months to get it fixed is not a bad schedule. bill: thank you, governor. john sununu we have you on record. nice to see you on a monday. thanks for coming back. sandra: the u.s. air force flexing its muscles in the showdown with north korea. still ahead what the american fleet of b-52 bombers is reportedly doing for the first time in decades. bill: interesting. also hillary clinton getting a cold shoulder from the fellow democrat up for reelection. why senator joe manchin says he does not want hillary clinton to come and campaign in west virginia. it s got a lot to do with this comment from the campaign trail 2016. what i said was totally out of context from what i meant because i have been talking about helping coal country for a ver
her conference. nobody takes her that seriously and she hyper politicized this very solemn occasion. bill: the media has given her a lot of attention and taken her seriously. the president was asked about secretary kelly on sunday. there is nobody close. you go to the original first day. there was nobody close to doing the job. and i said i would like to take you. how would you like it? and it s not that he wanted it. he would have preferred doing and staying where he was. he is a man that felt it would be important for the country. he does it for the country. he is not doing it for what he wants. he does it for the country. he is a very unusual man. when she made that statement i thought it was sickening, actually. bill: none of us will question secretary kelly and the commitment he has given to the country. why not just let it go? the president tweeted on this this morning. let it go.
