Before returning to the u. S. On saturday. You can watch coverage of his trip this week on the cspan networks. We have to remember two thing, i think. First, were there because we were attacked in new york city, and 3,000 americans were murdered. Thats why we went to afghanistan, to get those people who were killing us. And second, president obama has said theres a limit to this. Within two years, were not doing it anymore. So i agree with you, julie, at some point you have to let them do it. But in our, in our first goal if we get away from the afghans, etc. , and look at what our first goal was, if i had told you or any of the listeners in 2001 that we would not be attacked again in the United States of america for the next decade, none of, you know, none of us would have believed that. Because at that point alqaeda had more of the advantage. Now we really hav alqaeda and the terrorists definitely on the defensive. And so we can at this point get out most of our forces from afghanist

Let me finish with this. When you look at the faces at st. Peters square how can you not have hope . Those faces glisten with the excitement and possibility that the Worlds Largest church could have a lead history will deliver us to an era of openness, honesty, compassion, and social justice. All this could happen because francis i, thats the name he took, holds tremendous power. As we watched him tonight present himself, we saw how he was calling the shots minute to minute, not operating according to the prescribed choreography directed to him by the vatican officials there.

I want a pope who cares about the welfare of the hull bell people, those without power. And thats hardball for now. Thanks for being with us. Politics nation with al sharpton starts right now.

Ahmadinejad and the clerics back home. Maybe he was caught in the clasp of a grieving mother, could do nothing about it. But this horrible attempt by his supporters to cover up the evidence of what happened and replace that nice lady with that man, this failing so spectacularly is a good thing for the world because when people lie and makeup stuff for political reasons get caught and become an international laughing stock, photoshopping does not advance you politically and instead makes you look ridiculous. The past. Like the 2012 election didnt happen. The election didnt go our way, that means w
