To our witnesses, welcome to the Foreign Affairs committee, welcome to the members of the public and the press. Welcome to our friends from cspan who are broadcasting this important proceeding. I recognize myself for an Opening Statement. This committee has a long tradition of bipartisanship. We work on that every day. I think we are the most Bipartisan Committee in congress. The main reason is that members on both sides tend to share a vision of American Foreign policy that is rooted in and guided by our values. Supporting human rights and human dignity. Leadershipt american can and should be a force of good in the world. We know that on the world stage our country thrives on the power of partnerships and alliances. Limited in, we are
President ial debate last night because we were watching the current and future president of the United States, donald trump, talk to us about the great things we have done working with him to get this country and economy back on track and the great things we will do not only with donald trump in the next term, but with the republicans in the majority in the house in the next trump administration. You can applaud that, too. While that was going on, the democrats continue the radical move toward the socialist left and we are about to hear from somebody, as you are looking at the people on the stage, one of them may be the democratic candidate for president of the United States, whoever they put up on that stage, their big challenge will be they will have to go up against the gentleman im about to introduce, and that is our dear friend, a man of the house, mike pence of indiana.

Everyone is talking about. Focused andbe host undermining my own authority on the podcast but it is not really about me. It is about the conversation. I try to make it interview centric. I bring in different pundits, journalists, policymakers, elected officials, and we have them all come in for various interviews and draw information from daily events and politics and policy through those interviews. Our listeners really capture what is going on from the horses mouth and from conversations we have rather than a guy with a microphone pontificating about what he believes. Host as you talk in your interviews, what point of view politically do those usually take . Guest my point of view is centerright, i should say rightcenter. Im a conservative man and talk show host. At the Washington Examiner, our brand is straight news, conservative views. Our editorial pages take a rightcenter perspective.
