Im eric in for bill hemmer. There is plenty on their plate when it comes to see. Sandra a lot to get to. The president golfed over the weekend with rand paul and Lindsey Graham.

I really think that weve got to do the most we can and the boldest we can. Everybody wants to lower the Corporate Tax. Some are worried do we do a 20 . My goodness. John roberts joins us now.

North korea has taken steps so far, made commitments so far, and making it possible for these three americans to come home before there were any concessions even offered by the United States or allies gives us hope this may be different
