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.

This will be the longest roll call bill in history. The reason they are st
Uranium enrichment. What can expect from the administration . We heard from secretary of state. Omp pao pompeo i would expect more tough talk this week but President Trump is disinclined to intervene militarily a broad. There was a lot of talk recently about pompeo beating the war drum. We have heard less about john bolton lately. President trump has been warning iran but at the same time saying it doesnt look good. I imagine we will hear him telling it iran to knock it off. Something to cut this short. In your National Journal piece at the end of last week, lots going on. Foreign policy, defense dominate the senate. On iran you talked about senators rand paul introducing in thee in terms of Iran National Defense Authorization act, that the senate will begin to take up this week.
