The largest countries in the world, russia, china, india so the issue is that socialism didnt work before and its not going to work now. The verdict of history kind of argument.

Before we begin with the book, explain how you became the acting attorney general to us. Great first question. I was chief of staff to attorney general Jeff Sessions starting in october of 2017, i did that for 13 months before general sessions resigned abruptly the day after the elections in 2018 and the president appointed me that day, the acting attorney general utterly bridged the gap between Jeff Sessions and william barr.
