On this Monday night so much to talk about I what I want to do now is turn to Iran now those new Listen to this program regularly know that I did last week discuss Iran in some depth but there have been major developments President Trump fired a social media broadside at the Iranian regime yesterday did you hear about he vowed that war between Washington and it. Would result Listen to this carefully in the official end of Iran before warning never threaten the United States again now the president tweeted hours after a rocket landed less than a mile from the u.s. Embassy in Baghdad heavily fortified Green Zone by the way you'd think you'd be safe in Baghdad after all no way the 1st such attack by the way since September. An Iraqi military spokesman told reporters a rocket appeared to have been fired from east Baghdad which is the home to several Iran backed Shia militias did you hear that Iran backed Shia militias so it's not the Iraqi government here it is Iranian backed Shia militias and again the e-mail if Iran wants to fight that will be the official end of Iran never threaten the United States again now you know the tensions between the United States and Iran have risen in recent weeks particularly after the trumpet ministration ordered warships the Abraham Lincoln and bombers to the Middle East earlier this month and why did that happen to counter what was perceived as threatened attacks against u.s. Interests by Iran or Iranian backed forces now I want to be crystal clear because Lindsey Graham one of the closest people to Donald Trump issued a warning today he said that he believes Iran is behind a recent attack on pipelines and ships around the Middle East a I think he also believes clearly that the attack on the u.s. Embassy if it had been fulfilled would have been rockets fired by Iranian allies he warned the Terran should expect and this is this is this is Lindsey Graham overwhelming military response if it harms American personnel in interest in the region and number to quote him directly. Just received a briefing from the National Security Adviser John Bolton about escalating tensions with Iran it is clear that over the last several weeks Iran has attacked pipelines and ships of other nations and created threat streams against American interests in Iraq the fault lies with the Iranians not the United States or any other nation if the Iranians threat against American personnel and interests are activated we must deliver an overwhelming military response stand firm Mr President members of Congress by the way including Rahm have been expressing frustration that they were out of the loop on intelligence we talked about that the other day Well now they're not out of the loop senior administration officials acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan secretary of state might Pompei o CIA director Gene Aspel and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joe dumb for are planning to provide all members of Congress briefings on Iran beginning as soon as Tuesday tomorrow and let me tell you how they walk out of it's going to be critical Lindsey Graham's already had his briefing the New York Times reported last week and we talked about it on this program that defense secretary acting defense secretary Shanahan presented Donald Trump's national security team with a plan to deploy as many as $120000.00 troops to the Middle East in response to u.s. Intelligence that suggested Iran might be planning attacks on American people in facilities in the region while those attacks are taking place and Lindsey Graham is saying we know who's responsible now wait there's more. Did you know that Iran has ramped up its nuclear capability its ramped up its uranium production and Iran has quadrupled its a real Iranian production and that is what the Iranian spokesperson for their Atomic Energy Agency is saying the nation has stopped complying with key parts of the 2015 nuclear deal by the way they did that after the trumpet ministration ratchet up pressure on the Islamic Republic and Iran will eventually exceed caps on uranium stockpiles and let me tell you it's racing toward the threshold 415-808-0810 telling you we have a problem it's a growing problem and did you hear what Great Britain told Iran simply put do not provoke the United States or Crump will retaliate that's what Britain told Iran today not to underestimate the resolve of the United States warning that if American interests are attacked the administration of President Donald Trump will retaliate foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt of Great Britain said I would say to the Iranians do not underestimate the resolve of the u.s. Side they don't want to war with Iran but if American interests are attacked they will retaliate and that is something the Iranians need to think about very very carefully 415-808-0810 I want to know your reaction to these breaking stories on Iran you bet I do are we headed toward war are the Iranians frankly making a mistake for poking the United States. I think they ought to cease and desist whatever they're doing because do you believe for a minute that the Iranians if they really pose a threat that Donald Trump won't respond. 415808010 Rick emails John sounds to me like they're saying Iran is baiting us into a war it's hard to believe Iran wants to start a war each time we go to war it's with less than adequate information nothing new with this with this strike 415-808-0810 so I want to know your reaction because in a normal time if I were giving you all of this information your response would be oh my God we're headed toward a war I want to know how you react Crump says war will mean the official end of Iran warns Iran never threaten the United States again Lindsey Graham warns of an overwhelming military response if Iran harms American interest Iran responds by ramping up its uranium production and the British teller Ronn do not provoke the United States or crumple retaliate do we have a problem I want to know what you think 415-808-0810 in foreign policy a president is king make no mistake and we talked last week about the War Powers Act and whether or not Congress could restrain the president and the answer is no a War Powers Act would not restrain this president one bit and I would remind you Congress passed a resolution cutting off funds for the war in Yemen and the president vetoed it. And Congress did not have the votes to override and you know what I don't think Donald Trump would have given a tinker's dam one way or the other let's go to eat thank heaven eat is on the line you know eat has on wonderful comments IED far away all was good to talk to you you're a good guy and really glad you came back to video you make a lot of money no I'm not paid when I'm having a lot of fun go ahead. I think that you know pretty good I forgot his name is an idiot Iran had no intention of war whatsoever what we're seeing right now what we're seeing right now is John Bolton in office and in a lot of don't try to control by him and that the now is another weapon of mass deception all over again with inglenook all over again 1st of all no but if it's on . To gain of anything to have war beside they can't win such wars what are going to have we're going to have probably another 1000000 be able deadlock we did in Iraq. More fire in the Middle East more terrorist by the way I'm very happy very happy to say that to say that and differently about Egypt 47 criminals are ready and. Terrorist this morning did that bus business and. People should know this was by this was where the pyramids are in or just outside of Cairo and the there was an attack on a bus. I believe it was who was Scandinavians I think but whoever I think it was Japanese and whoever was on the bus the caption government is responding vigorously the valley is very important young by the way that there is what it is but a closed the new $1000000000.00 museum Egypt created for someone you know. Common when they had the exhibit here or you know I collect walking sticks I don't know if you know that and I you know I was I was when I was at the Egypt museum with my wife many years ago they sold a walking stick with head which I have in my collection and I love going downhill so last almond it would really have to get this savage beast. Of the administration is just insane you know warmonger that's a good to do and he's going to cause the deaths of 100000 American young kids like he did in Iraq. Let me. Let me just quickly point something out. Is the national security adviser which is not a job which needs congressional confirmation the president was very smart because of Bolton's name had been put forward for a confirmation vote what happened to him when he was u.n. Ambassador he got a a an appointment which because he. Get confirmation was of limited term it was an interim appointment so I think you know. What's going on just elected say that if ever you know the last sort of. Going doing Big Brother because Iran is a very big country Yeah very moderate and a very large army what they're going to do is they're going to pick a little bit about them yes what I want to go let me go as far not only destruction of the Middle East's my family back in Egypt but the whole word maybe I think Israelis by the way have been very restrained on this. And I think it's very very important to point out that yes the rhetoric we're hearing is it coming from Donald Trump and John Bolton but eed you know why you know I don't you know why because any distraction any distraction from the Terrible. So if you look at the 1st hour of the so the 1st 2 hours of 1st hour of this program we don't want even I always appreciate your comments 415-808-0810 look this is a serious issue I cannot remember a president of the United States a saying to a foreign nation that if they threaten us it will be the official end of Iran I mean this is this is mind boggling if Iran wants to fight that will be the official end of Iran never threaten the United States again that's what the president is saying and this is a serious issue I think the Iranians have got to think very carefully as well let's go to Giovanni who's calling from San Francisco Giovanni welcome to k.g. Oh. Hi Thank you great show too by the way I just like to say the former guest that you know facts and figures absolutely incorrect for one and the next thing is total doesn't necessarily represent you know all of us in America by any means but what it does represent is kind of like the strong military that we do need and also it does make the enemies pretty much think that we might follow up with the rhetoric that we say whether we do or don't it's to keep them guessing so. I don't think Bolton can do anything without you know of course having some sort of word from the top around him so I'm I'm again I'm. Kind of a that we are reflecting a stronger military lately and we haven't been engaging So I think it's been working pretty good in some cases you know I got to say one thing though when you say a stronger military. We've never had a weak military and every time Donald Trump says he has made the military stronger I my blood boils because when Barack Obama or George w. Bush or you can go back in time we have not had a weakened military ever and have that to me is a straw man but that's just my view and we shouldn't have we're the most powerful nation in the world. Sir where we are however it's not that same disparity that we have 20 years ago let's just say people have pretty much you know have caught up in a lot of different areas and we have let them in a way I wanted with 2020 years ago we did not have disparity if you stop and think about where we were in 1909 America was. Very accurate internationally and we well 1999 we didn't go into Iraq until. 2003 in 199920 years ago we were half a decade off what we had done in liberating Kuwait and we had a military that was absolutely supremum the world that was you know the whole point so when Donald Trump says we had a weakened military it simply isn't true it's simply a misstatement of fact and what bothers me is that when you repeat that often enough people accept it. Bill Clinton didn't leave us with a weakened military and certainly George w. Bush didn't leave us with a lead we can military and Barack Obama didn't leave us with a weakened military so it's part of this mythology of Donald Trump. Actually certain to change the rules of engagement from the past 2 presidents mentioned and you are right I'm not saying again that. But I really am saying that we it's not just large margin of us being so much more I'd save more powerful if want to use those words with regard to our military and and we really did if you recall and I'm sure you do you know if you remember we have. The Iranians that held our. Forces. Was No no not on us just way back then sir I mean just recently a few years ago when they had our special forces surrounded. Yeah I was well I mean that was well if you read the New York Times the president is talking about a memorial a Memorial Day pardon for suspected war criminals American work rules very interesting I got to run but I appreciate it like you so much 41580808 I am John Rothmann right here on.

We want to give you. 2. Welcome to. A jolly good good show tonight. I agree. Comfy and absolutely reckless and I partially agree with some of the callers say that it's a just you know blowing blowing smoke as a distraction but I believe our Aramco also panned out because they don't want to get into a war they can't win but we all have to remember that trump unilaterally decided to back out of the nuclear deal and essentially given them the green light to expand their nuclear program which they are doing now we now know they're doing that so who knows whether it's one year down the road 2 years down the road 3 years down the road where they come back and say listen we remember what Trump said about us and to us in 2100 not we've got some nuclear warheads and and simplistic missiles and we might want to use them and you're right you remember I opposed the nuclear deal I was very clear about that but I also oppose the abrogation of the deal when Donald Trump did it I thought it was a mistake I believe it opened the door for precisely what you are suggesting and I think frankly I was right. Well you're saying I don't I don't remember and I'm not like don't remember any any any deal that we've done you know in terms of foreign affairs and national defense which was so sophisticated in terms of what we've gained from all the Paris Accords and he did 6 the Paris Accords to really know what was that we actually accomplished John Kerry and Obama really accomplished something special by part talking Iran Iran out of still giving up their nuclear nuclear program no they didn't give up their nuclear program that's that's not correct they think that they suspended their development for a 10 year period and I also thought that it takes a whole lot of inertia to get back up and rolling oh no they're there they were never going to dismantle it and there was no inertia but I have to tell you it was a strategic mistake and our European allies said to us by doing this it's like waving a red flag actually it's not a red flag any flag in the face of a bowl you're just asking for a problem and you're what wrote waving a red flag in terms of what that backing out of the getting a response and the response we got is what we're feeling right now. Iranians are furious and rightly so and now the president adds fuel to the fire can you imagine a president calling for the official and of Iran you know what I remember at the a During the period of World War 2 No one called for the end of Germany they called for the end of the Nazi government and the president talks about the official end of Iran unbelievable anyway i gotta let you go Ed thanks for your call 415-808-0810 many more of you with comments we'll take them right after this job Rothmann on k g o 81018 states in traffic taking a look at k g o traffic slow motion traffic eastbound 5 any from North Wind road right to the tool 5580 split as you head into Tracy this is because of a crash over to the right hand shoulder one of the vehicles involved has overturned traffic on the Bay Bridge into and out of San Francisco is very light without any stalls accidents or road hazards to report this report is sponsored by choose to work fine proven treatment for opioid addiction medication this is to treatment are met is a proven treatment for opioid addiction using f.d.a.

Know one's report on. The voice of reason for 43 years a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame Piers Ronn Owens there is so much going on in the world and in the nation I thought maybe we take a moment and just kind of take a look at what's going on the most serious danger obviously is Iran and I think the question we've got with Iran is not necessarily do we go to war with them because hopefully any thinking person would say let's do anything we can to avoid it the question though is what is our strategy do we have any idea what the end game is what are we trying to accomplish now when President Trump says he wants sanctions to really hurt well. Believing that's what sanctions that they have for this supposed to hurt and therefore change behavior for 40 years we've been trying to figure out a way to make Iran part of the world community it doesn't have that desire so therefore we've got to do something but the president is giving us both sides member last week one of the reporters said are we going to go to war with Iran and he said I hope not and suddenly turned around and sent a tweet which said if Iran wants to fight that'll be the official end of Iran never threaten the United States again harsh words do we back him up and if so with what the president really needs to explain what it is that he wants to accomplish because David Petraeus was on Face the Nation yesterday and he pointed out that what we're asking for is very reasonable and it's not anything that really should put the president in a bad light there are enough other things they can do that for example immigration and abortion these are the 2 topics that everybody's been talking about in addition to Iran abortion suddenly has become a major major issue because out of nowhere now people are taking it seriously and why is that because states that do not want to let a woman have the right to choice have really gotten into a situation where they are pushing for the Supreme Court to rule why well the answer is obvious because the Supreme Court leans to the right and is going to become hard right under President Trump that becomes a major election issue because a woman's right to choice to many of us is absolutely imperative I've always said as far as the abortion issue is concerned it's almost like talk show one o one when people talk about it but the point is I can easily understand that there are 2 sides that both really sincerely believe in what they're doing I really believe that as somebody who is strongly pro-choice I accept the fact that those people who label themselves pro-life really believe it is murder I don't most people don't but they do and I respect that but I don't respect is an inequality in terms of the actual field of battle because if you are quote pro-choice you say I believe a woman has the right to abort and if she does she does on the other hand if you are pro-life you turn around and you say I don't believe a woman has the right to choose and therefore there is no choice one side says you got a choice Do what you want the other side says Nope. Make up your mind for you doesn't really work very well I'm immigration the president has his plan that has been leaking out and part of it to the surprise of many people I've talked to I tend to not find that terrible I mean just in a principle say employed when it comes to immigration I'm not talking about what's going on at the border I'm talking about a general concept that the president troubles put into his ideas which is boiled down to his absolute basic bare form if you're going to come to this country you should be able to provide something for this country and subtext is that you shouldn't be able to go and come to this country that have all your service is a need so filled at the cost of everybody else there's nothing particularly wrong with that I know it's a probably a right wing philosophy to say that and I'm certainly not a right winger by any stretch of the imagination but I don't find anything that terribly wrong with saying you're coming to this country you should be able to do something for this country just as it does something for you to get some e-mails on that one I'm sure and then of course finally we have China and what do we do with China the tariffs Well let's put it in the terms that you and I can understand very well new i Phone according to the latest reports you can add another 160 bucks because the trade war with China isn't going to work maybe maybe not but the bottom line is nobody has been able to really come up with anything that makes it a good idea well maybe the president that's the Ronn Owens report every weekday at 1130 again it's 330 and 730 on k.g. 08 Hi I'm Rick Adelman and I have a feeling that retirement is on your mind you're wondering if you've saved enough or whether your money is in the right places you're wondering when will you be able to retire or will you be able to stay retired and is your money sufficient so you can live in comfort and financial security for the rest of your life you're wondering all this but you really don't have to just wonder you can resolve all these questions in your effort to enjoy a retirement that's everything you want to be and we can help at Edelman Financial Engines our clients are predominantly concerned about retirement your financial security financial security for your.

Schoen Rothenberg a writer on k g o I want to thank Ron Owens you know we try to coordinate the stories not with him but I listen to his report and it's so timely and it fits into this discussion tonight and you need to take into account Iran's observations by the way I want to throw one more thing into the mix in this half hour you may have read the story in The New York Times the president has indicated that he is considering pardons for several American military members accused or convicted of war crimes including high profile cases of murder attempted murder desecration of a corpse this according to 2 u.s. Government officials the officials told The Times of the trumpet ministration has made expedited requests this week for paperwork needed to pardon the troops on or around Memorial Day So let me just throw this into the mix I mean what is the message it sends to the world if the president pardons service men accused of war crimes and when you read the story in The New York Times it's really quite shocking 415-808-0810 let me get to your phones so many of you holding on let me go to a do them in order that they were received Let's go to. George calling from San Leandro George welcome to k.g. Go they go on nice talking with you again by scaring you on my question to you is how can we trust our president who is our commander in chief he lies and this is not in our imagination but he's told so many lies for instance Lyndon Johnson lied about us he attacked during Viet Nam George w. Bush was mistaken about weapons of mass destruction this is most serious we need to trust our leaders and you can't have a leader that lobbies you know look it's a very serious question because we now know that this president in the view of many Americans is not trustworthy. And you're right I what can I say George except we're raising this because as Rahm pointed out in his analysis we just heard no one wants to go to war and as he pointed out we're talking about if we go to war massive casualties I mean we have to really use pride. Back on the rhetoric of all excesses and really talk seriously. And the other thing is that I'm a. Air Force veteran I was a physician any you know I actually share forest here and what I resent greatly is to did not serve and not only did not serve 5 deferments I pick someone out this strikes me as you know just awful and I think I don't respect somebody. He actually he didn't like to see what out of his way not to serve you know I don't understand that and the bone spurs were his problem what do you think and I'm going to ask you quickly so I want to get to all these callers what do you think about the fact that the president may be preparing to pardon servicemen accused of and convicted of war crimes it's always bizarre it is bizarre he just he just be inexplicably It's like going the other way you know it's crazy it's just a lay Senate can't agree with you more and if this happens after Memorial Day We'll be talking about it I appreciate your call 415-808-0810 let me go to Tony calling from Dixon Tony welcome to k.g. . Thanks for taking the call Jonah. The 1st day that I believe that there is a greatly. As our president decided. To run. Is documented as being the last state sponsor of. Debts definite quickly and there's a been the biggest financial force he cited behind upholding ISIS in causing the conflict in Syria. The study that many of the other problems that you know the other parties that we support both in Africa. And elsewhere too that he cheated threats against both Israel and America and there at my doing I don't disagree with you at all but let me ask you yes is what you are laying in your comments but I'm around work for a war with Iran and would you want to see a war with Iran I don't want to see a war with Iran and I and I don't like the comment that Donald Trump tweeted about . You know causing attention to exist one critic in your comparison with you know causing for this is that the German government during the pre war Kiran. You know what bothers me is how but the president doesn't draw a distinction now to the credit of the administration Mike Pompei o o sector state did draw a distinction but that's why I don't like to see foreign policy made by tweets it's simply been taken a lot and something about that sure I don't believe that the tweets are intended for either foreign policy or current public actual affairs are intended necessarily to. Direct policy as much as they are to. Pasir believe it intentional posturing so the purpose of his his negotiating strategy that's what I believe is not negotiating with Iran. Well I don't believe that we should negotiate with Iran I don't I think Iran is just a fall it's Ok but you understand what you just said if I were an Iranian government official and I heard the president say in this way if Iran wants to fight that will be the official end of Iran never threaten the United States again would be concerned about what's going to happen next escalation period is what you can insinuate and I agree a great end 'd and so where does it what is the lead you know. He's a liberal look back to the school days when you got to fight. With somebody on a schoolyard outside a school graduate they said they're going to kill you and it was childish tonight looking authentic equate. The tweaking something akin to that. As f y a call it was doing not so much that he intends to do the unthinkable but in years then remember back to the Iraq war. If we have to keep pushing it's worked out that will start with a dog in Aleppo if he can do it was the number one just general on the ground he tried pussy Blissett to moving into northern Iraq and taking the Republican Party as he done that Iraq war that it's so crippled that the. In not for America to who got would have allowed you want to assume the territory Iraq would have been no longer basically that's what's happened here because who has a presence now in Iraq but Iran look are appreciated call so for phone call. And makes a lot of sense Leslie males John there are a lot of Americans who have no empathy whatsoever for Iran because of the hostage taking in 1989 and the chants of Death to America I theer writes Leslie many Americans would support the president after an attack on Iran because the American people will support the troops I'm not sure the president wouldn't gain support politically in the event he decides to attack Iran it's a very precarious situation well said Well said Don't you think a lots go to Jerome calling from Santa Rosa 'd. my fault here you are Jerome welcome to k.g. . To get such a call was just said so my one time on this is that you do see the animal thanking send email you pay there you go you know where you know your audience wants to see you know they're bad actors you know yet and we find that the time and then my time with his rhetoric on this is that he's a psycho. And there's been other rhetoric you know from past presidents in the past Ok I mean we we talked about like with the 3 callers before the Air Force says the United States Army Air Corps Ok and this will go to later talking about when you're going to all of Heaven parting earning you know servicemen right we don't know on what they actually said that it's possible so when the rhetoric comes in to see pardoning those guys into serving away yes he could as it's war you don't know what happened what are we the rules of engagement all of which you know the 5th we've got a mess the lead guy who is being considered for a pardon was turned in by his own fellow Navy SEALs because he was a catalyst of shooting unarmed civilians and killing an enemy captive with a knife while deployed in Iraq now I don't know the circumstance but what message does it send when the president of the United States pardons a blanket pardon for servicemen accused of war crimes are not told ask the men. Well I know and I know what you're asking but here's the thing we have to add the fact I mean you give me that I walk and so forth but I pulled out stacks classified follicle check it. And went on the list and say look this guy told on the sky to come one but he he Why do you know what I am and he hears nothing in the military side of it and to Granny Granny Mary said Red Line to say what are we. Going to gauge. You're saying I'm just going to tell you within the military and if this happens you'll call back and we'll talk about it if that's happened there is going to be deep deep distress and Fishel said that while assembling pardon files typically takes months the Justice Department stressed that all the files would have to be complete before Memorial Day weekend because the president if he goes through with it plans to pardon the men then and by the way a 2nd u.s. Official confirmed the request and so I mean military branches are deeply affected and we're going to have to see what the response is to all of this I'm only saying to you if you examine what work rhymes mean and you go back and you study the Nuremberg trials the 1st International War Crimes Tribunal you understand that there are real real issues and if this were imposed. I would be concerned but the fact is that people military are concerned look I got to let you go but I appreciate the call and we'll continue this conversation I am sure 41580808 we're going to only take this to the top of the hour I am John Rothmann and you are listening to k.g.

Take this up to the top of the hour we're going to talk about it or not promise Jefferson should he be erased from history here Peach suggested it will talk about it let's go to Phil a lot rather let's go to Ben 1st because Ben's waited a little longer Let's go to Ben in Monterrey then welcome to. The steps I want to put myself in the shoes just for a minute. Now if I'm looking at work and I'm saying. Well. You know when I have a nuclear weapons Israel has over 300 nuclear bombs and nuclear bombs China so for them to want. Countries that tell me that I can have a better base great comment not only answer the answer to your point and it's very interesting is that the only nation which is threatened to use nuclear weapons to destroy another country is Iran they've talked about destroying Israel now that's the distinction that well here's the answer it's here it's just that I think. That they wouldn't do that crazy they know they know they'd get wiped out now one might say Well Israel is authentic democratic country and they're stable and so far their government but they're not that stable they've got forgive me so are the Israelis the Israelis have never threatened the Israelis have never threatened nor has the United States to wipe out a nation even the United Nations has condemned what the Iranians have suggested well I can only tell you that I wouldn't accept that face taste because 1st of all Israel does a good job of threatening and doing a really harsh treatment on the Palestinians. Don't mix metaphors here and there has been. The only nation I serve the only nation in the world which has ever threatened to use a nuclear weapon to wipe out another nation is Iran and that is why the Europeans and the Americans and the United Nations joined together pure and simple God Let's go to Phil Phil you got to end the discussion right here on.

With anything all they do is just send all these next. We really don't know what slow or not and let's just assume for a minute do we have the wild what we have for nation the way they're handling the situation I don't believe anything they're saying it can you know what I mean well you know it's I understand there is skepticism on all sides the question is how do we avoid a confrontation how do we avoid a war and I think that is not impair our Yeah you know thank you Ok I have to go to up against the clock now we're going to shift topics and I apologize to many of you who want to make comments will no doubt come back to this but Mayor Pete who is rising in the ranks has said he wants Thomas Jefferson events surrounding him in buildings named after him rename because well he doesn't like Thomas Jefferson who by the way is ranked almost universally after Lincoln Washington Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt and then Thomas Jefferson. We're going to talk about historical revisionism. And the context of a candidate for president of the United States of America who was saying that everything honoring Thomas Jefferson should be renamed. Remember the author of the Declaration of Independence remember the man who gave us the separation of church and state the man who. Is one of the greatest presidents in the history of this country 415-8080 we're going to come back with Pete's comments on Jefferson get your reaction right here on the John Rothmann program on.
