I was walking out of the office, listening to an interview of former general mccaffrey and the bill cohen, former secretary of defense. Before i begin, i want to speak a little bit to what they talked about and the revelations of President Trumps disregard of our military and veterans. Quite frankly, if what is written in the atlantic is true, it is disgusting and it affirms what we believe to be what most of us believe to be true. President trump is not fit to be the commanderinchief. The president reportedly said and i emphasize reportedly said that those who signed up to serve, instead of doing something more lucrative, are suckers. Let me be real clear. When my son was an assistant u. S. Attorney and volunteered to go to kosovo while the war was going on, as a civilian, he was not a sucker.

[no audio] kayleigh hello, everyone. Is another historic day at the white house. I have ambassador rick grenell, National Security advisor robert obrien, and Senior Advisor jared kushner, to talk to you about history made at the white house today and then they will take a few questions. Robert it was a great morning in the oval office. Through theogether, hard work of great diplomats, led by rick grenell of the serbiants direction, and kosovo have normalized economic relationships. This serbiakosovo conflict has gone on for decades. They have been unable to move onward for many years, and the president some time ago decided we knighted we needed to try something new, break the deadlock and move forward with the Peace Process with serbia and kosovo.

Joe biden had a lead in every one of the 20 States Hillary clinton carried, plus d. C. , by more than a margin of error, with the possible exception of minnesota. Then he had six battleground states.
