A lot of building tension over the last couple of days as this region really waited to see how israel would respond to that unprecedented attack by iran last saturday. We didnt know what it would look like in what would happen and some people yesterday thinking it was not going to happen until after the upcoming passover holiday.

That is roughly 200 miles away from the iranian capital of tehran. This is significant because not only is it close to the capital, but also near the Nuclear Facility. We should mention the site was not hit in the strike appeared to target the nearby iranian airbase.

And in introducing him i would like to repeat something that he said at the First National Republican Convention that he attended as a young man in 1884. He was part of a reform wing of the Republican Party, and they had an insurgent candidate to be temporary chair of the convention, taking on the candidacy of the Republican National committee. That candidate happened to be the africanamerican congressman from mississippi, john r. Lynch. Here is some of what our speaker said. It is now less than a quarter of a century since in this city, chicago, the Great Republican Party organized for victory and nominated Abraham Lincoln of illinois who broke the fetors of the slaves and rant them asunder forever. It is a fitting thing for us to choose to preside over this convention one of that race whose right to sit within these walls is due to the bl
